Nissan and Infiniti Key Services

Depending on the vehicle, service can include all-keys-lost replacement, spare keys, key cutting, transponder and Intelligent Key programming, remote replacement, and key-recognition diagnostics. Common Nissan requests include the Altima, Sentra, Rogue, Murano, Pathfinder, Maxima, Versa, Kicks, Frontier, Titan, Armada, and NV vans. Common Infiniti requests include the Q50, Q60, QX50, QX60, QX80, G35, G37, and FX35.

Nissan and Infiniti share many key systems, but keys that look alike can use different chips and frequencies. We confirm the correct key for your exact vehicle before cutting or programming.

Transponder Keys and Intelligent Key Fobs

Nissan and Infiniti models with a turn-key ignition use a transponder key or a remote-head key. Push-button-start models use an Intelligent Key, a proximity fob with an emergency blade inside. Each type is cut and programmed differently.

Programming usually requires a security PIN tied to the vehicle, which we obtain after verifying ownership. See Transponder Key Programming, Smart Key Programming, and Key Fob Programming.

Key Not Detected or Steering Lock Warning

A “key not detected” message or a no-start condition can come from a weak fob battery, a damaged key, low vehicle voltage, or a fault in the vehicle’s security system. On some push-to-start Nissan and Infiniti models, a steering-lock warning points to the steering lock itself rather than the key.

We check the key and the vehicle before recommending programming. See Ignition Repair and Immobilizer Repair, and tell us any warning messages when you call. For step-by-step checks, read our guide to Nissan Key Not Detected fixes.

Lost All Your Nissan or Infiniti Keys?

When no working key remains, replacement may require the VIN, a key code, the security PIN, cutting, and programming the new key to the vehicle. If one key still works, adding a tested spare now is usually simpler than an all-keys-lost call later.

See Lost Car Key Replacement for the full process and VIN Key Cutting for keys cut from your vehicle’s code.

What to Have Ready

Have a government-issued photo ID and proof of ownership, such as the registration, title, or insurance card. Tell us the year, model, VIN, ignition type (turn-key or push-to-start), your location, and how many working keys you have. If your documents are locked inside the vehicle, let us know when you call.

Nissan and Infiniti Key FAQs

Can you make a Nissan key if I lost all my keys?

Yes, for many compatible vehicles. After we verify ownership, we can cut a new key and program it to the vehicle. Procedures vary by model and year.

My Nissan says key not detected. Do I need a new key?

Not always. A weak fob battery is a common cause. If a new battery doesn’t fix it, the fob, the vehicle’s antennas, or the security system may need to be checked.

Can you program an Infiniti key I bought online?

Sometimes. The key must be the correct type and able to be programmed. Many keys sold online have the wrong chip or frequency, so send us the part number before you buy.

How much does Nissan or Infiniti key replacement cost?

It depends on the key type, model year, and whether any working key remains. Call or text with your vehicle details and we’ll give you a quote before any work begins.
