Nissan car keys in Adelaide

Nissan vehicles are common across Adelaide, especially the Navara ute, X-Trail SUV, Qashqai and the Patrol. Nissan keys come in different types depending on when your vehicle was made and what model you have.

We make and program Nissan keys for all the popular models across different generations. Text your Nissan model and year and we will confirm what key it uses and whether we can help.

Text your Nissan model and year and we will confirm what key it uses and what it costs. We quote before any work starts, and every key is tested before we call it done. Coverage varies by model and year.

Nissan key types by model and year

Nissan has used different key systems across its model generations. The year and model of your Nissan tells us what key type you need.

Not sure which key your Nissan has? Send a photo along with your model and year and we will identify it for you.

  • Older Nissans often use a basic transponder key, a metal key with a chip that matches the immobiliser.
  • Many Navara and X-Trail models from the mid-era use a remote key or flip key, with the remote and transponder coded together.
  • Newer Nissan Qashqai, Patrol and recent X-Trail generations use a smart key or proximity fob for keyless entry and push-button start.
  • The latest Nissan platforms can sometimes be dealer-only for key programming, and we will tell you honestly if that is the case.

Spare Nissan key or all-keys-lost

If you have a working Nissan key right now, get a spare made. It is cheaper because we can program it from the key you have.

If all your Nissan keys are lost, we can help on many models, but it is more involved. We set up the immobiliser from scratch and program a new key, which costs more and takes longer. Tell us your situation and we will map it out plainly.

Nissan remote keys and immobiliser faults

Nissan key is in the ignition and turns, but the car will not start? That can be an immobiliser problem or a remote key not paired correctly rather than the key being worn out.

Text us your Nissan model and year and we will tell you what is going on before you book anything.

What you need for a Nissan key

Have your registration or VIN ready so we can look up your exact Nissan model and what key it needs. Bring photo ID as well, because we confirm you own the vehicle before we program any keys.

If you are making a spare, bring your working Nissan key so we can use it to program the new one.

Tested before sign-off

Every key we program is tested in front of you before we call it done.

  • It locks.
  • It unlocks.
  • It starts the car.

If it does not pass, we do not call it done. You walk away with a key that works.

Common questions

Honest answers to the usual questions

Can you make a key for my Nissan Navara or X-Trail?
On many Nissan Navara and X-Trail models, yes. These are among the most common Nissan key jobs we see, from older transponder keys through remote keys to the newer smart keys. Coverage varies by model and year, so text your exact model and year and we will confirm before you book.
Do you program Nissan smart keys and push-button start fobs?
On many newer Nissans, yes. We program smart and proximity fobs for keyless entry and push-button start, as well as transponder and remote keys. Some of the newest Nissan platforms can be dealer-only, so we confirm your model and year first.
I have lost all the keys to my Nissan, can you help?
On many Nissan models, yes. With all keys gone, we set up the immobiliser from scratch and program a fresh key. It is more involved than a spare, so it takes longer and costs more. Text your model and year and we will tell you straight what is possible and what the cost is.
How much is a spare Nissan key?
It depends on the Nissan model and whether it is a transponder, remote or smart key. A spare made while you still have a working key costs less than an all-keys-lost job. We do not guess prices. Text your model and year and we will quote before any work starts.
My Nissan key turns in the ignition but the car will not start, is it the key?
Not always. On a Nissan that can be an immobiliser or key not paired correctly rather than a worn key. Text us your model and year and we will tell you what is going on.
