Transponder Keys

Nissan keys come with transponder chips in the majority of models. The chips disable your vehicle's immobilizer so that no one else is able to start it without your permission. This method can save lots of money on repair and replacement car keys nissan costs.

There are two kinds of transponder keys which are rolling code and crypto. Transponders for rolling code send information in two ways between the key and the car's computer. The car's computer is able to verify the data sent by the key, and alters the chip's code. The process is conducted in a secure manner to ensure that no one can intercept the data.

Crypto transponders transmit data in a hidden manner. These keys are secure and can't be duplicated. However, there are ways around this. You will need to remove the key fob cover using a screwdriver. You'll then have to remove the chip from the keyfob, and then place it on a piece of adhesive tape. Then, you must attach the tape near the ignition lock. After that then try to start your vehicle with the new key. If it doesn't work, try repositioning the tape.

They also last for a long as they're used for passive use and are rarely connected to the car.

Verify that your key fob's display has an indicator light for low battery. If it does, that's a good indication that the battery should be replaced. Once you have a new battery the key fob should reconnect provided it is properly aligned.
