I purchased a cheap keyless remote for my 05 SL AWD murano and I cannot get it to work. The instructions tell me to lock all the doors from the driver side. Then insert and remove the key up to six times until the hazards blink. Well, I tried that. Many times. I cannot get those hazards to blink. I have been thinking about it and I thought maybe it was because when I bought this car used a couple weeks ago, the dealer never gave me the real keyless remote. I looked through the manual and I see that I probably was given the "Spare". Do I need that chip in the key when I reinsert it into the ignition in order to program it? Any tips?
---I am very angry at my dealer. You would think I would receive the key. If i wasn't so tired from working all day and not getting out of the dealership until 9pm I would have thought about it! |

I am pretty sure at this point I have followed the instructions exactly. But no matter what I do I cannot get the hazards to blink to verify programming mode.
Does anyone know if I need the original key with the chip in it? This would save me alot of frustration and give me peace on the subject. |

Are you sure your timing it right when you insert and remove the key?
If you are using the key that starts your car then that key already has the chip in it.
It might help if you do it in the garage while its closed that way you can see if your hazards blink...
Also make sure that you remove the key COMPLETELY out of the ignition, then insert it, and repeat that 6x within 10 seconds. If you do it too fast it wont work.
Ive never done it on an 05, but I have done it on an 03.
Just in case your instructions are different from mines:
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. ( 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 keyless remote. Your Hazard Lamps should flash. ( 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 remotes (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 keyless remote (including any existing keyless remotes).
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. |

| Thanks for your help. However I am still unable to get the hazards to flash. I have had multiple friends try the instructions. One of them even has a murano 06 and it works in his car. I guess I am going to have to suck it up and spend the hundreds of dollars on a fricken keychain that they should have given me when I bought the car. |
