Nissan factory keyless entry remote

Is anyone else using the Nissan remote still ?

I have the Nissan car key that is held in a black plastic remote casing and has 1 button on it for keyless entry.

When I opened it to change the button battery in it, I saw a bit of circuitry and a a lil dial which I assume is to dial in the frequency to what you need.

The reason for this thread:

My remote casing is physically dying and I want to do something about it.

I've heard that you can get some car audio shop to duplicate the functionality of the factory remote and you end up with a standalone remote that you can keep as a spare, etc.

Has anyone ever had this done or know where I can get this done ?

Like anything in NSW, I assume they send it away to someone in Melbourne.

I know this is a bit hard to have done outside the original manufacturer with new cars as they have messages going back and forth from the car to the remote so you can't easily duplicate it for anything under 100 bucks.

Would appreciate any feedback from those in the know. Otherwise I fear I may have to one day engineer a wallnut shell and some chewing gum to be a replacement...or worse case scenario involves buying a new central locking kit because its the only feasible option.

I had the same problem with another car you can get remotes that save your existing frequency.

You just hold your old remote and the new remote close together, press and hold your old remote button, while holding the old remote button press and hold the new remote button and it saves the frequency to the new remote giving you a new remote or back up.

Thanks camandcandice - I guess that'll do the trick. Sounds risky and I don't think I'll ever let my remote out of my sight again. But thats what I am going to have to get. Do you have any details for me ? I'd like to chase this up. A shop/contact name and price would be great.

The standard camry's had a similar option.

Basically if you have an existing remote entry key, you pu it into a reader located in the glovebox for 5 seconds, removed it, put in the blank remote key you purchase from Toyota for $40 and you now have two.

Although you need the original key...

Possibly you could talk to an alarm company who can incorporate remote entry into the alarm - then you can get rid of what you have ??

Its called a universal remote you can purchase one from your nearest Ashdown you will have to look the address up. But there is a store in sydney not to sure where its situated though. Other wise you could try your local Autobarn or Repco.

Go to your local DSE and pick up a learning remote about 39 bucks, open it up using the supplied screwdriver place the jumper on it and hold it next to the original remote hold down the appropriate buttons and voila it learns the code.

Once finished remove the jumper assemble the remote and away you go.

Too easy

After a bit of surfing (thanks to some guidance), here are the options I found:

-> Jaycar. Brand unknown. 4 Buttons. $45. Frequency range 250mHz to 450mHz.

-> Tandy. Rhino brand. 4 Buttons. $40 on special (else $50). Frequency range 255MHz to 500MHz

-> Dick Smith. Same as the Rhino version above but without the special, so $50.

The next step is to sort out the different frequencies. Do I take a punt at the wider frequency of 255-500, or am I the guy who is going to need the 250-255 because the Nissan remote requires this ?

If anyone doesn't know any better, I'll go for the 255-500 and let you guys know what happens so you can learn from my mistake.

Here's a quick update on this situation.

Bought the remocon off Ebay, which is the same product as the Tandy Rhino version.

Tried everything I could to get the thing to learn, but it didn't.

It may be that my button is too unreliable for me to get it to work while I am trying to get the learning remote to catch the signal.

As it stands, I have disected the original remote down to what looks like a nice little PCB with a few components around the main button. The button moves around a little, so I'm wondering if I could just find someone on SAU who is an electronics guru who would be able to replace this for me.

The PCB has different circuitry on the back than the front, so I am unable to figure out how the button is attached to the PCB. Usually the PCB has the same tracks underneath, so you can easily de-solder the button from the underside and replace it that way.

Any ideas ?

As it stands, I have to break both thumbs trying to get the button to work.

Some times it needs a sensitive touch and some times it wants to get rough.

Some times it takes a few seconds, and some times it takes 5-10 painful minutes. Not fun in the rain.

I have an upgrade alarm dependent on this, so quite limited in what my alternatives are.

Unless you guys can come up with something ?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
