2024 Nissan Kicks Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
I got a call from a guy in the Lomas Santa Fe area of Solana Beach. He drove nights and his 2024 Kicks had developed a habit of refusing to detect his fob by the end of each shift. It started the car fine in the morning. By evening, push-to-start would go dark on him and throw a key-not-detected warning. He'd already been to another locksmith. A replacement key had been made about eight days before.
He figured it was an electrical gremlin. It wasn't.
When I pulled up and he handed me the key, something was immediately off. I ran a read on the fob and on what had been programmed into the vehicle. The chip in his replacement key was wrong for this application. And here's the part that catches people off guard: a mismatched chip can pass the first few start cycles. The vehicle's security system does a shallow check on initial enrollment, but over multiple cold starts and full security cycles, it goes deeper. A chip that's close but not correct gets caught eventually. That's what happened to his key. It worked for a week and then started failing intermittently as the system's verification routine kept finding a mismatch.
On top of that, the CR2032 in the fob was already running low, which made the intermittent detection problem worse and harder to pin down without proper equipment.
I programmed a fresh fob matched correctly to his vehicle, confirmed all four buttons, walked every door, and verified push-to-start on the first try and again after a key-off cycle. The replacement has been solid since.
The dealer was never really in the conversation. He just wanted it fixed that evening, on site, for a fraction of what the dealer had quoted him when he first called them about the problem.

“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”
“I called over 40 locksmiths trying to get a key made for my Audi A6 and nobody could do it. Tim made it easy, fast, and affordable. He showed up with a smile and got the job done without any stress. Absolute wizard with keys.”
“My Chevy key snapped while I was running errands in North Oxnard. He removed the broken piece from the ignition, cut a new blade, programmed the transponder, and tested everything thoroughly. The whole job was smooth and professional. Best automotive locksmith I have used.”
