What does your local dealer charge for Nissan keyless entry remotes?

My Nissan dealer wants $149 a piece plus $35 for programming for each of my cars (05 Frontier, 03 Altima).

I'm curious to see what other dealerships are charging for new remotes and programming.

I'm done with ebay because the listings show new remotes, and 3 out of 3 times I've won - I end up with junk that doesn't work and won't program. First one was superglued together and cracked. Can't check the battery if you can't even open it. Second one was completely corroded inside from water and didn't work. The 3rd one only 1 button worked and it looked like someone tried to superglue the circuit board pieces back together. Each one was advertised as new, or like new and they obviously weren't anywhere close to that.

The Keyles Ride site is run by one of those same lying ebay sellers, so thats off the list too.

What does your local dealership charge? I bet there's some that want even more than what mine is charging.

actually I went to a local alarm shop here in NY which charged me $70.00 each, and nissan had priced $90.00, hope that helps.

 

[05Frontier]

Was that price for the factory remotes, or aftermarket?

 

[gfronty05]

that was the factory remotes.

Well $70 is 1/2 the dealer price...do you have any contact info for the shop?

remote programming.

I have the factory sevice manual for the 2005 frontier and it has the programming instructions in it. I can't believe that a dealer would charge so much that is rediculous. Well I guess I paid like $900 for my manual with a discount from nissan so dealership stuff is very expensive. So I will give them to ths site to help out all the frontier enthusiast's. Here is how it goes word for word. Hope this will save you a bunch of money.

Ahh...I found another source before I got to read the forums today.

I found another site online that I'm willing to give a shot - www.ThePartsYouNeed.com

The other "key less ride" site also wants about $70 a piece with shipping for the 05 Frontier remote.

They're less than 1/2 that price on ThePartsYouNeed site with the instructions included. I ordered 1 this morning.

I'll keep you guys posted. If it works good, I'm going to order one for my 03 Altima as well.

I got my remote from ThePartsYouNeed.com in the mail a few weeks ago. (Forgot to update this)

Programming was easy, took about 10 seconds. I can't believe a dealership would charge 1/2 hour of labor for a 10 second job. Thats a good way to lose customers.

Anyhow, the remote works great and when I went to put in an order for remote for the Altima I noticed I got free shipping, so I bought a 2nd remote for the Frontier and a pair for the Altima. FINALLY I will have remotes that work and that I can use.

ThePartsYouNeed.com rocks!
