2. Insert key into ignition and remove it from the ignition key cylinder at least six times within 10 seconds. Your Hazard Lamps will flash if you have performed this step successfully. NOTE: Withdraw key completely from ignition cylinder each time. If this procedure is performed too fast, system will not enter programming mode.
3. Insert key into the ignition cylinder and turn to the ACC position.
4. Within 5 seconds, push ANY button on the remote transmitter. Your Hazard Lamps should flash. NOTE: Do not press the button more than one time in the above step. If the button is pressed more than one time, the programming procedure will not be successful.
5. If there are any remaining transmitters (including the old ones), unlock then lock all doors using the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch and within 5 seconds, push ANY button on the next remote. Your Hazard Lamps should flash. Repeat this step for each transmitter (including any existing transmitters). *IF YOU ONLY HAVE ONE REMOTE, skip this step*

Took 30 secs and $12 and I have two new remotes. Wish I could like this twice. Thanks!
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Got mine too program in less than 2 minutes dealer wanted 150 just to do 2 minutes of work lol
Seriously so happy I found this. I was about to pay $150 for one replacement key fob. Decided to take a chance and order the fobs on Amazon after seeing this video...just programmed the fobs. So easy! Thanks for uploading this information 👍😁
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
This is another reason that I love UA-cam. I had to reprogram my second key fob after getting my ECU replaced in my XTerra. We already know the dealer would ask for at least a couple of hundred to do this. Worked perfectly. Thank you for what you do!
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Phenomenal info and presentation. Spoke clearly, spoke slowly and saved me $300. The Nissan dealership should be ashamed by their quote
I can't get my frontier to go in to program mode. 😫
Thanks! Glad it helped
Are you sure your frontier has the factory remote option installed?
@@kurt429 close the door
@@DieselDaddy82 yea but 300 bucks for 5 minutes of work ?👎🏾😩
Well done…and I appreciate that I didn’t have to listen to a seven minute presentation on the history of key fobs first!
Thanks!
This video just keeps on giving. $8 remote from Amazon, 3 minutes with this video, and I have programmed fob. Thanks!
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Thank you so much for posting this! One of our fobs wouldn't work- I changed the battery and it still wouldn't work. My husband wanted to chuck the keyfob in the garbage! I said no let's check youtube first. We gave your video a shot and it worked! Thank you again!
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Good to know.... going through this right now so atleast now I know this is something I'm going to try
A well-made video with no fluff or BS. Good stuff!
Thanks!
I just programmed my 2019 Nissan Frontier and these steps worked great with one exception. When I first hit the key fob button it didn't work until I pressed and HELD the key fob button.
well done. got to the point, spoke plainly at a steady pace, went through the steps, tested, signed off. complete and concise. this is how it should always be done.
Thanks! Glad it helped
took me about 15 seconds and $15 on my 2016 frontier now working great 👍 thanks man
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
2010 Xterra. 2 fobs, $25 Canadian. Took me longer to go down to the parking lot than it did to program the fob. Great video!
Thanks man
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Followed a number of videos on this topic without success with my 2016 Nissan Frontier truck. The way you describe finally worked!! Thanks for posting your video!!
Glad it helped!
Dang, judging by the comments it seems like its expensive to get a replacement fob from Nissan themselves. Good thing I went to amazon for the fobs. Awesome and easy to follow vid btw, worked like a charm. 👌🏽
I was about to pay. $50 for each remote at the swat meet but thanks to this video it helped me save money. Thanks!!! Remotes I bought them for amazon 22.00 w shipping
Nice!
Wow - just purchased a used Frontier with one of the fobs inoperative even after battery change. So, tried this thinking why not, maybe old fob somehow was reprogrammed. Sure enough, the process worked exactly as described and I saved $150+ vs. new fob and programming. Thanks so much!
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Thanks, just watch this video to program a old 2010 murano key fab to my 2015 frontier because the unlocked button stopped working!! Saved me money and time!!
yayyy 🥳 it made me smile so much once my new key fob worked, it’s so easy that makes me wonder why haven’t I done it few years ago. Great video, thank you 🙏
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Worked like a charm! Programmed 2 new remotes. Thank you so much for this video!!
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Just followed your instructions, very simple steps, very easy to follow your explanation, I programmed 3 Remotes at once, all working good, thanks for this video.
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Thank You very much for the video.
I got 2 new key fobs for $26 on Aliexpress and program them all by myself with your video. (Car:Nissan Pathfinder 2000)
You're welcome!
Thanks to you I was able to program three separate remotes! I appreciate you taking the time to post this helpful video... Best Regards 👌
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much!!!
The step by step with no long drawn out explanation or dumb jokes , man I really appreciate this !! It worked so effortlessly!
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Just got my 2003 Nissan Frontier back from the garage and they didn't reprogram it after replacing the battery. This Video explained it perfectly! Thank you.
