Reasons Why Your Nissan Qashqai Key Fob Won't Work
The Qashqai's bigger dimensions give it a distinct SUV-like feel. Its ride on 19-inch alloy wheels on Ti and STL versions may also be firm. The front tyres could lose grip on rough surfaces, and its CVT can occasionally display wrist-flexing torque steer.
This is usually caused by dead batteries, which can be replaced in a matter of minutes. Make sure that the new battery has the same size, voltage and specifications.
Water Damage
Water damage is one of the most common causes that cause a Nissan keyfob to display the "key ID is wrong" message. The key fob comes with rubber seals that shield the electronic chip inside, but long-term exposure to moisture could cause it to stop working properly. This is typically the situation in the event that you've dropped your key fob in the ocean or a pool water pool, but it could happen when it's wet from soapy hands or rain.
If your key fob is exposed to water for a long period of time, it could need to be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner. Alternatively, it might need to be taken to a professional for repair or replacement.

If it doesn't it, you'll need to bring it to a Nissan dealer or professional auto locksmith for replacement of the chip in the key. Fortunately, the chip is not often damaged by water exposure and this shouldn't be a major expense.
Dead Coin Battery
The coin battery is a second common reason that your Nissan Qashqai remote key fob might not work. These batteries last for 3 to 5 years, but they will eventually fail in the event that the fob has been dropped often. You could try replacing the battery with a fresh one but be sure it's the same size and voltage as the original. If you use a new battery, it may cause the key to be assigned a different key ID. This can prevent it from being linked to your vehicle.

The best way to change the coin battery in a Nissan Qashqai Key Fob is to pry it open with an incredibly small screwdriver.

Then, remove the old CR2025 button cell battery and insert an alternative one after taking note of its position on the fob.
Before you put the new battery in check to ensure there isn't any dirt or water damage to the terminals. If there is, clean the terminals using a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. Make sure that the pole cables are connected correctly. They must be connected to the negative and the positive poles of your battery.
Fault Diagnosis
If your Nissan Qashqai key fob stops working after exposure to pure tap water or rain, it may be a sign of an internal chip problem. The battery replacement won't fix this issue, and you'll have to buy another key fob. If you dropped the key fob on the ground and it stopped working instantly, this is most likely due to the damage to the internal chip. It is possible to get the key fob back to work again if you remove and clean the chip with paper towel and isopropyl alcohol and then insert it back into.
A common error that you may see on your dashboard is "Key ID Not Correct." The vehicle is not able to recognize the key fob, and thus won't allow the car to start. The problem can be caused by several things such as water damage, undetectable issues in the circuitry of the key fob or RFID interference.

Reprogramming
If the key fob was not submerged in saltwater it should be able to come back to life by a simple wash of clean water. You can also clean the electronic chip by using isopropyl or electronic cleaner. If none of these work, you may need to replace the key fob.
If your Nissan Intelligent Key still does not work, it might be a problem connecting between it and the vehicle. Start by turning the ignition switch without activating the vehicle. Continue this process until the hazard light blinks twice. Then, turn the vehicle off and take the keys out.
Open the fob compartment of your vehicle. It's usually found on the door jamb or the handle of the door for the driver. Find the button that says "program" and press it. Once the process is completed you will hear the sound of a chime.
