• Locked keys in car or boot

Nissan Models We Cover And Key Types

We work across the full Nissan range, including cars, SUVs, and light commercials:

• Cars and SUVs: Micra, Note, Juke, Qashqai, Pulsar, Leaf, Almera, X-Trail, Pathfinder, 370Z, GT-R
• Vans and commercials: NV200, NV250, NV300, NV400, Primastar, Interstar, Navara pickup

Key types supported:

• Traditional and flip remote keys with transponder chips (ID46, Hitag2 and later)

• Emergency key blades and high-security laser-cut keys
• Replacement key blades, shells, and flip mechanisms

We keep genuine-quality and high-grade aftermarket remotes and fobs in stock for common models (including 2020–2025 vehicles), enabling same-day pairing in many cases. If your model requires advanced programming or bespoke decoding, we’ll advise and handle the technicalities for you.

How Our Nissan Locksmith Service Works

1. Call For A Quick Assessment
   Tell us the model, year, registration (if possible), and what’s happened—lost keys, lockout, or a fob that’s not working. We’ll confirm what’s needed and provide a clear, no-obligation quote.

2. Mobile Dispatch Across North London
   We cover all N postcodes, from Islington, Highbury, Holloway and Finsbury Park to Muswell Hill, Crouch End, Wood Green, Tottenham, Stoke Newington, Barnet and Enfield. Our vans are fully equipped for roadside work.

3. Non-Destructive Vehicle Entry
   Locked out? We use specialist picks and decoding tools (such as Lishi) to open your Nissan without damage wherever possible. If exceptional circumstances mean minimal drilling or part replacement is the safest option, we’ll explain it and get your approval first.

4. Key Cutting And Replacement
   If you’ve lost your key, we can cut a new key by decoding the lock or referencing the vehicle’s lock code. We produce high-accuracy laser and edge-cut keys on-site, and can replace damaged blades, shells, and flip mechanisms.

5. Nissan Key Programming
   Using dealer-level diagnostics, we pair your new key or fob via OBD2 to the immobiliser. On many Nissans this involves reading or calculating the BCM/immobiliser PIN, then registering the key and synchronising the remote functions. For certain older systems or complex cases, we may use EEPROM techniques for reliable pairing. We handle both transponder and Intelligent Key proximity systems.

6. Testing, Handover And Warranty
   We verify remote locking, boot release, and push-to-start or ignition turn. You drive away with a working key and our warranty on keys and workmanship.

If you already have a working key and just need a spare, our on-site car key replacement service makes it painless and cost-effective, avoiding dealer wait times.

Advanced Nissan Key Programming And Diagnostics

Modern Nissans employ evolving immobiliser technologies (often referred to as NATS) and smart key systems. We routinely deal with:

• Transponder programming for ID46/Hitag2 and later systems
• Intelligent Key pairing and sync for push-button start models
• Remote central locking configuration and troubleshooting
• BCM, ECU and immobiliser resynchronisation
• “Key System Error”, “Key ID Incorrect”, or “Key Not Detected” faults
• Replacement of damaged emergency blades and re-coding after lock changes

Our tooling includes dealer-level diagnostics and advanced programmers. Typical workflows involve secure PIN retrieval, erase-and-relearn cycles, and key slot registration. Where BCM or ECU data must be accessed directly, we use safe EEPROM procedures on the bench to extract, modify, and reflash immobiliser data. This allows us to recover “all keys lost” scenarios, even when the onboard path is locked or tamper-limited.

For electric models such as Nissan Leaf, we handle the key and immobiliser side professionally—no towing required—observing all safety procedures. If your issue overlaps with non-key electrical faults, we’ll advise and help you reach the right specialist if needed.

Nissan Key And Lock FAQs

Can you make a Nissan key without the original?

Yes. In “all keys lost” scenarios we can cut a new key by decoding your locks and then programme it to your Nissan’s immobiliser. For many models we retrieve the necessary PIN via OBD2; for some, an EEPROM method is used. You won’t need to tow to a dealer.

Can you programme a used Nissan Intelligent Key?

Sometimes, but not always. Many used Nissan fobs are locked to the original vehicle and cannot be reliably re-used. To avoid frustration and return visits, we recommend new, compatible fobs that we supply and guarantee. We’re happy to test a used unit if you already have one.

How long does Nissan key programming take?

For a spare key where a working key is present, allow around 30–60 minutes in typical cases. For all-keys-lost, older immobilisers, or smart keys, it can take longer, especially if EEPROM work is required. We’ll give you an estimate once we know your model and situation.

My Nissan says “Key Not Detected.” What should I do?

First, replace the fob battery and try holding the fob against the start/stop button while pressing it—many Nissans have an emergency start antenna. If it still fails, the fob or antenna system may be faulty. We can diagnose and resolve this on-site, supplying and programming a replacement fob if needed.

Can you fix a broken or stuck Nissan ignition?

Yes. We repair and replace worn barrels and extract snapped keys without damage wherever possible. If the ignition or steering lock is beyond repair, we’ll discuss options, costs, and coding to ensure your keys and locks match and operate correctly. See our page on car ignition repair North London.

Will you damage my Nissan when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In the rare event that minimal drilling or part replacement is the only safe option, we’ll explain why, agree the approach with you, and complete a neat, professional repair.

Do you cover my area in North London?

Yes—our mobile service covers all N postcodes, including Islington, Highbury, Holloway, Finsbury Park, Muswell Hill, Crouch End, Tottenham, Wood Green, Finchley, Barnet, Enfield, Stoke Newington, and more. We dispatch efficiently to minimise your wait.

Are you insured and vetted?

Absolutely. We carry public liability insurance and all technicians are DBS-checked. Our work is backed by warranties on keys and workmanship.
