Getting a replacement key for Nissan is not hard – but, it can be expensive. If you have a Nissan that was made before 1998, it might be possible to have a local auto parts store copy any existing key. After 1998, all Nissans used keys having or microchip or an internal transponder in it. Keys to those year’s vehicles usually need to be obtained from a Nissan dealership. You need your vehicle and personal identification.
Steps involved
Step 1
You will need to find your vehicle identification number or VIN. If you look through the driver’s windshield, you will find a metal strip having the VIN embossed on it. It can also be found on:
- Information sticker inside driver’s door
- Registration paperwork
- Insurance card
Step 2
With that number, you can call the Nissan dealership closest to you and ask for the parts department. Ask for information on a replacement key. It is usually ordered by using the VIN. You then need to take your registration, car title, and your proof of ownership to pick up the replacement key. This replacement for Nissan keys will usually cost you between $100 and $300 depending on the model and year of your car. In other words, a bit expensive.
