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 also require your key code, which should be kept in a safe location and should match with the one that came with your vehicle.

Transponder Keys

Transponder keys are typically found in modern vehicles. They feature an RFID microchip that transmits a unique car code when the key is placed in the ignition. It is designed to stop theft by ensuring that only the right key can start the vehicle. If you want to know more about how this technology works and how it works, call your local locksmith or dealer to schedule demonstrations.

When the transponder is inserted in the ignition, it sends an electronic message to the chip within the engine control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. The ECU will then check to see whether or not the number in the key matches its own digital serial number. If it does, then the ECU removes the immobilizer so that the engine can start. If the code does not match, then the ECU will refuse to accept the signal and stop the engine from getting started.

They are more expensive than traditional keys made of metal, however, they are more secure. However car thieves have evolved in the past and discovered ways around this security measure and the additional cost is not enough to deter them entirely.

Many people ask if they can copy transponder keys themselves - the answer is yes but it's better to leave it to professional auto locksmiths. Additionally, the process could differ depending on the car's make and model.

Mechanical Keys

If the key you have is damaged or broken, the case is damaged, a locksmith can generally replace the inside parts and make a new one that works as good as new. A reputable and experienced auto locksmith can also cut keys at a lower cost than the dealer.

There are various kinds of mechanical key and each one has its particular method for replacement. Linear switches feature an actuation chart that is linear, for instance. This means that when you press the key down it will move down a certain distance until it reaches an obstruction or triggers an internal spring. The switch will transmit the signal to start the car when the key is put into the ignition.

Intelligent keys have an embedded chip that communicates with the computer system of the vehicle. If you lose your key, it will have to be replaced by a new one that has been programmed to work with the vehicle. This requires more advanced key technology that is only accessible through a specialized locksmith for automotive. It will cost more than a regular key replacement at the dealership.

Key Fobs

Since the late 1990s, key fobs have been a common feature in most cars. You can unlock, lock and arm your car's security alarm with the push of a button. Many people believe that these systems are so secure that only a person who has your key code will be able to drive away with your car. However, this isn't always the case. With just a few steps, people who aren't as meticulous are able to exploit these systems.
