For the Altima (new remote)

My wife managed to destory both remotes (for the alarm) for the altima and I had to get her a replacement. I purchased an OEM unit and had to follow the instruction (below) to "re-program" the car to the "new" remote. So I followed the instruction and it worked.


** 2000 Nissan Altima key program **


1. Close and lock all doors with the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch.

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).

6. Turn the key to the OFF position, remove keys from the ignition,
unlock doors using the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch and open
the driver side door.
