Keys

I already know most of you are going to think this is silly but it's bothering me lol
The small silver Nissan symbol fell off of my key a few weeks after I got my truck. It's bothering me, it looks generic and has a hole in it. So I'd like a new key. When I went to the dealer they said they won't give me a new key and I'd have to pay I think they said $84 for a new one.

Is this something they should replace or should I just suck it up?

I would have to say suck it up. $84 is a lot of cash for a little emblem.

buy as many keys you want on ebay for like 5 bucks a piece and go make walmart copy them, walmart copies car keys (the one by my house at least...)

Cutting the keys is no problem, getting it program if you have the transponder key is costly and only a dealer or a few locksmith can do it. You can however buy uncut keys for cheap on Ebay and take the little Nissan logo off and put it on the key you have now.

thanks guys its 84 because of the computer chip

just buy one on ebay, then pop the emblem off, and put a little glue on it, and stick it in the hole

NissanChick · 04-01-2007, 05:08 PM

I might think about doing that... But, I think the dealer should give me a new one it fell off with like 2k on the truck... Just wanted to see if anyone else agreed

No. Look at it this way...either it's added security knowing that just anyone can't go and get a key made for your truck, or it's a scam by Nissan to make a few extra bucks off of you.

SCAMMMM lol

You can program the key fob yourself but not the transponder.

my '04 Mustang had the ability to accept a new transponder if you had two keys for it. This wasn't an easy piece of information to find, but it would save you from having to go to the dealer if the nissan works the same way.

Something like turning the car to key "on" twice then back to "acc" for 3 seconds, then turn to off and remove the key, do again with another key that has a valid transponder.... then insert the new key you want to program. This was the ford procedure, I'd imagine nissan has the same type of thing as you can add remotes.
