Key Fob Question

Hello everyone. I just bought a 2006 FX 35 and I need a new key fob for the vehicle I only have the valet key and the key fob that came with the vehicle does not work. I have seen them on ebay for like $50. Can I just buy one of these then take it to the dealer to be programmed? or does the FCC Id have to match the key fob I have. What are my options?

Thanks
 
I believe the FCC id does need to match on both key fobs and then the dealer can reprogram both. I suggest taking the key fob that you have to dealer to have them reprogram it and then it should work. Why didn't the dealer do that for you when you got the FX?
 
To reprogram (enter new ID) key fob (keyless remote controller) follow the steps.

1. Close all doors and lock all doors

2. Insert and remove the key from the ignition key cylinder more than six times within 10 seconds.
(The hazard warning lamp will then flash.)
NOTE:
Key should be withdrawn from ignition key cylinder completely each time.

NOTE:
Do not rush the insertion/removal key cycling process. The side
marker/tail/license lamps and interior illumination will flash twice when this step is
accurately completed.

3. Insert key on ignition key cylinder and turn ignition key switch to "AAC" position
At this time, the new ID code is entered and original (previous) ID codes are erase.

4. Press any button on the new remote controller once. (The hazard warning lamp will then 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.
The side marker/tail/license lamps and interior illumination will flash twice when this
step is accurately completed and programming is successful.

If there is only one remote controller skip step 5.

5. Additional ID code entry
Release the door lock, then lock again with door lock/unlock switch
(In power window main switch)

6. Remove key from ignition

7. Unlock driver side door, open driver side door and then close the door. (END)

NOTE:
If you need to activate more than two additional new remote controllers, repeat
the procedure on step 5 "Additional ID code entry" for each new remote controller.

NOTE:
Entry of maximum four ID codes is allowed and any attempt to enter more will be ignore.

BTW, congrats on your FX purchase!

thanks for the reply guys. so the fcc id must match then i can use the steps to program? is this what the dealership chatges 120 bucks for?
 
I'm guessing you did not buy this FX from an infiniti dealer. I would go to where you purchased the FX and see if they will pay infiniti to program the keys since they only provided you with one and not two fobs.

I personally have never tried programming the fobs using the method above but I remembered reading the steps over at infinitihelp.com
