How to Program a Nissan Sentra Fob

The Nissan Sentra offers a variety of standard options and features that are installed on every model of the vehicle by the dealership or manufacturer. One such option is the keyless entry remote system, which features a transmitter and multiple keyless remotes, or key FOBs. You can program these remotes yourself with no professional experience or equipment and have the system ready to use from your driver's seat in just minutes.

  • Enter your Nissan and close all of the doors behind you, then lock the car using the lock tab on the driver's side door.

  • Insert and remove the ignition key from your ignition six times in ten seconds and wait for the car's tail lamps to flash once.

  • Insert the key again and turn it to the "Acc" position.

  • Press "Lock" on your keyless remote, wait for the tail lights to flash again and then unlock and lock the doors with the switch on your door again.

  • Press "Lock" on any additional remotes and turn the ignition to the "Off" position to end the programming sequence.
