Lost your key fob or need to program a new one for your 2005 Infiniti G35? Don’t worry, you can easily program a new key fob yourself without a trip to the dealership. This guide provides simple, step-by-step instructions to get your keyless entry working again in no time. Follow these directions carefully to successfully program your 2005 G35 Key Fob.
Before you begin, ensure you have your new, compatible key fob for your 2005 Infiniti G35. This process will erase all previous key fob programming, so be sure to program all key fobs you intend to use at the same time, up to a maximum of four.
Here’s how to reprogram your 2005 G35 key fob:
Step 1: Prepare Your Vehicle
Begin by ensuring all doors of your 2005 Infiniti G35 are completely closed and locked. This is a crucial first step to initiate the programming sequence. Make sure all doors are firmly shut to avoid any interruption during the process.
Step 2: Enter Programming Mode
This step requires precise timing. Insert your key into the ignition cylinder and remove it rapidly more than six times within a 10-second period. It’s important to fully remove the key from the ignition cylinder each time. You will know you’ve successfully entered programming mode when the hazard warning lamps flash.

Note: It’s important to maintain a consistent rhythm during the key insertion and removal process. Avoid rushing, but also ensure you complete the cycle within the 10-second timeframe. Successfully completing this step will also be indicated by the side marker, tail, and license plate lamps, along with the interior illumination, flashing twice.
Step 3: Program the First Key Fob
Once the hazard lights flash, immediately insert the key back into the ignition cylinder and turn the ignition switch to the “AAC” (Accessory) position. At this point, the system is ready to learn the new key fob ID code, and any previously programmed codes will be erased.
Now, take your new 2005 G35 key fob and press any button on it once. After pressing the button, the hazard warning lamps should flash again to confirm successful programming of this key fob.
Important: Press the key fob button only one time during this step. Pressing it multiple times can disrupt the programming sequence and lead to failure. Successful programming at this stage will again be confirmed by two flashes of the side marker, tail, license plate lamps, and interior lights.
Step 4: Program Additional Key Fobs (Optional)
If you need to program more than one key fob, you can program up to four in total. To program additional key fobs, first release the door lock and then lock it again using the power door lock/unlock switch located on the main power window switch panel. After performing this lock/unlock cycle, immediately press any button on the next key fob you wish to program. Repeat this process for each additional key fob.
Step 5: Final Steps
After you have programmed all desired key fobs (up to four), remove the key from the ignition. To finalize the programming, unlock the driver’s side door, open the driver’s side door, and then close it. This completes the key fob programming procedure for your 2005 Infiniti G35.

Note: If you need to program more than two key fobs, simply repeat Step 5 (“Additional ID code entry”) for each additional remote. Remember, the system allows for a maximum of four ID codes. Any attempts to program more than four will be ignored by the system.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully reprogram your 2005 Infiniti G35 key fob and regain keyless entry functionality. If you encounter any issues, double-check each step and ensure you are following the timing and button presses precisely.
