I acquired a used remote but I'm not sure if it works, when i bought my
car it didnt come with a remote but it has the factory alarm. I wasn't
able to program this remote i just got, and im not sure if the remote is
broken or if its the car. I followed the procedure to program it from
the maxima FAQ and im certain the car should have remote entry
capabilities because its fully loaded with the security and convenience
package (has homeline, lighted vanity, bose, etc)

If you have tha factory alarm (security light on the dash), you should
have keyless entry. Are you sure the remote is good? Maybe it needs a
battery?

I'm not sure the remote is good, i tried a new battery but it still
didn't work. i have a factory alarm, but i don't know the history of
the car. I'm assuming that it should have come with the keyless entry
because of all the options that it has (s&c homelink works, etc).
Unfortunately, when i bought the car, the nissan used dealer didn't give
me a remote with it, i only got 1 key and they made an extra copy for me
(doing a shitty job at that). So i'm trying to figure out what the
truth is without spending tons of $$$$. Nissan said programming a new
remote for the factory alarm will run me $174 bucks. Ridiculous.. I
have no way of figuring out how if this remote i bought is functional.
I'm trying to do some guesswork.

There are some web sites that will detail how to program the car for the
remote.

I have followed the steps acurately and it still didn't work which makes
me wonder if something is wrong with the car's receiver module. perhaps
the previous owner pulled it out . im afraid im gonna have to pay out my
a.s and take it to the dealer, or possibly try another remote, i found
some websites that sell OEM replacement remotes, i dont trust ebay, i
got screwed once.

You can look and see if the remote module is there and is plugged in.
