Misplaced your Nissan's keyless transponder? Did you drop your fob and break it? Regardless of what happened, getting a working replacement Keyless Entry Transmitter, and another one to spare is critical.

Many of the latest Nissan models have keyless entry features. This system requires a specially-programmed remote or “fob.” This fob emits a distinctive frequency that signals your car's onboard computer to perform various functions.

In your Nissan model, it may open the trunk with a button as you rush to the car toting groceries. In other Nissan cars, pressing the Keyless Entry Transmitter might just unlock the doors, and in different Nissans, the engine won't crank till the Keyless Entry Transmitter is close to or inside the cabin.

Because this fob is “key” to unlocking your car's vital functions, it's not surprising how inconvenient misplacing, breaking, or getting yours stolen can be. Plus, if your spare Keyless Entry Transmitter is compromised too, you may not be able to unlock or start your car at all! Aside from visible signs of deterioration, some signs that you need a new Keyless Entry Transmitter might be signal weakening, slow response times, and having to press buttons multiple times to get your fob to perform a normal task.

The best course of action is to secure a new Keyless Entry Transmitter replacement that's fully compatible with your Nissan. And the smartest way to buy the right fob is to shop Nissan Parts & Accessories first. Once you receive your new Keyless Entry Transmitter, head to the closest Nissan expert for help programming it to sync with your vehicle, and ensure every button and function works as it's supposed to!

Get a new Keyless Entry Transmitter that's compatible with your Nissan Cube, Nissan Juke, or Nissan NV200 by shopping Nissan Parts & Accessories. See the What This Fits tab for specifics. And, don't forget the spare!
