So it finally happened after 2 years. I lost my one and only key. The biggest problem is i live 2 hours away from the nearest nissan dealership, and the want to charge upwards of 200 bucks for 2 new keys. If any one else has any suggestons please feel free to tell me.

Thanks- Colin

 

Bump.............

 

your have chips inside the keys. You HAVE to get them at the dealership.

 

you lost your only key, you have no choice...

 

Ive heard of locksmiths with computer capabilities and being able to reprogram keys. but the one i've found will do it for no less than 600 bucks, i feel like im getting

 

have you searched any online nissan parts stores to see if they sell the keys?

 

Yeah ive found keys online thats not the problem. In the 4th gen and up max's the put computer chips inside keys for security messures. Ive got the key unprogrammed for 50 bucks but i need to get my car to a nissan dealership, which would be no big deal if i lived in a city but the closest one to me is 2 hours away. They HAVE to have the car and the key there to reprogram the key.

 

i think only 99's have the chip in them. anyways what you can do is see how much a tow truck will charge to get you there, if it's over 130 bucks sign up for AAA plus (basic will charge 3 bucks for every mile) and have them tow your car to the dealership

I carry AAA cuz that way I won't have to worry if my car breaksdown on long trips...

 

Yeah, it's not all 4th gens. My 96 has a regular metal key.
