Nissan Juke Key Fob Replacement Car Key Replacement

Nissan key fob batteries are easy to replace. But first you'll need to know if your car uses an intelligent fob, push to start button or regular remote/non-transponder key.

You'll also need your key code which should be kept in a secure location and should match the one that came with your vehicle.

Transponder Keys

Often found in newer cars, transponder keys include an RFID microchip inside the key that transmits a unique code to the car every time it is inserted into the ignition. It is designed to ensure that only the correct key can be used to start the engine and prevent theft. Contact your local dealer or locksmith to see a demonstration of this technology.

When the transponder gets inserted in the ignition, the key transmits an electronic message to the chip that is inside the engine control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. The ECU examines if the number on the key corresponds to the digital serial number of the ECU. If it does then the ECU removes the immobilizer and allows the engine to begin. If the code does not match with the ECU will block the signal and prevent the engine from starting.

The keys are more expensive than traditional keys, but give you extra security. However car thieves have changed over time and found ways around this security measure and so the additional cost won't dissuade them completely.

Intelligent keys contain an embedded chip that communicates with the computer system in your vehicle. This means that if you lose your key, it will need to be replaced with a new one that is programmed to work with your particular vehicle. This requires a higher level of key technology that can only be obtained from a specialist automotive locksmith and will cost you more than a regular replacement key at the dealership.
