Transponder Keys
Nissan keys come with transponder chips on the majority of models. These chips disable the car's immobilizer system so that nobody else is able to start it without your permission. This system could save you a significant amount of money in repair and replacement costs.
There are two types of transponder keys: rolling code and crypto. Transponders using rolling code transmit data both to and from the keys and to the car's computer. The car's computer validates the data sent by the key then alters the chip's codes. This is done in a secure manner to ensure that no one is able to get the information.
Crypto transponders transmit information in a hidden manner. These keys are encrypted and cannot be duplicated. However there are ways around this. The first step is to remove the cover from the key fob with an pliers or screwdriver. Then, you need to remove the transponder chip from the fob and place it on a piece of tape. Finally, you need to put the tape in the vicinity of the ignition lock. After that then try to start your car using the new key. If that doesn't work, try repositioning your tape.
