Latio I-Key Problem + Replacement for cupholder cover
leclair:
hi
New to this forum and i just gotten resale 07 latio premium
A. Problem with I-Key : Can open the doors keylessly but cannot do keyless ignition. Need to insert physical to start engine.
What i have Tried so far:
1. Changed remote batt few times , results= same
2. Checked connection behind rear view mirror, Seemed all quite secure
3. Tried reprogramming the i key with the car (learned from the net)- insert then pull out the key 8 times within 10sec , pressthe remote etc.... Result= Car no response
4. Called Nissan and guess what , First need to try to diagnose the problem est 2 hrs job @ $65/hr =$130
Then replacement set + change sensor +whateverelse they need to do = $300++
Dose anyone know of any other ways to try to solve the problem or maybe some less costly problem?
B. Replacement for cupholder soft touch cover
My cpholder cover plastic has torn/crack near one hinge, now cant function properly.
Does anyone know where to get a replacement?
Called Nissan and they said must order from Japan and will be quite costly but dont know how much also???

for issue (a), iirc, someone mentioned that due to the gear lever switch not at P, so cannot start car with i-key...
for issue (b), i did change my cupholder previously at TCM...need to order from TCM and will arrive in abt 1month...cupholder is cheap abt $80+...total cost include labour is $129.72

thanks JP
gear not at P? if the digital shows that it is "P" then should be "p"? no? Means the gear box has problems?
did u replace the cupholder or just the soft touch lid/cover? mine problem is the lid- must replace the whole cup holder + lid?

what I meant was that the switch is not detected at P....this is to my best knowledge...
as for the cupholder, u got to replace the whole assy....cos the cover & cupholder is 1pc....likely the plastic part holding the spring is broken as such the cover cannot spring open when pressed....at least that was what happened to mine....

an update for anyone present or future with similar prob.
went to TCM for diagnostics told me the central control module is spoilt. must order the replacement and everything cost close to $500. that was 1 whole afternoon.
Went to change after a week or so after the stock came in. same thing left the car there for 1 whole afternoon. Then in the end they said they found out that the module near the rear view mirror is also spoiled ( which they could only detect after the new central module was installed). This cost another $180+++ and must wait for up to 10 weeks for the stock. and of cos another appointment to fix it up.
So $600 ++ for this i key problem. which TCM claimed to be the quite "good" price as compared to others makes AD which charges from 1000$ onwards....
THen i asked i would have installed aftermarket 2 way alarm + remote start+ push start for ard $500, they said the smart key system in latio cant be bypassed? How true is that?
Expensive problem sia! hope none of you will get it.
