Nissan 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 require your key code, which you should keep in a secure place and should match the one in your vehicle.
Transponder Keys
Transponder keys are often found in newer vehicles. They are equipped with an RFID microchip that transmits a unique car code when keys are inserted into ignition. It is designed to ensure that only the right key can start the engine, and to prevent theft. If you'd like to know more about how this technology works and how it works, call your local locksmith or dealer for a demonstration.
When the transponder is inserted into the ignition, the key transmits an electronic message to the chip that is inside the engine control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. The ECU then checks to see whether the code on the key matches its digital serial number. If it does, the ECU then disengages the immobilizer, allowing the engine to begin. If the code doesn't match and the ECU will deny the signal and prevent the engine from beginning.
The keys are more expensive than traditional metal keys but provide additional security. However car thieves have developed in the past and discovered ways around this security measure and so the additional cost won't stop them completely.
Many people ask if it is possible to duplicate the transponder keys themselves. The answer is yes. However, it's better to leave it to auto locksmiths. The procedure can vary dependent on the make and model of your vehicle.
Mechanical Keys
Many older Nissan cars came with mechanical keys.

A reputable and qualified auto locksmith should also be able to cut you a new key at a less price than the dealership will charge.

This means that, as you press the key down it will move down a certain distance until it reaches an obstruction or triggers an internal spring. When the key is inserted into the ignition the switch will send an indication to the car to start it up.
Intelligent keys contain an internal 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 brand new one that has been programmed to work with your specific vehicle. This requires a higher degree of key technology that is only available from an automotive locksmith who is specifically trained, and will cost more than a standard replacement key you can purchase from the dealership.
