For an update of the spare key and predicament for imports---mine is 2003 ---and I would like a spare. Researching has brought me to this---Nissan dealer jn Cambridge wants £90 plus cost to re-programme the key. They cannot guarantee that as it is an import that it would be succesful. In this regard I contacted several if not many local/national key cutters/carkeyspecialists. 3 positive dealers (one in Peterborough-one in east London-one in Whittlesey Cambs) all said I needed the security code for the key to be re-programmed. Back to Marshals here in Cambridge; who with due deference to me as a customer gave me a telephone number of Nissan Uk customer service. Bless them. Anyway Nissan uk gave me the e mail address and tel. No. In Japan (0081335435523) (postoffice@nissan.co.jp)for Nissan customer care for me to contact---with my chassis number---to request said code number.
The dealers in Peterborough said that if I left the car for the day they could find this number on the immobiliser and proceed with that--rather than the number from Japan. Anyway with that info I have bought for £9.99 plus £2 post from e bay (ref item no. 290318777993) a key with the transponder inside. The guy I spoke to said he could code this key for £100. I am going to at least get this key cut to be able to be able to access the car (in the unlikely event of losing this now precious item) to get me at least half way there. In the meantime I will be arranging to go back to Whittlesey (nearer and easier for me ) for the guy to code a key for me (£65) once I get the security code back?? from Japan??
