Mechanical Keys
Nissan models come with a range of modern keys that allow you to drive as smooth and secure as possible. These intricately designed components including smart key technology to immobilizers to push-button ignitions, work as a well-planned puzzle to ensure your safety on the roads and safeguard your vehicle against unauthorized entry. But, as with all systems they require regular maintenance to ensure maximum performance. This includes key programming and reprogramming which ensures that your vehicle's security systems and key systems are in operation.
To program a mechanical lock, you'll need the key in your ignition and running the engine. This way, the ignition will detect the presence of a key and will activate its electronics so that you can enter your vehicle. This is a bit tricky, as you must be aware of the exact way to press down on the key and when to stop pressing it. If you don't do it correctly, the car will turn off and the key will become useless.
The key switches of a mechanical lock are different from a conventional switch. Instead of sliding, key switches feature an elongated buckling spring that expands outward when it collides with an internal hammer, which closes an electrical circuit. This activates a sensor that sends a signal to a computer, which recognizes the key as valid. Once the signal has been registered the vehicle will open itself and begin to move.
Mechanical keys are more versatile than smart keys. You can use them to operate the push start feature of a vehicle in the event that you have the key fob's battery charged and you are able to locate your truck's key fob. You can insert an actual key into a functioning fob and activate the push-start button by pressing the brake pedal while pushing the start button.
As long as you have registered all your other keys in the NATS system and lost a mechanical key, it will not affect your ability drive your Nissan. The NATS system will not prevent the vehicle from starting if a key that is not registered is used, but it may prevent the owner from using any other ignition keys to operate the vehicle.
Transponder Keys
Transponder keys contain an embedded microchip that transmits signals to a car when they are inserted in the ignition. These signals determine the unique code of the key and when they match, the vehicle will start. Transponder keys are the most popular type of car key on the market today. They aren't a simple duplicate at the hardware store in your neighborhood and provide an additional level of security for your vehicle. If you have a transponder car key and you're locked out of your vehicle and need help, contact the locksmiths at Great Valley Lockshop to help you get back on the road.
The reason for creating transponder keys was to fix a problem that had existed since the advent of cars. In the past it was easy to steal cars by connecting two wires to start the motor. Transponder keys were invented to prevent this. Each key emits an indication when put into the ignition. This signal is an "password" unique to the person who owns the key, allowing them to start the vehicle. The car won't start if the signal isn't the same. This is an additional protection against car theft and has proven to be very effective.
Transponder keys are usually more expensive than keys that aren't, however, the cost could be worth it if are concerned about security. In addition, some cars have immobilizer systems which stop the engine from starting if a non-transponder keys is used. The immobilizer cannot be accessed using the code reader to copy the information from the original key and then creating a new one with the same information.
A non-transponder key can still be used with these immobilizer systems, but it will need to have a cut in the top and bottom of the key in order to allow proper control of the ignition. It will also need to have a specific groove on the end that fits into the ignition. It is important to know that there are a few cars that are compatible with keys of both types, and you should talk to your locksmith in the area to determine which one is the best match for your requirements.
Keyless Entry Fobs
Modern Nissan models utilize keyless entry fobs to unlock doors and start engines. These tiny devices in the shape of keys are equipped with a microchip, which communicates with the onboard computer of your vehicle. The microchip generates a number that matches a code stored in the car's system. This code disables the engine immobilizer in your car and allows you to start it. The technology behind key fobs is akin to remotes that control the car's air conditioning and sound system.
Smart key systems for Nissans offer many advantages. They make access easier and secure, and they can even be used to open the trunk. The keyless boot opening feature is useful when you require storage for bulky items or groceries in a hurry.
A smart key can serve as a digital wallet that can save your credit and debit card information. Depending on the model you'll be able to use it to make payments at restaurants and other establishments that accept mobile payment applications. Some smart keys have additional features, such as the ability to locate your keys and a panic button that activates your emergency brake.
