Nissan Car reprogramming to eliminate the beep function of distance?
Hello, Nissan Altima GXE 2000, a private car. The Remote Control of this car is not working properly. The "LOCK / ALARM" switch is operated and causing the car to beep at random. This could be because the "Lock / Alarm" switch is pressed almost by mistake (former owner / other person) I have changed the battery to see if it works … but my car still sounds. I have the intention to reprogram my car. Can anyone suggest if this is good and if possible how to install it or some links to get directions. Thanks in advance, Srinivas
Friend had the same problem, I had to take it to Nissan to re-key and alarm unit. And do not tell you how. Found www.keylessentry.com complete help.
