2020 Nissan Leaf Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
I got a call from a guy in the Carmel Valley part of Del Mar. Swing shift electrician, came home late, Leaf parked in the driveway, and the fob just stopped being recognized. Push-button start showing a key-not-detected warning, no response from the door handles, emergency insert key just to get inside. He'd already looked up tow companies and was mentally planning his week around a dealer appointment that wouldn't happen until Thursday.
I told him to stay put.
First thing I checked on arrival was the 12-volt accessory battery. These get overlooked on EVs constantly because owners assume "the battery" means the big one. The 12V was weak enough to cause grief but not so dead that everything was obviously off. That's the worst range to be in because the system acts erratic instead of just failing cleanly.
After addressing the 12V situation, I connected my diagnostic tool through the OBD port and ran the all-keys-lost procedure for the Nissan Intelligent Key system. The process walks through the immobilizer handshake, clears the old key memory, and registers fresh fobs. His original fob, the factory one with the dealer part number on the back, came back online and his car recognized it like nothing had happened. I tested every button, walked the door handles, and confirmed push-button start was working before I packed up.
It was about 11:30 at night. He was back on his schedule with zero tow, zero dealer visit, zero waiting until Thursday. The dealer comparison didn't even come up until he asked. I just told him it was a fraction of what they'd have charged, and that was that.

What certified service looks like in reviews
“I needed two keys made for my Honda Element. Friendly, fast, fair pricing, and far better than any other locksmith I have used in the area. Best service by far.”
“I lost my Honda Passport key and called EZ Car Keyz. He came out and made a new key in under five minutes. Legendary service.”
“They responded instantly, showed up within an hour, and arrived exactly when they said they would. Made a copy and programmed a fob for my 2014 car with a worn ignition in about 15 minutes. The new key works perfectly and feels like a dealer key.”
