2018 Murano Key Fob Replacement Sucess

Was it stolen from your home or did you have your car with you on vacation and it was stolen?

Only asking because I might be concerned if someone local now has easy access to the car, or if at a motel or whatnot, an employee might have your info and can forward the fob to someone else who might go to your home and try to steal your car.

I'm guessing changing the frequency to render the old fobs useless is difficult.

I always like to share success stories when it comes to my Murano.

Recently one of my two key fobs was stolen while I was on vacation. I ordered a new one from my Nissan dealership. Four months of being on backorder and according to Nissan no idea when they will receive it, I looked for other options. I have read many horror stories about buying key fobs only to find out they won't program or some just are the shell of the fob with no circuit board inside. I weighed my options, if I lose the only fob I have it will cost me way more than buying a fob online and it not working.

Did hours of research and found a website OEM Car Key Mall, all one word with a .com. You can search for the key fob you need and it gives you the fcc # plus some other numbers that you can compare to your original fob. They guarantee it to program or you can send it back, got 4.9 stars on Google reviews. So I gave them a try. I bought it for $55 plus I expedited shipping for $8.50. Fob arrived when promised, took it to dealership and they programmed it no problem plus they cut the hard key stored inside the fob. The cost from the dealership for this was $77.50. So all in it was $141 compared to the $315 Nissan quoted me. The guy at the dealership was impressed saying only about 30% of key fobs bought online are able to be programmed, he asked where I got it.

Hope this information helps you out as it did me.
