Sometimes the local locksmiths will do this service for less than 1/2
what the d'ship charges.  s

Wow.  Is it one of those fancy keys with a built-in remote,
or just a regular 'ol remote keyless entry?

The owner's manual for my 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX actually
comes with remote programming instructions.  It's actually
less complex than some of the sequences I've heard of.
Just as an example:

1) Unlock with working transmitter (if alarm installed) or
just unlock the door (if not).

2) Open and close the driver side door.

3) Cycle the key (from LOCK to ON and back) in the ignition
10 times within 15 seconds, and leave the key in the LOCK
position.  The horn will sound once to indicate entering
the programming mode.

4) Open and close the driver's side door.

5) Press any button on the new transmitter.  The horn will
sound twice to indicate successful programming.

Your instructions may be in the factory service manual.  It's
likely some sort of sequence such as the one for my car.
BTW - it's not really programming the remote, which has a
fixed, unique ID code.  You're programming the car's keyless
entry system to accept a new the ID code from the new remote.

That's just the beginning.......

If the automotive aftermarket industry is not successful in getting
"right-to-repair" legislation passed, the ONLY shop that will be able to
work on you vehicle will be the OEM dealer, because he will be the ONLY one
with the proprietary information and tools to perform repairs.

If the legislation does NOT pass, you can bet that the manufacturers will
come up with ways of requiring special, patented, tools for such mundane
things as oil changes.

You - and your local independent repair shop - will NOT be able to buy
these patented tools because the manufacturer will not release the patents
to aftermarket tool makers such as Snap-On, Mac, Matco, etc.

There are, at this time, certain automotive systems that require a car
owner to return to the dealer because diagnostic tools and technical repair
information are not available outside the dealership.

From another board, hopefully it wasn't one of the eBay electronic fobs you
bought.  Someone posted they bought an eBay one and the dealer never could
get the thing to program.  Unfortunately for the customer, they also billed
him for the time spent wasted trying to get the eBay unit to work - which it
never did.

Had he bought the more expensive fob from the dealer, it would have been
cheaper in the long run.  If the dealer's fob was defective, the dealer
could return it for another.  But with eBay....

Caveat emptor (let the buyer beware).

It's a free service here, as is changing the batteries, etc.

Money talks:  Call the mfg support line.  Complain.  Let them
know what brand your next car will NOT be.

Is there a nearby Nissan dealer you can go to?
A G-35 is an expensive car.  Nothing about it is cheap.
You will pay top dollar for everything.
