Losing or damaging your key fob can be a major inconvenience. If you own a 2007 Nissan Murano and find yourself needing a replacement key fob, you’re in the right place. This guide provides you with step-by-step instructions to program a new key fob for your vehicle, potentially saving you time and money compared to dealership programming. Whether you purchased a new remote online or are trying to reprogram an existing one, follow these instructions carefully to get back on the road quickly.
Step-by-Step Programming Instructions for Your 2007 Nissan Murano Key Fob
Before you begin, it’s important to determine the type of key system your 2007 Nissan Murano has. If your vehicle uses a silver “smart key” (push-button start), the programming process is different and typically requires a dealership or qualified locksmith. However, if your Murano uses a standard key that you insert and turn in the ignition, you can likely program the key fob yourself using the following method.
Let’s get started:
-
Vehicle Preparation is Key: Begin by getting inside your 2007 Nissan Murano. Ensure all doors are completely closed. Once inside, use the power lock/unlock switch located on the driver’s side door panel to manually lock all the doors. It’s crucial to use the door switch and not your existing remote for this step.
-
Ignition Key Cycling: This step involves a specific sequence of key insertions and removals in the ignition. Take your Nissan Murano key and insert it into the ignition switch. Immediately remove the key. Repeat this insert and remove process a total of six times within a 10-second timeframe. It’s important to fully insert and remove the key each time, maintaining a relatively quick pace of approximately one cycle per second. If you perform this step correctly, your hazard lamps should flash, indicating that the vehicle has entered programming mode. If the hazard lamps do not flash after six attempts, try the procedure again, this time performing the insert and remove process ten times instead of six.
-
Enter ACC Mode: Now, insert the key back into the ignition switch and turn it to the ACC (Accessory) position. This is the position just before starting the engine, where the car’s electrical accessories are powered on.
-
Initiate Remote Programming: Within 5 seconds of turning the ignition to the ACC position, take your new key fob remote and press the lock button once. If the programming signal is received successfully, your hazard lamps should flash again, confirming that the new remote has been recognized and programmed to your 2007 Nissan Murano.
-
Programming Additional Remotes (Optional): If you have additional remotes to program, including both new and any existing working remotes, you’ll need to follow this step. If you only have one remote to program, skip to step 6. First, use the power lock/unlock switch on the driver’s side door to UNLOCK, then immediately LOCK the doors (again, using the door switch, not the remote). Within 5 seconds of locking the doors, take the next remote you wish to program and press the lock button once. Your hazard lamps should flash to confirm the programming of this additional remote. Repeat this same process for every remaining remote you need to program.
-
Finalizing Programming: Once you have programmed all desired key fobs, it’s time to exit programming mode. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and completely remove the key from the ignition. Then, use the power lock/unlock switch on the driver’s side door to UNLOCK all doors (again, using the door switch, not the remote).
-
Testing Your Remotes: The final step is to test each of your newly programmed remotes to ensure they are working correctly. Press the lock and unlock buttons on each remote to verify that they properly control the door locks of your 2007 Nissan Murano.
By following these instructions, you should be able to successfully program a new key fob for your 2007 Nissan Murano.
