1999 keyless entry programming

[lilmanmomma04]

I am looking to buy a keyless remote for my maxima and have been seeing on Ebay that people claim they can program the remote with specific instructions. Is this possible or am I going to have to take my car to the dealer to get the remote programmed? Or if this does work does anyone know how to program the remote so i do not have to pay extra on ebay to get the instructions?

Thank you very Much For your time....
Have a Blessed Night!

You can program it yourself i believe. It is fairly simple, ive done it before. Ill dig it up and post it for you!

Also before you purchase the remote off ebay, make sure the FCC ID and other numbers match first or it will not work!

These should work for ya:

you have to unlock the door with the switch after you press the button. Let me post the directions I used earlier today.

IMPORTANT: Before entering programming mode, have in possession all of the transmitters you will be using on the vehicle. Once you program the transmitter, all previous codes will be erased from the memory. The other transmitters will not be functional until you program the transmitters again.

1. Close and lock all doors with the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch.

2. Insert key into ignition and remove it from the ignition key cylinder at least six times within 10 seconds. Your Hazard Lamps will flash if you have performed this step successfully. NOTE: Withdraw key completely from ignition cylinder each time. If this procedure is performed too fast, system will not enter programming mode.

3. Insert key into the ignition cylinder and turn to the ACC position.

4. Within 5 seconds, push ANY button on the remote transmitter. Your Hazard Lamps should flash. NOTE: Do not press the button more than one time in the above step. If the button is pressed more than one time, the programming procedure will not be successful.

5. If there are any remaining transmitters (including the old ones), unlock then lock all doors using the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch and within 5 seconds, push ANY button on the next remote. Your Hazard Lamps should flash. Repeat this step for each transmitter (including any existing transmitters).

6. Turn the key to the OFF position, remove keys from the ignition, unlock doors using the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch and open the driver side door.
