With no working key, Nissan’s system requires the new key be registered as the only valid key, which takes longer than a spare-key job. Expect the higher end of the range. Full detail in all keys lost.
Nissan vs the dealer
A Nissan dealership key job for an intelligent key can run more than a locksmith visit (our prices page compares dealership transponder keys at $150 to $400 against $125 to $250 from us) with the vehicle needing to be brought in. A mobile locksmith uses the same manufacturer protocol and finishes at your vehicle the same day. More in is it worth paying a locksmith over the dealer.
