Lost your Infiniti key fob or need to program a replacement? You can easily program your Infiniti key fob yourself without a trip to the dealership. This guide provides simple, step-by-step instructions to program your Infiniti key fob for models such as QX4, Q45, I30, I35, G20, FX, G35, M45 and most Nissan vehicles.
Step-by-Step Guide to Program Your Infiniti Key Fob
Follow these steps carefully to successfully program your Infiniti key fob:
Step 1: Prepare Your Infiniti for Programming
- Ensure all doors are closed and locked. This is crucial for initiating the programming sequence.
Step 2: Enter Programming Mode
- Insert and remove your key from the ignition key cylinder rapidly, more than six times within a 10-second timeframe. Make sure to fully withdraw the key each time.
- Note: It’s important to perform this step at a moderate pace. Avoid rushing the key insertion and removal.
- Confirmation: If this step is done correctly, your hazard warning lamps will flash, and the side marker, tail, license plate lamps, and interior lights will flash twice. This visual cue confirms you’ve successfully entered programming mode.
Step 3: Initiate Key Fob Programming
- 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 learn the new key fob ID, and any previously programmed IDs will be erased.
Step 4: Program Your New Key Fob
- Press any button on the new remote controller once.
- Note: Press the button only once. Pressing it multiple times may disrupt the programming process.
- Confirmation: The hazard warning lamps will flash again to confirm the signal from the new remote. Additionally, the side marker, tail, license plate lamps, and interior lights will flash twice, indicating successful programming.
Step 5: Program Additional Key Fobs (Optional)
- If you have more than one key fob to program, unlock the door and then lock it again using the power door lock/unlock switch located on the main power window switch panel.
- Repeat Step 4 for each additional key fob you need to program. You can program up to four key fobs in total. Attempts to program more than four will be ignored.
Step 6: Finalize Programming
- Remove the key from the ignition.
- Unlock the driver’s side door, open the driver’s side door, and then close it. This completes the Infiniti key fob programming procedure.
Now you should have successfully programmed your Infiniti key fob. Test all the buttons on your remote to ensure they are functioning correctly. If you encounter any issues, carefully re-read the steps and try again.
