Lost your 2002 Infiniti I35 Key Fob or need to program a new one? Don’t worry, programming your key fob for your 2002 Infiniti I35 can be a straightforward process you can accomplish right at home. This guide provides you with clear, easy-to-follow instructions to get your key fob working again, saving you time and potentially money compared to dealership programming.
Before you begin, ensure you have your new 2002 Infiniti I35 key fob and your vehicle is readily accessible. Let’s get started with the programming steps.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Program Your 2002 Infiniti I35 Key Fob
Follow these steps carefully to successfully program your 2002 Infiniti I35 key fob:
-
Vehicle Preparation: Begin by getting inside your 2002 Infiniti I35. It’s crucial to ensure all doors are closed and locked. Use the manual lock/unlock switch located on the driver’s side door to lock all doors. Important: Do not use an existing remote to lock the doors for this procedure.
-
Ignition Key Cycling: This step involves a specific sequence with your ignition key. Insert your key into the ignition switch and then remove it completely. Repeat this insert and remove action rapidly six times within a 10-second timeframe. Make sure each insertion and removal is a complete cycle, taking roughly one second per cycle. If performed correctly, your Infiniti I35’s hazard lights should flash, indicating the system has entered programming mode. If the hazard lights do not flash after six attempts, try the procedure again, this time inserting and removing the key 10 times.
-
Enter ACC Mode: Once the hazard lights have flashed, immediately re-insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the “ACC” (Accessory) position. This powers on some of the car’s electronics without starting the engine and prepares the system to receive the key fob programming signal.
-
Program the First Key Fob: Within 5 seconds of turning the key to the ACC position, take your new 2002 Infiniti I35 key fob and press the “lock” button once. If the programming is successful for this key fob, the hazard lights on your Infiniti I35 will flash again to confirm.

Programming Additional Key Fobs (Optional): If you have more than one key fob to program, including existing working remotes and any new ones, you can program them all in this step. If you only have one key fob to program, skip to step 6. To program additional remotes, first use the driver’s side door lock/unlock switch again. Press the switch to “UNLOCK” and then immediately back to “LOCK” the doors. Again, do not use a remote for this step. Within 5 seconds of locking the doors with the switch, take the next key fob you want to program and press the “lock” button on that remote once. The hazard lights will flash to confirm successful programming of that specific remote. Repeat this exact “UNLOCK then LOCK with door switch, then press lock button on remote” process for every additional 2002 Infiniti I35 key fob you need to program.
-
Exit Programming Mode and Final Steps: After you have programmed all desired key fobs, turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position and completely remove the key from the ignition. To finalize the process, use the driver’s side door lock/unlock switch one last time to “UNLOCK” all doors. Do not use a remote for this step.
-
Test Your Key Fobs: Now, test each of your programmed 2002 Infiniti I35 key fobs to ensure they are working correctly. Try locking and unlocking the doors, as well as any other functions your key fob may have, such as the trunk release or panic button, to confirm successful programming.
By following these instructions, you should be able to easily program your new 2002 Infiniti I35 key fob. This DIY method can save you from the expense of dealership programming and get you back to enjoying the convenience of your keyless entry system quickly. If you encounter any difficulties or prefer professional assistance, remember to search for a local key fob programming service in your area.
