Automotive locksmith coding a new Nissan key fob

The dealer usually charges about 10%-15% less than a locksmith would for the key. However, most chances you will have to tow the car there to program the new key or remote and therefore the total price is usually higher.

Furthermore, consider that if you are looking to have a locksmith to come out and make you a new key outside regular business hours, the price may go up.

Finally, in case your ignition cylinder was changed before (usually with older cars), that probably means that the code for the key may not be useful and the key will have to be either cut manually by a locksmith or to change the ignition again which in this case the dealer can’t be of help.

Q: Can I get a Nissan Micra key replacement by VIN?

A: That depends on the year of your car and type of key you had.

The VIN allows the dealer or an automotive locksmith the option to access the key code on file, i.e. to cut you a replacement key by code which makes the process very fast and east. There are however two things to consider:

For Nissan models that are older than 10 years: There are no codes available. Therefore, an automotive locksmith is your only option to get a replacement key.
For Nissan Micra vehicles that are equipped with a transponder system and/or remote/ intelligent key/ fob key: Codes are available. However, programming is necessary and therefore you will have to either tow the car to the dealer or have an automotive locksmith come and program the key on site.

Q: Nissan Micra key programming – which keys you can program yourself, which keys require programming tool & more

Coding machine used by an automotive locksmith for Nissan cars

A: Nissan has different types of keys. Some require programming and some don’t. All transponder chip keys and/or smart key fobs need to be programmed with a special programming machine that only an automotive locksmith or the dealer has. There is no need to program non-transponder metal keys.

To make things simple we divided all Nissan keys into 2 categories:

No programming needed (non-transponder keys)
Keys that need to be programmed and you will need an automotive locksmith or the dealer (transponder or remote keys)

No Programming needed:

Nissan non-transponder keys are metal keys that have no chip in them and therefore no programming is needed:

None – Nissan Micra key has a chip and needs to be programmed.

Nissan Micra keys that need to be programmed and you will need an automotive locksmith or the dealer:
