Transponder Keys

The majority of Nissan vehicles come with a transponder chip within their keys. The chips disable your car's immobilizer system, so no one else can start it without your permission. This method can save many dollars on repair and replacement costs.

There are two types of transponder key that are available: rolling code and Crypto. Transponders that use rolling code send data to and from the key and to the car's computer. The car's computer examines the data sent by the key, and then changes the code of the chip. The process is conducted in a secure manner, so that no one could intercept the information.

Crypto transponders transmit information in a secure manner. These keys are encrypted and can't be duplicated. There are ways to circumvent this. First, you have to remove the cover from the key fob using either pliers or a screwdriver. Next, you have to remove the transponder chip from the key fob, and place it on a piece of tape. Then, you must place the tape on the ignition lock. After you've done this, start the car using the new key. If it doesn't work, move the tape around and try again.