You're Welcome!
does yours have unlock buttons inside the truck or do they not if they don't do these work i really wanna know i've been trying to get one of these for a while
Worked like a charm on my Mom’s 2015 Nissan Frontier. Easy and quick, thank you so much!!
You're welcome!
Question, did you buy new key fobs? If yes, where?
Great video and it worked on the first try. Did 2 remotes in less than 2 minutes. Great job! Thank you so very much!
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
I just programmed 2 key-fobs. Your instructions were on point. Thank you!!
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Damn thank you my man me and my dad tried this u saved me so much money I called the Nissan place they told me $380 bucks to buy a new one and program it the car that I wreck was a 2014 Nissan Frontier and I actually bought the 2016 Frontier yesterday and I happened to keep my keyless entry and this worked thank you again
Glad it helped!
I’m very happy because my truck has been in and out of the dealership at Sheehee Nissan of Maryland. They literally destroyed my brand new truck I have 27,900 and some miles. I still have the all original tires everything original a person hit my truck and I found out that my brakes had no measurements on them. They sit and was wiping my computer board so much that they deleted both of my key fobs from working so I went on there today and figure it out because I knew that they can be reprogrammed one anytime there’s been work done to the computer mainframe.😮 one thing I was taught reading prints for building maintenance of plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning so I figured you know I can program and understand and comprehend this man very well, and I would just like to say thanks because it just save me $180
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Worked great for a 2018. It took me a second listen to get all the steps.😄
Glad it helped!
Just did my 2 Amazon FOBS for $12 bucks. Worked Great per your block of instruction!!! Thanks
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Fob stopped working. Battery was fine. Did this and it came back to life. Well played that man.
Glad it helped
Thank you, took less than 10 minutes😊 probably saved 200 dollars
You're welcome! Glad it helped
Thank you for an informative and concise explanation. Bought a couple of replacement FOBs online but their programming instructions were terrible. Your video insured our animal rescue vehicle was back on the road (a puppy chewed apart our original FOB) and now we're good to go.
Glad it helped!
Thank you thank you thank you. Your video saved the day. My remote wouldn't work after I replaced the battery. Reprogramming the remote did the trick
You're welcome!
And it definitely works long as you follow the amazing tutorial given in the video. Great explanations could 100% do it on mute if watched video close enough or with just volume and no video.
Glad it helped!
You just saved me $150+ dollars 💰. THANK YOU 🙏
You're Welcome!
Best instructional. Had my recently purchased 2015 Frontier get some new key fobs.
Nice!
Excellent video , simple and to the point.
I have an 04 Maxima , and needed a new key/fob
I followed the instructions that came with fob
word for word in addition to your (more comprehensive) steps , but did not work for me.
So I sent it back and I will continue just using my old one that does work . maybe I just bought a lemon , I don't know. But thanks again for your video.
thanks!! it really helped me,just replaced the battery and for some reason got disconnected, but thanks to this video i was able to reprogram.
You're Welcome!
I thought I heard you say "welcome to programming your mom" 😂😂😂 yes my mom is a 2015 frontier lol
Nice efficient, well done video that worked perfectly on my 2013 Frontier. Thanks for sharing this awesome tip.
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
thank you so much for the quick and easy guide! really helped me out a lot!!
You're Welcome!
Thanks for the video. Two troubles I had: 1) enter the key at a rate near once per second, not too fast. In 7 inserts, it worked. Going really fast didn’t work, ever. 2) My fob had a bad Unlock switch on the circuit board. When only the Lock button would program, I opened the fob and noticed the tiny button on the circuit board did not click.
Thx Lee for your extra info! The key to success is NOT TOO FAST, just like you described. BTW, dealers are still charging (April 2022) ~150-230 to do this. Greedy.
Thanks so much for this video. Now kiddo doesn't have to steal my keys! ❤
You're welcome!
You just saved me $80. Thank you so much!!
You're Welcome!
Worked on my 2005 Infiniti G35 Sedan. Same style fob on the video as well. Bought it from ebay for 30CAD shipped. It was the cheaper option and it came with spare keys. Only thing missing on the fob was the trunk key.
How do you unprogram the fob? Somehow unlocks both of my nissans.
Worked GREAT! Thanks for the info, got 2 fobs from Amazon & your video worked perfectly 👍🏻
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Awesome, thanks for the tip worked like a charm after replacing car battery as well as remote battery.
Glad it helped!
Thank you! Just got my 2 new fobs programmed in seconds.
You're Welcome!
Great video. Easy to follow and worked first time for two remotes!
Thanks! Glad it helped
Great video! It worked for my 2003 Nissan Pathfinder. Had to do the key thing a few times but after like trying for 7 times it worked (thank god) haha.

The best way to teach us God protect you and your family
Tried two other videos that didn’t work - this one had the specifics about having to insert and remove the key within 10 seconds and also having to lock and unlock the door. Worked a treat with two new key fobs on xtrail 2003
Great!
Muchas gracias!! Acabo de programar dos beeper para Nissan Frontier 2005 sin problema.
