Nissan · Infiniti · Tampa, FL
An Altima in the apartment lot, a Rogue at the grocery store, a Frontier on a job, a QX60 in the driveway: when the Intelligent Key goes missing, the key-start key wears out, or the car stops seeing the fob, Zoom Locksmith comes to the car and makes the replacement there. We program the new Intelligent Key or chip key, cut the mechanical key, and test everything with you. Call with the VIN or the year and model for a free quote.
Nissan keys
Nissan calls its push-button smart key the Intelligent Key, and so does Infiniti. Many Altimas, Rogues and Pathfinders from the last decade use one, along with plenty of Sentras and Kicks and most Infinitis. The car senses the key in your pocket or bag, unlocks when you touch the door handle and starts with the button on the dash.
Every Intelligent Key hides a mechanical key. Press the release on the fob and slide it out — that key opens the driver’s door when the battery dies or the fob stops working. On many newer Nissans the door’s keyhole sits under a small cap on the handle; the manual shows how to pop it off with the key. Many Nissans will also start with a dead Intelligent Key if you touch the key to the start button.
Base trims of several models still start with a key you turn — a Frontier work truck, an older Sentra or Versa — using a chip key, often with the lock buttons on the key head. And on many Nissans, programming a new key re-registers the whole set at once, so any key that isn’t there when we program can stop working. Bring them all.
The newest Nissans and Infinitis can need extra security steps or a key ordered ahead of time. We check your year from the VIN first, and if your exact vehicle turns out to be a dealer-only job, the dispatcher tells you before anyone drives out.
How it works
Find every Nissan key you have, working or not, and call with the VIN or the year and model. Say whether it’s push-button or key-start. You get a free quote on the phone.
Apartment lot, grocery store, work site or driveway — the tech drives to the car. Before programming, we confirm your photo ID against the registration.
The new Intelligent Key or chip key is programmed to the car alongside every key you have, and the mechanical key is cut to your door.
We check that each key — the new one and the ones you already had — opens the doors and starts the car before we leave.

Mobile across Tampa Bay
A push-button Nissan with no key doesn’t move, so we go to it — an Altima at a Brandon apartment complex, a Rogue outside a grocery store in New Port Richey, a Frontier at a job in Riverview. Lost every key? See lost car key replacement. Fob acting up but still in your hand? See key fob & push-to-start replacement.
Key-start Sentra or Frontier with a key that won’t turn or snapped off? That’s an ignition repair job, handled where the car is parked.

FAQ
It’s Nissan’s name for its push-button smart key, used on many Nissans and on Infinitis. The car senses it nearby, unlocks at the door handle and starts with the button. A mechanical key hides inside for the door. We replace and program them at the car.
Not always. A weak fob battery is the first thing to suspect — try a fresh one, and on many Nissans you can start the car by touching the Intelligent Key to the start button. If the message stays, or the fob is damaged or lost, we program a replacement.
On many Nissans, programming a key re-registers the full set, and any key that isn’t present stops working. Bring every key you have and we program them together, so none is left out.
Yes, for most model years. Infiniti is Nissan’s luxury brand and uses the same kind of Intelligent Key. Call with the VIN so we can confirm the key before we come out.
Usually not — we program the key where the car is parked, with no tow and no dealer appointment. The newest models can need extra security steps or a key ordered first, and if your exact vehicle turns out to be a dealer-only job, the dispatcher tells you before anyone drives out.
We’re out Monday through Saturday, 8am to 8pm, and closed Sundays. Leave the car parked and call when we open at 8am the next open day. If a child or a pet is ever shut inside a vehicle, call 911 first.
