1998 Infiniti Q45 Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A restaurant owner near Richland in San Marcos had been nursing his 1998 Q45 ignition for a few weeks. He'd developed a whole routine: wiggle the key a certain way, wait, try again. Some mornings it cooperated. Others it didn't. He figured it was a programming issue, maybe something with the transponder, and the dealer told him he'd need a new cylinder, a new key, and a full reprogramming job. He was a day away from booking it when his valet mentioned me.
I met him in the parking lot before his dinner service. Watched him demonstrate the wiggle. That told me most of what I needed to know before I even touched anything.
The cylinder was worn, not dead. The wafers had lost enough material that the key was binding on the turn instead of engaging cleanly. I decoded the lock, swapped the worn wafers, and cut a fresh key matched to the repaired cylinder. Then I registered the transponder chip so the immobilizer would recognize it and the engine would actually start. Took one visit. Done before his first table sat down.
I kept the old wafers out and showed him the wear pattern. He held them up and looked at them for a moment, then said he'd had the car for six years and never thought about what was inside the ignition. The dealer would have replaced the whole assembly. He didn't need any of that.

“I had two Subaru key fobs made and Marco provided excellent service. He stayed persistent through multiple part orders to make sure everything was correct. Very thorough, punctual, and great communication throughout.”
“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”
“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”
