Need new key fob

[nismopath]

I lost my keys, now I just have my spare and no fob. Can I purchase any off eBay instead of going to the dealer?
I had found easy instructions to pair it, but is it a display something I can do or do I have to go to the dealer?

Yep! You can get them from Amazon. Here's the one I bought. I have something like four of them:

One other thing, you can get new chipped keys for your truck at Ace Hardware. Forget how much they cost but it's significantly less than the Nissan cost. I have three or four of those...

Do you have a chipped key and remote fob or do you have an "Intelligent Key?"

Instead of creating a new thread I’d thought I’d ask on here.
My 2009 PF uses a chip key and fob for lock on unlocking. I would like to be able to get a set since my PF only come with one set of keys.
I looked at a few places on the internet and they sell the key and remote fobs but not pre programmed.
Am I better off just going to Ace Hardware , their website didn’t give me much information about costs or such. Thanks.

The key has to be programmed by a dealer or smithy in order to start the engine. You can easily self-program the fobs. See DLK-117 for the procedure:

That’s really good to know. Thanks, since Ace Hardware wanted $160 for the fob. I only paid and bought the key from them for $100.
So moving forward I can buy a fob and use the link you supplied.
So can I go ahead and buy this one and program it myself ?

As long as you're sure it fits. I wouldn't go by looks or MMY. Lots of Nissan fobs look identical but don't have the same internal hardware. Get the OE fob part number from NissanPartsDeal using your VIN, then google for fobs using that.

I was cross referencing the FCC ID. I ordered one from Amazon ( key fob).

I've had good luck with Tom's Key https://tomskey.com to program additional fobs and keys for my wife's Sienna.

Each time I remove the key from the ignition barrel the doors unlock. Is there setting to disable this, since I believe its preventing me getting further.

I managed to get the key fobs programmed using the key method. But still unsure why each time I remove key the doors all unlock.

It's supposed to work that way. On some models you can change it so there's no Auto Unlock or so it does it when you put the shifter in Park instead of when the key is removed. Not sure what the possibilities are on your Pathy, it will be in the BCM settings under the "ECU Diagnostics" heading of the Doors, Locks and Vehicle Security (DL) section of the FSM.

Thanks but I don’t think I can access those settings. Only ones I see on the vehicle settings are under driver convenience menu. Nothing there to unlock when in Park. Or unlock when key removed. Must be a default setting.

It is, but on some of the older stuff it can be changed by the dealer with BCM settings and turned on or off by you using the lock/unlock button. Yours is one of them. See DLK-12, bottom of the page:
