-
Mobile Dispatch

Key Cutting and Programming
- We cut high-security, laser and standard blades to OEM spec and program transponders, remotes or smart keys to your Nissan’s immobiliser/BCM. When required for certain models or lost-all-keys scenarios, we carry out EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming.

Testing and Handover
- We test door locking, remote functions, and engine start to ensure everything works as it should. You’ll receive guidance on maintenance, warranty coverage, and safe storage of spares.
Note: In rare, specific cases (e.g., severely damaged locks or non-serviceable steering locks), minimal drilling or component replacement may be required. We will explain options and costs clearly before proceeding.

Common Nissan Key and Immobiliser Problems Explained
-
Lost Nissan Keys
- We can create a new key without the original by accessing your immobiliser/BCM data and programming a fresh transponder or smart key. We can also, where appropriate, deauthorise missing keys for security.
-
Nissan “Key Not Detected”
- Often a smart key pairing or antenna issue. We diagnose signal path, check smart key battery, and re-register keys or repair components as needed.
-
Central Locking or Remote Not Working
- Could be a worn button pad, water damage, microswitch failure, or BCM-related fault. We test and repair or replace the fob and reprogram it.
-
Key Snapped or Stuck
- We provide broken key extraction and can replace a worn blade with a laser-cut or standard cut to OEM profile.
-
Ignition Won’t Turn

FAQs for Nissan Keys and Locks
Can you make a new Nissan key without the original?
Yes. We can cut and program a replacement without the original by reading immobiliser/BCM data via OBD2 or EEPROM (model dependent). This is ideal for lost-all-keys scenarios and avoids towing to a dealer.
My Nissan says “Key Not Detected.” What should I do?
First, try a fresh battery in the fob and hold the fob near the start button. If it still fails, it’s likely a pairing or antenna/BCM issue. We provide smart key diagnostics and re-registration on the spot.
Do you offer non-destructive entry if I’ve locked my keys in the car?
Wherever possible, yes. We use specialist picks and access methods designed for Nissan locks. Any rare exceptions are explained and authorised before work starts.
How long does Nissan key programming take?
Most replacements and programming can be completed during a single mobile visit. Times vary by model, year, and whether all keys are lost, but many jobs are completed the same day.
Will my old lost key still work if someone finds it?
We can erase or deauthorise missing keys on most Nissan models, so they will no longer start the vehicle. Ask us to perform key deletion when we program your new keys.
Can you help with Nissan vans like NV200 and Primastar?
Absolutely. We handle van and commercial Nissan keys and locks, including creating spares for fleets and resolving immobiliser issues on-site.
