Transponder Keys
Most Nissan cars are equipped with a transponder chips in their keys. These chips disable your car's immobilizer, which means that nobody can start your vehicle without your consent. This method can save the cost of repair and replacement costs.
There are two types of transponder keys: rolling code and Crypto. Transponders for rolling code send data both ways between the key and the car's computer. The car's computer validates the information transmitted by the key and then alters the chip's codes. This process is done in a secure manner to ensure that no one is able to intercept the data.
Crypto transponders transmit data in a way that is more hidden. These keys are secure and cannot be duplicated. However there are ways around this. You'll need to remove the cover for the key fob with a screwdriver. Then, remove the transponder chip from the fob and put it on a piece of tape. Then, you must put the tape in the vicinity of the ignition lock. After you've done that attempt to start the vehicle with the new key. If it doesn't work, place the tape in a different position and try again.
Contact a locksmith for help if your key has been damaged or lost. They can create a replacement for you quickly and at a lower cost than the dealer. These experts also have the tools to reprogram your Nissan's keys in the event that you have lost it.
