I’ve got a 2012 2018 Nissan Kicks, would this method still work?

🔑 Car Key & Fob FAQ

Common questions about key programming, fob issues, and replacement options

Key Fob Issues
1) Find the seam and pry open the fob (some have tiny screws) 2) Note battery orientation 3) Remove old battery (CR2032 is most common) 4) Insert new battery 5) Reassemble. Test all buttons - if issues remain, the fob may need reprogramming.
Security Systems
Not recommended. Bypassing requires specialized knowledge and may violate anti-theft laws. Proper solutions: 1) Get correctly programmed keys 2) Replace faulty immobilizer components 3) Have dealer reset the system if keys are lost.
Key Tip: Avoid exposing key fobs to water or extreme temperatures

Key Tip: Some locksmiths offer mobile key programming services
Lost Keys
Dealerships can often cut keys using your VIN, but will require proof of ownership. This only works for original factory keys - aftermarket or previously replaced locks won't match. The key will still need programming to start the car if it has a transponder.
Key Tip: Avoid exposing key fobs to water or extreme temperatures
Lost Keys
Yes, a skilled auto locksmith can extract the broken key and make a replacement. They can often do this without damaging the ignition cylinder. The new key will need programming if it has a transponder chip.
Key Tip: Always have at least two working keys to avoid expensive replacements
Key Fact: Smart keys use radio frequencies between 125 kHz and 2.4 GHz
