Programming
Modern Nissan automobiles come with keys that provide many benefits and functions compared to the traditional manual key. However, they are more prone to battery issues and will need to be replaced in the future. This is an easy fix that you can carry out at home.
The first step is to eliminate the battery. To do this, locate an elongated catch on the back of your key fob and pull it downwards. This will release the mechanical key inside your key fob which serves as an emergency starter. It is recommended to keep this key handy and return it when the replacement is complete.
After you have removed the old battery be sure to note the location of the battery and how it was placed. You'll need the flat-head screwdriver to take the battery. Replace the battery you have used with the new one. Make sure the plus side is facing down. Reassemble the outer casing and test to confirm that it's functioning properly.
You should now be in a position to start your car by pressing any button on your fob. You can also test the connection by pressing any button in the dashboard of your car. Contact the service center of Boch Nissan South for assistance if you have questions regarding your Nissan vehicle or need assistance.

If it stops working, even after a program and battery replacement, there may be another issue to be considered. In certain cases the fob that has been damaged might require replacement parts or repairs to the circuit board in order to function normally. Damage can result from many factors, including water, blunt force or scratches on the circuit board.
A professional will inspect your Intelligent Key to determine if it's damaged and determine if it needs repairs or replacement. In some cases the issue can be repaired by a simple, affordable fix. For more severe problems, however, the key might need to be replaced.

Keyless Entry
We have some good news for you if you believe that your key fob does little more than unlock and lock your car. Certain modern fobs can actually roll down the windows of your car or begin it when you press the key on the rear bumper.
In contrast to the traditional key, which simply has two or three locks, the modern systems are built on RFID technology. The key fob comes with a microchip that has a unique frequency. This enables it to communicate with the receiver of your car and open the trunk or doors. The majority of models will recognize you as you drive up to the car using your key fob and automatically unlock it.
Some models allow you to open the trunk by waggling your key behind the car. This is a great feature in the event that you have a large amount of groceries or luggage in your hands. The key fob also has a button to enable you to start your car by pressing it on the steering wheel. The system can also be activated by pressing the clutch or brake when you press the START/STOP switch.
