Nissan Car Key Replacement

Replacing the Nissan key fob battery is usually an easy and simple task. 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 require your key code, which must be kept in a secure location and should match the one that came with your car.

Transponder Keys

Commonly found in newer vehicles transponder keys usually come with an RFID microchip within the key that transmits a unique code to the car when it is installed in the ignition. TheKeyLab is designed to ensure that only the right key can be used to start the engine, and to prevent theft. Contact your local dealership or locksmith for an example of this technology.

When the transponder key is inserted in the ignition, it transmits an electronic signal to the chip within the engine control unit (ECU). The ECU is then able to determine whether the code on the key matches its digital serial number. If it does, the ECU is then able to disengage the immobilizer, allowing the engine to start. If the code doesn't match it, the ECU will refuse to accept it and stop the engine from starting.

The keys are more expensive than the traditional metal keys, however they offer greater security. However, car thieves have adapted in the past and discovered ways to circumvent this anti-theft device and the additional cost will not keep them from doing anything.

Intelligent keys contain an electronic chip that communicates with the computer system of the vehicle. If you lose your keys, it must be replaced by a new key that is programmed for the vehicle. This requires a higher degree of key technology, which can only be obtained from an automotive locksmith who is specifically trained, and will cost more than a regular replacement key you can purchase from the dealership.
