Nissan and Infiniti key replacement in Vancouver
Nissan and Infiniti run the same key hardware, so this page covers both. An Intelligent Key proximity fob for a Rogue, Altima, Murano, Pathfinder, a newer Sentra or Frontier, or an Infiniti Q50, QX50, QX60 or QX80, is $280-$420 cut and programmed. The older blade transponder cars are $180-$280. All keys lost starts from $180.
Everything is done at the car. We set out from the shop at 4105 Macdonald St and give you the arrival time on the call. Published figures are on the price list, and the car key replacement page covers the makes without a page of their own.
Nissan key facts at a glance
The details we check before quoting a Nissan or Infiniti key.
Blade profilesNSN11 on older Nissans, NSN14 edge-cut on most 2000s and 2010s cars, and a laser emergency blade inside every Intelligent Key.
Transponder chipMost 2000s and 2010s Nissans use a Philips ID46 chip.
Security PINProgramming needs a security PIN worked out from the car: 4 digits on older models, 20 digits on newer ones. We calculate it at the vehicle.
Intelligent KeyNissan's proximity system. Most Intelligent Key models allow up to four fobs, so a spare can be added without disabling the one you use.
InfinitiInfiniti shares the same Intelligent Key hardware, PIN logic and blades.
Intelligent Key by model
Nissan calls its proximity system the Intelligent Key, and which cars have it is the first thing worth checking before anyone quotes you.
Rogue
Intelligent Key across the range. The Rogue is the Nissan we replace the most fobs for in Vancouver, and second fobs are the most common booking.
Altima and Murano
The Altima moves from a blade transponder to the Intelligent Key part way through its life; the Murano has been Intelligent Key throughout. Both are written through the OBD port at the vehicle.
Sentra
Blade transponder for most of its run, Intelligent Key on the current car. The Sentra is also where worn ignition cylinders turn up.
Pathfinder and Frontier
Pathfinder switched to Intelligent Key earlier than the Frontier, which stayed on a blade key until the current truck. Remote start and tailgate functions are tested with the finished key.
What a Nissan or Infiniti key costs
Published figures. A dealer fob is ordered in and still has to be programmed to the car it belongs to.
Intelligent Key proximity fob
$280-$420 cut and paired for Rogue, Altima, Murano, Pathfinder, and the Infiniti Q50 and QX range.
Blade transponder key
$180-$280 for the older Sentra, Frontier, Altima and G35.
Spare beside a working key
$300-$420 proximity, $180-$240 blade.
All keys lost
From $180. The module is read at the car and the missing fob is voided so it cannot start the vehicle.
Service call
The standard-hours service call is $75. Labour between 5 and 9 pm is $150; from 9 pm to 8:30 am it is $250/hour.
Infiniti
Q50, QX50, QX60, QX80 and the G cars. Infiniti is Nissan's luxury division and shares the Intelligent Key platform, the blanks and the programming route. A Q50 fob and a Rogue fob are the same class of job, which keeps Infiniti keys out of the European band and inside the $280-$420 proximity band.
The QX60 is the Infiniti we are called to most in Vancouver. The G35 and G37 are the two whose ignition cylinders wear first, and on those the complaint usually arrives as a key problem rather than a lock problem.
Antenna rings, cylinders and fob cells
The car that says no key detected
On the Rogue, the Q50 and the QX60 the antenna ring around the start button fails often enough that we test it before selling a fob. A good key and a deaf car look identical from the driver's seat.
Altima and Sentra ignition wear
These cylinders bind and then trap the key. We replace the cylinder at the kerb and key it to your existing key where the lock allows. That work is ignition repair.
Fob cells every two or three years
Intelligent Key cells are consumables. A car that has stopped unlocking on approach usually wants a cell and a resync, not a new fob.
