No keys - Help needed

P

Paynee

i am looking at buying a silver GTi salvage, only problem it has no keys, whats needed to fit a lockset off another gti and to get it running, alternatively anyone know roughly how much it would cost from nissan for a key and to get it programmed to immobiliser or whatever it needs.
 
either way i would think you will need NATS reprogramming, which prob ain't cheap from nissan,

and as for gettin lock set and having it programmed from nissan - don't know about an actual figure but i'd be ready to bend over when you ask them!!:eek:

sorry that ain'r much help is it?:rolleyes: i'm sure someone who knows what they're talking about will be along soon...
 
Ur need to get a new ecu, ignition barrel an a set of new transponder keys. U might even need to get new door locks, unless some how you can find a key that,ll fit!!! the only way nissan can code more keys into the ecu is by using a transponder key thats already paired to the car! Dont hold me to this tho m8, but thats what the lexus i work on are like!!
 
Mate of mine had his Scooby broken into a few weeks ago - they had to fit a new barrel and give him a matching key. Cost about £500 if that helps. But his door locks weren't damaged so he uses the original keys to open up/turn off the immob

Went to Nissan today as I need new key
For re-progamming they wanted to charge me £80, so fitting a new one can't be less
 
I would go to a key maker place they should be able to take your ignition barrel out and then make a key from that. it would be easier then changing all the locks and ignition barrel. once you got the key all you need is to program it :)
 
my key operates a basic GX model, no NATS or immobilisers or any of that nonsense. Its basically just a piece of metal with no electronics. How much would they charge me for a replacement key of this type?

rite mate i get my keys done for 15 quid as my dad works for nissan but i dont think he will fancy going on a long journey just to do a forigner but hey will vary between 30 and 50 quid i think
 
Or you could find a smashed up GTi and get the locks, ign barrel, keys and ECU off it. No need for new parts as its pre-programmed.
 
just get a key from nissan and get it coded to the car thats it to get it started if ya want remote central lockin then u need to buy a control unit which aint cheap take ur reg number and v5 to any nissan garage and they will do it all 4 ya its not as much hassle as ppl think its just abit pricey as its all programmed in by computer
 
not sure about n16, bearing in mind this was a few years ago lol
 
A slight aside, is it possible to re-program a key, having another one? I got given three keys with my Almera, but I was told one of them was never coded into the car. Is there a 'trick' like some cars to get the ECU/key to learn the codes?

Cheers.
 
My mums old N15 had to have several new keys cut (as she kept losing them!) I think it was 25 quid for the key to be cut and 80 quid for the programming, this was at a nissan dealer and a few years ago! And for the key only - as it didn't have remote locking
