Need Spare Key
Hi,
My used max only came with one key and remote. At the moment, i need to get a spare key before next weekend when i am due for Viper 791 install by Don.
i live in Baltimore area. Dealerships want over $100 to make a key - even the one from whom i bought the car - Security Nissan...
so, what options do i have... any latest experiences with locksmiths in my area...
thanks - Noela

The problem is that your key has an immobilizer chip in it that needs to be programmed. That could be done without dealership assistance, but I have no idea where you can get a blank key outside of a dealership with that chip in it.

i also need a spare key, im also planning on buying a spare key from ebay, however, along with programming the key, dont you have to get the key cut as well? can any locksmith do the cutting as well or can only the dealer do it? im also planning on getting an additional remote off ebay....i heard that i can program that myself too pretty easily....that true? and lastly, i have a problem where my key goes inside my car door, but doesnt turn it to lock or unlock the car....anyone ever had the same problem? whats the resolution?
