Replacement Keys
Nissan is a popular car brand with a variety of models of cars currently in production. If you have lost your keys to your car or have a broken or damaged key, it can be a real headache and usually involves calling for roadside assistance, paying a high cost to a locksmith or having to wait for a long period of time to get a new key from the dealer.
Nissan cars usually have a transponder or intelligent key. These keys need to be coded to the immobiliser system in your car for it to be able to start. This is accomplished using a specialist tool that only an automotive locksmith or a car dealer can access.
Non-transponder metal keys don't require the use of a code. They can be cut straight from the current key, and function just like normal. If your key is beginning to show signs of wear, or if the blade has been snapped into two at the point of use then it might be the time to purchase a replacement key.
We can cut a new Nissan key from your existing key, and program it to your vehicle at the same time. This will ensure that your new key works on all functions and is the only one that will unlock and start your car.
Transponder Keys
If you own a more modern vehicle, it is likely that it has a transponder chip inside. These chips can make it difficult for thieves to duplicate your keys, and even start your vehicle. They work by sending signals to the car's engine control unit. The ECU can recognize this code and unlock the ignition, which will then allow you to start your car.
This kind of key is more expensive than standard car keys, however it's worth the cost to safeguard your vehicle from thieves. There are many benefits when using this type of key for instance, its enhanced security features and simplicity of use. However, the key must be programmed to your car's computer in order to function properly. A licensed locksmith or dealer can assist you with this.
Transponder keys can also be useful in the event you lose your car keys. You can take off the small cover that is located at the edges of these keys to reveal a L-shaped key made of metal. Then, you can cut the key to fit the door locks. You can then replace the key that was lost to get back on your feet! These can be found at stores like Home Depot, Walmart and AutoZone or from locksmiths. They can even create the transponder keys you need at a lower cost than a dealership for cars.
Push to Start Keys
The Nissan Micra is a small car that is incredibly functional. The Nissan Micra comes with an remote key fob that allows you to start and unlock your car remotely. The ignition in your car is powered by an inductive charging device. The key fob sends energy to the coil on the dashboard. Its compact size allows it to be carried in your pocket or purse. The key fob can serve several other functions too. It can be used to locate your keys in case they're lost and lock your doors when you are away from your vehicle.
Rubber seals on the key fob stop water from damaging its electronic chip. However long exposure to water may damage the chip. Submerging your keypad in ocean or pool waters could be a hassle. A quick bath in soapy, warm water is enough. If your key fob has been submerged, you need to remove the battery, and dry it off with a paper towel before putting it into.
Although it's unlikely to be a frequent occurrence, losing your car keys can be a major issue. If you're concerned about this, consider buying a spare key. It is also possible to contact a locksmith dealer, however they could be more expensive and come with long waiting times.
