Mobile Nissan key replacement near you
Lost the key to your Rogue or Altima? We come to you, anywhere in Oakland and Macomb County, any hour, and make a working key on the spot. Most Nissans on the road today use the Intelligent Key, a push-button smart fob, though plenty of Sentras, Versas and Frontiers still use a traditional chipped key.
Nissan adds a step most brands don't. Before a new key can be programmed, the car's body control module (BCM) has to be unlocked with a PIN code tied to that vehicle. We retrieve that code and program the key at your vehicle, so you don't have to tow it to a dealer. Newer models use a longer, harder-to-get PIN, and we'll tell you up front what yours needs.

Nissan keys and fobs we replace
Intelligent Key (push-button start)
Nissan's proximity smart key, standard on most newer models. We program new Intelligent Keys on site, including when no working key is left.
Transponder keys
Older and base-model Nissans use a chipped key you turn in the ignition. We cut the blade and program the chip to your car.
Remote-head keys
Some Nissans combine the key, chip and lock buttons in one head. We program both the starting chip and the remote.
Emergency key blade
Every Intelligent Key holds a small metal key for the driver's door. We cut a replacement to your locks if it is missing.
Why Nissan key programming needs a PIN
To add or replace a Nissan key, the car must first accept a PIN code from its body control module. That is a security step built into Nissan's system. Have your registration and ID handy and the vehicle at the address you give us. We'll handle retrieving the PIN and programming the key.

Nissan key replacement FAQs
Can you program a Nissan Intelligent Key without the original?
Yes, for most models. We retrieve the PIN code needed to unlock the car's body control module and program a new Intelligent Key on site. A few of the newest models may still need dealer programming, so call with your VIN and we'll tell you up front.
What is the Nissan BCM PIN code?
It is a security code tied to your car's body control module. Nissan requires it before a new key can be programmed. You don't need to find it yourself, because we retrieve it as part of the job.
Why does my Nissan say the key is not detected?
The most common cause is a weak fob battery, so try a fresh battery first. On most models you can also start the car by pressing the start button with the fob. If that doesn't work, the fob may need reprogramming or replacement.
How much does Nissan key replacement cost?
It depends on the model, year and key type. A basic Nissan transponder key costs less than a push-to-start smart key, and making a spare costs less than replacing every lost key. Call (586) 623-2403 with your year, model and VIN for a firm quote before any work starts.
