Transponder Keys

Nissan keys come with transponder chips in most models. The chips disable the car's immobilizer system so that no one is able to start your vehicle without your consent. This will save you lots of money in repair and replacement costs.

There are two kinds of transponder key which are rolling code and crypto. Transponders using rolling code transmit data both to and from the key as well as to the car's computer.

Crypto transponders transmit information in a secure manner. They are encrypted, and can't be duplicated. However, there are ways around this. First, you must remove the cover from the key fob using the screwdriver or pliers. Then, remove the transponder chip from the fob and place it on a piece tape. Then, you must attach the tape near the ignition lock. Once you have done this then start the car with the new key. If you're not successful, move the tape around and try again.

If your key is missing or isn't working, call a locksmith. They can make a replacement for you quickly and at a much cheaper cost than a dealership. These professionals have the equipment to reprogram your Nissan key in case it gets lost.
