The Qashqai is a British success that has helped shape the market for crossovers. It's comfortable and well-appointed, with the top of the line Tekna with a head-up display and larger 19-inch wheels.
Transponder Keys
Nissan keys are equipped with transponder chips in most models. These chips disable your car's immobilizer system so that nobody can start your car without your consent. This can save you lots of money on repair and replacement costs.
There are two kinds of transponder keys which are rolling code and crypto. Transponders that roll code transmit data both ways between the key and the car's computer. The car's computer checks the information sent by the key then alters the chip's coding. This is done in a secure manner so that nobody can steal the data.
Crypto transponders transmit information in a more private manner. These keys are encrypted and can't be duplicated. However there are ways to circumvent this. First, you need to remove the cover from the key fob using an pliers or screwdriver. The next step is to remove the chip from the keyfob and place it on a piece of adhesive tape. The tape needs to be attached to the ignition lock. Once you have done this, start the car using the new key. If this doesn't work move the tape around and try again.
If your key is missing or not working, contact locksmith. Locksmiths can replace your key quickly and at a lesser cost than a dealership. These experts have the equipment to reprogram your Nissan key if it has been lost.

Key Batteries
It's actually quite simple to replace the battery on your key fob. Nissan key fobs are powered by a standard coin-sized disc-shaped battery, referred to as a CR2032 (the numbers indicate battery size). These batteries are readily available in any retailer that sells standard coin-sized batteries. They last for a long time, too, since they're used primarily for leisure and don't have any connection with the car.
Check that your key fob's display has an indicator light for low battery. If it does, this is an indication that the battery needs to be replaced. When you have a new battery the key fob should be able to snap back into place when it's aligned correctly.
Another thing to be aware of is that each Nissan key fob comes with an extra standard key hidden inside. The key can be used in a pinch as an actual key to open your doors and start the vehicle.
