About Nissan keys
- Nissan calls its proximity fob the Intelligent Key. It has a slide-out emergency blade.
- Older Nissans and many trucks use transponder chip keys, sometimes with a separate remote.
- If your Intelligent Key is not detected, try holding the fob against the start button. If it still fails, call us.

Keys we cut and program for Nissan
Transponder chip key
A chip in the head talks to the car's immobilizer. The blade can be cut anywhere, but the car will not start until the chip is programmed.
Remote head key
Key blade and lock/unlock buttons in one piece. Both the chip and the remote have to be programmed.
Smart key / proximity fob
Push-button start. The car detects the fob in your pocket. Most have a hidden emergency blade for the door.
What we do for Nissan owners
Nissan key questions
My Nissan says 'key not detected'. Do I need a new key?
Not always. A weak battery is the usual cause. If a new battery does not fix it, we can test and replace the fob.
Can you program a Nissan Intelligent Key on site?
Yes, on supported models, without towing the car.
What do you need to make a Nissan key?
The year and model, where the Nissan is parked, and whether you have a working key. On site we check your ID and registration, as California law requires.
