Transponder Keys

Most Nissan cars are equipped with a transponder chip in their keys. These chips disable the vehicle's immobilizer standard system, ensuring that nobody can start your car without your permission. This system can save lots of money on repair and replacement costs.

There are two types of transponder keys including rolling code and Crypto. Transponders that use rolling code send data to and from the keys and to the car's computer. The car's computer is able to verify the data sent by the key, and alters the code of the chip. The process is conducted in a secure way, so that no one can take over the information.

Crypto transponders send data in a more private manner. The keys are encrypted and they can't be copied. However there are ways around this. First, you have to remove the cover of the key fob using a screwdriver or pliers. Then, remove the transponder chip from the fob and put it on a piece of tape. The tape should be affixed to the ignition lock. Once you have done this, start the car using the new key. If this doesn't work move the tape around and try again.