This video works as advertised. Reprogramed 2019 frontier pro 4x
Really great video. Clear and concise. Worked perfectly for my 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. Thank you!
You're Welcome! Glad it helped!
2006 frontier, auto repair place unlock the truck. Left the door open without starting the engine within two minutes. Now the red light with the key in the center of it is on. Tried your method when I first tried to get the flashers to come with the first step they did not.
Thanks for the information! This worked great and I’m all set on my “new” 2004 Frontier.
You're welcome! Glad it helped
You had made it so easiest to understand , thank you sir😊
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
wooo nice!! I'm. about to program a fob 😅😂😂 wish me luck 🤞 still learning all the locksmith tips and tricks
Good Luck!
This was great info!! Like someone else said, the dealership should be ashamed for their quote!!
Question though:
Is there a way to program the fob and use it to roll the windows down from the outside of the vehicle?
not that I know of but there could be I suppose
I have a work vehicle a 2018 Vr200. I tried a couple different videos I seen including this one. I cannot get the hazards to flash at all. You have any tips?
Worked like a charm once I picked the speed up...he's not kidding about10 seconds max, lol
Yeah lol most people tend to go to slow
Worked perfectly with my 2018 Frontier.
Can't thank you enough. Subscribed of course!
Thank You!
Great man worked great
Glad it helped!
You’re simply awesome Dude. Simple , straightforward and presto!!!!!
Thank You!
this worked perfectly on my 2017 frontier with fobs from Amazon.
Nice!
Well done. Other instructions said just six insertions and nothing worked. This video explained things well. Thanks
Thanks! Glad it helped
Hello. I followed the steps, but when I insert key the alarm goes off. Do I have to do an additional step? Thank u
Worked my 2014 versa note sv, thank you so much
You're Welcome!
Does this work with scion xB 2008??? Or just Nissan I have the same lock unlock fob
I had to turn the ignition to position 2 in order to get the hazard lights to blink when hitting any button on the key fob.
Thank you for saving me a trip to the Nissian Stealership
You're Welcome!
2005 Pathfinder - Worked perfect. Thanks!
You're Welcome!
I was trying to do that, but i push the button before turn the Key to start the vehicle. Result: deprogrammed the original FOB remote. I try again but It doesnt work. Please help me.
Me too I need help !!
@@Tx.0rt1z Did u try turn off the battery? To unmemory the key. Sorry by my english. I dont know how to speak very well.
@@SitioProsperus i havent but i will do that thank you I will have you updated !!!
@@SitioProsperus it did work thank you!!! It ended up having them programmed and I just needed to unplug my battery
@@Tx.0rt1z thank God
How would I program the remote if the driver side won't lock when pressing the lock button?
Not sure on that
Works in 2004 pathfinder se. make sure you follow every step in the video
Do you have to have an ignition key cut for this to work? I have the turn knob start and my car starts with just the fob inside the vehicle.
yes - this will not work on push button start vehicles
Video is great, issue I have with my 2004 Nissan Tiida, when I do this it unlocks my doors instead of indicating the hazards? Can't program my remote to it, any help?
Unfortunately I do not have programming information on vehicles built for use outside of the U.S. market
Perfect video. Just finished programming two of them!
Nice! Glad it helped
Thank you. Great video and tutorial. Saved me a headache 😅
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Thank you so much I just did mine right in My 2008 Pathfinder and it works now your video is very helpful.
You're welcome! Glad it helped
I have an aftermarket alarm installed on my Nissan Frontier. Do you know if it is possible to buy a replacement remote from Amazon and program it to my afternarket alarm system?
not sure on that
Worked like a charm, thanks!!
2007 Nissan Frontier
You're welcome!
Did not work with 2019 Frontier. Hazard lights would never flash. Help!
Me too
Hi, I have a 2019 Nissan Frontier. It came with one fop but I found another one that went to my 2014 Nissan Frontier.
I hit the lock button and inserted the key 10-20 times with No Luck getting the flashers.
I noticed on your video there was no alarm when putting the key in and out.
Am I doing something wrong???
Does it work for a 2008 frontier se base model that you have to unlock it manually?
No - If you do not have power locks then you cannot have the factory remote option
Is there a way to program the remote to open all doors with a single press of the unlock button?
Not sure but I don't think so
Worked perfectly thank you for this video! 🙏🙏🙏
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Worked on my 2021 Nissan work van also thank you so much
You're welcome!
Worked on my 2004 frontier, thanks
You're welcome!
So my 2004 nissan has power locking doors but they don't work unless the key is in. It use to have a key fob. Any ideas why it won't lock without the key in?
not sure on that, sorry
My 2014 Nissan Frontier has an aftermarket remote start. Any help in programming the fob for the remote start? The fob works fine for locking and unlocking - thanks for the great, clear directions.
I don't really have any programming information on aftermarket systems. If you can the FCC ID off of your remote start remote, I would recommend searching by that for programming information.
Can it be any type of key fob? Like a different design style?
no - it needs to be the correct fob for the vehicle
