Experiencing issues with your 2008 Infiniti G35 key fob? It can be frustrating when your key fob suddenly stops working, leaving you unable to remotely lock, unlock, or even start your vehicle. Before you assume the worst or rush to an expensive dealership, you might be able to resolve the problem yourself with a simple key fob reprogramming procedure. This guide provides easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions to reprogram your 2008 Infiniti G35 key fob and potentially get you back on the road quickly.
Step-by-Step Guide to Reprogram Your 2008 Infiniti G35 Key Fob
Follow these instructions carefully to reprogram your key fob:
-
Vehicle Preparation: Begin by ensuring all doors of your 2008 Infiniti G35 are completely closed and, importantly, locked. This initial step is crucial for initiating the key fob programming sequence correctly.
-
Initiate Programming Mode with Ignition Cycling: Take your Infiniti G35 key and rapidly insert and remove it from the ignition key cylinder more than six times within a 10-second timeframe. It’s important to fully remove the key from the ignition cylinder each time for this step to register correctly. Watch closely for the hazard warning lamps to flash; this is your visual confirmation that the vehicle has entered the key fob programming mode.
Note: Do not rush this insertion and removal process. Accuracy is more important than speed. When this step is successfully completed, you should observe the side marker lights, tail lights, license plate lights, and interior lights flashing twice as a secondary confirmation.
-
Enter AAC Position to Program: Immediately insert the key back into the ignition cylinder and turn the ignition key switch to the “AAC” (Accessory) position. At this point, the system is ready to receive the new key fob ID code. Programming a new code will automatically erase any previously stored ID codes.
-
Program the New Key Fob ID: Press any button on the new remote controller (key fob) once. After pressing the button, observe the hazard warning lamps; they should flash to confirm that the signal from the key fob has been received and the programming is in progress.
Note: It is crucial to press the button on the key fob only one time during this step. Pressing the button more than once can disrupt the programming procedure and lead to failure. Successful programming is indicated by the side marker lights, tail lights, license plate lights, and interior lights flashing twice.
-
Programming Additional Key Fobs (Optional): If you need to program more than one key fob, skip this step if you only have one. For each additional key fob, release the door lock and then immediately lock the doors again using the power door lock/unlock switch located on the driver’s side door panel. Repeat step 4 for each additional key fob you need to program.
-
Finalize Programming: Remove the key from the ignition cylinder.
-
Complete the Process: Unlock the driver’s side door, open the driver’s side door, and then close the door. This final action signals the end of the key fob programming sequence.
Note: If you need to program more than two additional key fobs, simply repeat step 5 (“Additional ID code entry”) for each new remote controller. The system allows for a maximum of four ID codes to be entered. Any attempts to program more than four will be ignored.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully reprogram your 2008 Infiniti G35 key fob and regain full remote access to your vehicle. If you continue to experience issues, it may be necessary to consult a professional automotive technician for further diagnosis.
