Losing or damaging your Infiniti key fob can be a frustrating experience. Fortunately, programming a new key fob for your Infiniti vehicle can often be done at home without a trip to the dealership. This guide provides a straightforward, step-by-step process to program your Infiniti key fob, allowing you to regain access and control of your vehicle quickly.
Step-by-Step Guide to Program Your Infiniti Key Fob
Follow these instructions carefully to successfully program your Infiniti key fob.
Step 1: Prepare Your Infiniti for Programming
Begin by ensuring all doors of your Infiniti are closed and locked. This is a crucial first step to initiate the programming sequence correctly.
Step 2: Initiate the Programming Sequence
This step involves using your Infiniti key in the ignition. Insert and remove your key from the ignition cylinder more than six times within a 10-second timeframe. It’s important to fully remove the key each time and maintain a consistent rhythm. If successful, your hazard warning lamps will flash, and your side marker, tail, license plate lamps, and interior lights will flash twice, indicating the system has entered programming mode. Note: Avoid rushing this step; accuracy is key.
Step 3: Enter the New Key Fob ID
Once the hazard lights flash, 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, and any previously programmed IDs will be erased for security.
Step 4: Program Your Infiniti Key Fob
Take your new Infiniti key fob and press any button on it once. After pressing the button, the hazard warning lamps should flash again, confirming successful programming of this key fob. The side marker, tail, license plate lamps, and interior lights will flash twice to further confirm successful programming. Note: Press the button only once. Multiple presses may disrupt the programming process.
Step 5: Programming Additional Key Fobs (Optional)
If you have more than one key fob to program, you can program up to four. To program additional key fobs, without turning off the ignition, release the door lock and then lock it again using the power door lock/unlock switch typically located on the driver’s side door panel. Repeat step 4 for each additional key fob you wish to program.
Step 6: Final Steps and Verification
After programming all desired key fobs, remove the key from the ignition. Unlock the driver’s side door, open it, and then close it. This sequence concludes the programming procedure. Test each key fob to ensure they successfully lock and unlock your doors and operate other remote functions.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully program your Infiniti key fob and regain full remote access to your vehicle. If you encounter any issues, double-check each step and ensure timing and actions are performed precisely as described. If problems persist, consulting a professional locksmith or Infiniti dealership may be necessary.
