Lost your key fob or need a spare for your 2006 Nissan Murano? Replacing your key fob doesn’t have to be a hassle. This guide will walk you through the steps to program a new key fob for your 2006 Nissan Murano, potentially saving you a trip to the dealership.
Step-by-Step Programming Instructions
Before you begin, ensure you have your new key fob and are inside your 2006 Nissan Murano. Follow these instructions carefully for successful programming:
-
Lock All Doors: Using the power lock switch located on the driver’s side door, ensure all doors of your Nissan Murano are securely locked. Do not use your remote for this step.
-
Ignition Key Cycling: This step is crucial for initiating the programming sequence. Insert your key into the ignition switch and remove it rapidly six times within a ten-second timeframe. Make sure each insertion and removal is a complete cycle. If done correctly, your hazard lights should flash, indicating the system has entered programming mode. If the hazards don’t flash after six cycles, repeat the process up to ten times.
-
Enter ACC Mode: Insert the key back into the ignition and turn it to the “ACC” (Accessory) position. This is the position right before starting the engine.
-
Activate New Remote: Within five seconds of turning the key to ACC, press the “lock” button on your new key fob once. If the programming is successful, your hazard lights will flash again to confirm.
-
Programming Additional Remotes (Optional): If you have more remotes to program, including existing ones, you can program them now. First, use the driver’s side door lock/unlock switch to unlock and then lock the doors. Again, do not use any remote for this step. Within five seconds of locking the doors, press the “lock” button on the next remote you wish to program. The hazard lights will flash to confirm successful programming of each additional remote. Repeat this step for all remaining remotes.
-
Finalize Programming: Once you have programmed all desired remotes, turn the ignition to the “OFF” position and completely remove the key from the ignition switch. Use the power lock switch on the driver’s side door to unlock all doors. Do not use the remote at this stage.
-
Test Your Remotes: Thoroughly test each programmed remote to ensure they are working correctly. Check the lock, unlock, and panic buttons to confirm proper functionality.
