Bad news! The local fitter came out this morning, and after completely dismantling the dash, he told me that he couldn't find the nats unit. I suggested that it was located under the heater motor, but he said "not on Micras it isn't". Anyways, he said there isn't anything he can do but...

Thanks! I considered the button but the problem is that I don't have the tools to resolder on a new button and, even then, there's no guarantee that it would recognize. Thanks for the thread link! However, I think the reprogramming methods in that link are for the nats2 and central locking...

Yeah, might have to put an aftermarket one on there now after all this which will probably end up being more secure than the Nissan-fitted one. :laugh:

Thanks for the photo! :grinning: My car doesn't even have the radio in it, so I was thinking I could just go in that way rather than through the glovebox. The info i found about nats1 was from this link: http://www.automotiveforums.com/t37748.html A local tech offered today to do it for...

I think I may try to have a go at it this weekend. :grinning: From what I understand you need to remove the glovebox and heater motor to access the control unit. However, i think that once you disconnect, the process involves branching some wires which is what made me nervous about wanting to...

I contacted 3 local fitters about helping me out and, so far, 2 have told me there's nothing they can do and to go to the Nissan dealer. :glare: Is this normal? I keep getting referred back to the dealer who refuses to help for any less than £240!

Thanks! So a general local auto alarm fitter should know and (hopefully) not charge excessively? I've found quite a bit of information online from people who have successfully bypassed their nats1 and if I had a bit more technical courage, I'd try to do it myself. Either way, I don't want...

I'm nearly 100% positive it is NATS I as I'm pretty sure you can tell based on the remote? Anyway, the problem with Nissan is that they won't even look at the car for less than the £190 cost to remove it to their garage. My guess, based on experiences with dealers in the past, is that they'll...

Here is a photo of the remote, the key and a close-up of the inner part of the remote. Hope this helps!

Hello! I am desperately seeking some assistance in regards to my car, and someone from another more general forum directed me here. Here's my story. About a month ago I purchased an otherwise decent 1995 Micra LX 1.3 from a private seller. The car came with most of the original documentation...
