Nissan Key Replacement in Milwaukee

Nissan keys for Altima, Rogue, Sentra, and Pathfinder

Nissan key replacement in Milwaukee means a lot of Altima, Rogue, and Sentra keys, plus Pathfinder, Murano, Maxima, Versa, Kicks, and the Frontier pickup. Many of these cars use Nissan's push-to-start Intelligent Key, and the rest use a chip key or a key with the remote in the head. We cut and program the key at the car, and the car is tested with you before we leave.

The Nissan security PIN

Most Nissans ask for a security PIN before they will learn a new key. The PIN belongs to the car's body control module, and without it the programming tool cannot get into the key list. On most models our tool gets the PIN from the car itself through the diagnostic port, so there is no wait for a code from the dealer. A few newer models need extra steps, and we tell you up front if yours is one of them.

Bring every key you want to keep

One Nissan detail surprises a lot of people. On many Nissan models, programming clears the car's key list, and the car then learns only the keys that are with us at that moment. A key left at home or at work stops starting the car. So when you book a spare, bring every working key you plan to keep, and we program them all in the same session. If a key is missing because it was lost or stayed with someone else, this works in your favor: the missing key is gone from the car.

Nissan Intelligent Key

The Intelligent Key is Nissan's smart key. The car finds it nearby, the request button on the door handle locks and unlocks, and the start button starts the engine. Altima has offered it since the 2007 model year, and Rogue, Murano, Maxima, Pathfinder, and Sentra use it on many trims. A small blade inside the fob opens the driver's door. A Nissan Intelligent Key starts at $159 (smart keys).

Chip keys and remote head keys

Versa, Sentra, Frontier, and older Altimas often use a regular key: a chip key with a separate remote on older cars, or a remote head key with the buttons in the head on newer ones. A remote head key starts at $129, and a separate remote is programmed from $119 (key fobs). A spare chip key with a working key starts at $69 (spare car key). Count on 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the key and the PIN step.

All Nissan keys lost

With nothing in hand, we start by opening the car (car lockout). For a chip key we read the cuts off a door lock or use the factory code for the VIN, bought after we see your ID and title. Then the tool gets the PIN, and we program the new keys. Because the car learns only the keys present, the lost keys are gone from it after the visit. All keys lost for a chip key starts at $119, and Intelligent Keys cost more (lost car keys).

Frontier and work keys

The Frontier and the older Titan are working pickups for many people around Milwaukee. A truck with one key is one lost key away from a missed day of work, and a second key costs far less now than a new key later. If the truck belongs to a company, a letter or an email from the company and your photo ID are enough (fleet keys).

Toyota and Honda keys follow other rules; see Toyota keys, Honda keys, and car keys by make.
