What Is the APDTY 134080 Keyless Entry Remote Key Fob?
The APDTY 134080 is a complete replacement keyless entry remote and integrated key blade designed for Nissan and Infiniti vehicles equipped from the factory with a 4-button smart key system. Unlike aftermarket "universal" fobs, this unit is built to OE specifications and includes the correct frequency transmitter, button layout (lock, unlock, trunk, panic), and mechanical key blade to match your vehicle's original equipment.
Because modern vehicle immobilizer systems require cryptographic pairing between the remote's transponder chip and the car's body control module (BCM) or intelligent key control unit, professional programming by a dealership or automotive locksmith is mandatory. The remote will not function until it is programmed to your specific vehicle identification number (VIN).
Which Vehicles Are Compatible with APDTY 134080?
This remote key fob fits the following Nissan and Infiniti models, provided your vehicle originally came with a 4-button keyless entry remote:
| Make | Model | Years |
|---|---|---|
| Infiniti | G25 | 2011–2012 |
| Infiniti | G35 | 2007–2008 |
| Infiniti | G37 | 2008–2013 |
| Infiniti | Q40 | 2015 |
| Infiniti | Q60 | 2014–2015 |
| Nissan | Altima | 2007–2013 |
| Nissan | GT-R | 2009–2016 |
| Nissan | Maxima | 2009–2015 |
| Nissan | Murano | 2009–2014 |
Important: Not all trim levels within these model years came with smart keyless entry. Verify your vehicle was originally equipped with a 4-button remote before ordering. Base trims or fleet vehicles may have used a different key system. If you are uncertain, check your owner's manual or consult the live compatibility chart on the APDTY product page.

- 285E3-JA05A
- 285E3JA05A
- 285E3-JA02A

Cross-reference your existing key fob's part number (often printed on the back of the remote or in your service records) to confirm compatibility.
What Are the Symptoms of a Failing Key Fob?
Common signs that your keyless entry remote needs replacement include:
- Intermittent or no response when pressing lock, unlock, trunk, or panic buttons, even with a fresh battery
- Reduced operating range—you must be much closer to the vehicle than normal for the fob to work
- Physical damage—cracked case, broken buttons, or water intrusion that has corroded the circuit board
- Complete loss of the remote, requiring a spare or replacement to regain keyless entry functionality
- "Key not detected" warnings on the dash, even when the fob is inside the vehicle, indicating transponder failure
If your fob's symptoms are limited to weak signal or intermittent operation, first replace the internal battery (typically a CR2032 coin cell). If problems persist after a battery change, the transmitter or transponder chip has likely failed and the entire remote must be replaced.
What Is Included with APDTY 134080 and How Is It Programmed?
The APDTY 134080 kit includes:
- One complete 4-button keyless entry remote with integrated key blade
- Pre-installed transponder chip (uncut, unprogrammed)
- CR2032 battery (or equivalent, factory-installed)
Programming and Key Cutting Requirements:
- Transponder programming: A Nissan/Infiniti dealership or qualified automotive locksmith must use a compatible scan tool (Consult III or equivalent) to register the remote's unique ID code to your vehicle's BCM. This process typically takes 15–30 minutes and may require proof of ownership (title, registration).
- Mechanical key blade cutting: The integrated metal key must be cut to match your vehicle's door lock and ignition cylinder. Bring your existing key or provide your VIN to the locksmith or dealer parts counter for duplication.
- Remote battery activation: Some remotes ship with a pull-tab battery saver; remove it before programming.
DIY programming is not possible on these vehicles due to encrypted immobilizer protocols. Budget for professional service fees in addition to the part cost.
General Installation and Usage Notes
Once programmed and cut, your APDTY 134080 remote will function identically to the original:
- Lock/Unlock: Single press locks or unlocks all doors; double-press unlock (on some models) opens all doors and trunk
- Trunk release: Press and hold the trunk button for 1–2 seconds
- Panic alarm: Press and hold the panic button to activate the horn and lights
- Push-button start (if equipped): The transponder chip enables engine start when the fob is inside the cabin
Battery Replacement: When the dash displays a "key battery low" warning, slide the small key blade out, use it to pry open the fob case, and replace the CR2032 battery. No reprogramming is needed after a battery change.
Spare Key Recommendation: Consider programming a second APDTY 134080 as a backup. Losing your only programmed key can result in expensive emergency locksmith service or vehicle towing.
Frequently asked questions
Can I program the APDTY 134080 remote myself at home?
No. Nissan and Infiniti smart key systems require encrypted communication with the vehicle's body control module, which can only be programmed using dealer-level scan tools or professional locksmith equipment. DIY programming is not possible on these models.
Will this remote work if my vehicle didn't originally come with keyless entry?
No. Your vehicle must have been factory-equipped with the smart keyless entry system and a 4-button remote. Aftermarket keyless entry systems or vehicles that originally used a traditional metal key cannot be retrofitted to work with this remote.
How much does dealership or locksmith programming typically cost?
Programming fees vary by location and provider, but typically range from $50 to $150 for the first key and slightly less for additional keys programmed at the same visit. Key blade cutting adds another $5–$20. Call ahead for quotes.
What if my remote stops working after I replace the battery?
Battery replacement does not erase programming. If the remote stops working after a battery change, verify the battery is installed with correct polarity (+/-), check for corrosion on the battery contacts, and ensure the fob case is fully snapped together. If problems persist, the circuit board or transmitter may be damaged and the unit should be replaced.
