The Nissan immobiliser and what it means for your key
Nissan vehicles use the NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System). Because the immobiliser and the key must recognise each other, cutting a blade alone is never enough. The key has to be paired to your specific vehicle. Consequently Urban Locksmith programs on site rather than simply cutting metal. Nissan all-keys-lost usually requires a PIN calculated from the BCM. Therefore the job takes longer than a simple spare.
What usually goes wrong on a Nissan
Intelligent Key battery failure is by far the most common Nissan call, and many owners do not know the fob hides a blade.
What a Nissan job usually involves
