Transponder Keys

The majority of Nissan vehicles are equipped with a transponder chip within their keys. These chips disable the car's immobilizer system, so no one else can start it without your consent. This can save you lots of money on repair and replacement costs.

There are two kinds of transponder keys which are 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 confirms the data sent by the key, and then alters the chip's coding. This is done in a secure way, to ensure that no one is able to take over the information.

Crypto transponders transmit data in a more secret way. These keys are encrypted, and cannot be copied. However, there are ways around this. You'll need to take off the cover for the key fob with a screwdriver. Then, you need to remove the transponder chip from the key fob, and put it on a piece tape. Then, you have to stick the tape to the ignition lock. After that then try to start your vehicle with the new key. If this doesn't work, try repositioning your tape.

Contact a locksmith for help if your key has been damaged or lost. They can create a replacement for you quickly and at a cheaper cost than a dealership. These professionals have the equipment to reprogram your Nissan key if it's lost.
