11 Ways To Completely Sabotage Your Nissan Juke Key Fob Replacement
Nissan Car Key Replacement Replacing the Nissan key fob battery is generally an easy and straightforward process. But first you'll need to know if your car uses an intelligent fob, push to start button or regular remote/non-transponder key. You'll also need the key code that should be stored in a secure location and should match with the one that came with your vehicle. Transponder Keys Most often found in modern cars, transponder keys contain an RFID microchip embedded in the key that transmits a specific code to the car when it is installed in the ignition. It is designed to guard against theft by making sure that only the right key can start the vehicle. Contact your local dealer or locksmith to see the demonstration of this technology. When the transponder gets inserted in the ignition, the key transmits an information to the chip that is inside the engine control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. The ECU then examines whether or not the code in the key matches with its own digital serial number. If it does, the ECU will release the immobilizer so that the engine can start. If the code is not compatible to the code, then the ECU will deny the signal and prevent the engine from getting started. They're more expensive than the traditional metal keys, but they provide greater security. However car thieves have evolved over time and have found ways to get around this anti-theft system therefore the extra cost won't keep them from doing anything. Many people wonder if they can copy a transponder key themselves – the answer is yes, but it's best to leave it to professional auto locksmiths.
