No computer is needed. You can program the remote using your car. I had a similar problem and was able to find a replacement keyfob remote online. It came with instructions on how to program remote. Only problem is that if you have multiple remotes, after you program the first one, you have to reprogram the rest of them or they will not work anymore.

You need a special computer for that. Either the Nissan service department or an aftermarket store that installs auto alarms, remote starters, etc, often have it and they can do the job.

Changed batteries, remote still not working.

The remote keyless entry needs to be reset when the battery is changed, and the key pad must be reprogrammed if you need a new code.
here ya go..

Sit in the driver's seat of your Ford 500.

Insert the key in the ignition and turn it from "Off" to "Run" eight times within 10 seconds. The final turn should have the key in the "Run" position. You will hear the door locks engage; this means it is in programming mode.

Press any button on the remote; the door locks will engage again to confirm the programming. This must be done within 20 seconds of entering the programming mode.

Press any button on the second remote; the door locks will engage again to confirm the programming. This must be done within 20 seconds of entering the programming mode.

Turn the key to the "Off" position to complete the programming. The door locks will engage again confirming that programming is complete.

Keypad

Decide on a series of five digits to be your personal code. Your code needs to be an easily remembered series or numbers.

Locate the keypad on the driver's door; it will be directly above the driver's door handle.

Press the buttons that correspond with the factory remote keyless entry (RKE) code. This code can be obtained from the dealership if it has been lost.

Activate the programming mode by pressing the "1'2" button within 5 seconds of entering the RKE code.

Delete the old code by pressing and holding the "1'2" button for two seconds.

Enter the new five-digit code that you created in Step 1. This must be done within five seconds of deleting the old code. The door locks will cycle when the new code is confirmed.
hope this helps you.

I lost my only key for my 2001 cadillac catera, how can I get a new one?

You need to get an aftermarket coded key which can be cut by the serial number of the vehicle.
You need to be a locksmith to get the cut codes or know a locksmith.
Then you have to get the car to the dealer and have the key programmed using the Tech 2 scanner.

You can take the car to the dealer and have them give you a key, programmed and everything but it will cost around $300 for the 1st key.

I bought a 2001 Catera for $1,500.00 because it had no keys.

I used serial number to get key codes and cut the key; doors opened and seller retrieved her personal stuff.
I towed car to dealership and had the key programmed; $130 for 10 minutes work (min 1 hour shop charge).
I then programmed 3 more keys (using a key code reader) instead of letting the dealership rape me.

BTW, they (dealer) also want $350 for a programmed door remote; the stock remote!
Instead, I bought a remote starter unit (Bulldog) with 2 remote fobs for $100 and now my wife can start and find her car easily.

Your factory code is on a card in the owners manual. If that is lost, access the control module in the cargo area behind the left cover panel.

You MIGHT be able to see the code printed on it, or you might need to pull it out in order to see it.

2001 Volvo S40 missing key/remote

You car has an integrated key and remote.

There is a software that needs to be downloaded to the car. When the remote is purchased at the dealer it comes in a plastic package. That plastic package has a sticker on it. The sticker contains id codes.

There are two codes one is 16 digits/letters and the second one is 8 digits/letters.

Without this sticker the dealership can not program the remote/key to the car. If you buy a key elsewhere, make sure it has the codes included.

Unfortunately you cannot program a remote yourself.
