Key types & security
Nissan keys fall into two main groups, and the key you have now usually tells us which applies.
Nissan work is a big part of our week across Poole, Ferndown, Verwood and Christchurch, mostly Qashqais and Jukes bought second-hand with a single Intelligent Key. That one key is a real weak point: if it goes missing, the car cannot be started at all. Booking a spare while the key still works is quick and is the cheapest option. If you have already lost it, we can program a new one at your car for supported models. Older Micras and Notes with bladed keys are often very affordable, and their ignition barrels can be repaired when they start to stick. We also confirm whether your car has push-button start, as that changes the key we bring. Tell us the year and what the dashboard shows when the key is not detected, and we will explain the most likely cause before we book.
Older Micra, Note and early Qashqai models use a key with a transponder and lock buttons.
A slim smart key with push-button start, used on most Qashqai, Juke and X-Trail models. A hidden emergency blade opens the door.
Recent Qashqai and Juke models use updated security. We confirm support by registration.
A lost Nissan key costs £220–£470 on average and a Nissan spare key £170–£310, depending on the key type and model year. Newer VW, BMW and Land Rover spares are typically £350+, and some newer prestige models cost more. We confirm a fixed price from the model, year and registration before booking.
A Nissan dealer may need the car brought in and the key ordered. A mobile auto locksmith cuts and programs the key at your car in one visit. Nissan spare keys typically cost 30–60% less than a main dealer, with the biggest savings on cars up to 2013. We quote a fixed price first.
Practical takeaways
Intelligent Keys can stop being recognised. A new programmed key is often the fix.
Common with second-hand Qashqais. We can program a new one for supported cars.
