2008 Nissan Maxima Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

If you're reading this because you have zero keys for your 2008 Nissan Maxima and need help right now, here's what to do. First, find your VIN. It's a 17-character code on the bottom left of your windshield on the driver's side, also on your registration and insurance card. Second, have your ID ready because I need to verify ownership before making any key. Third, know where the car is and whether you can stay with it. Then call me.

An overnight stocker called from a taco truck lot in Spring Valley at 11pm. He was pretty panicked. His only key to his Maxima was gone. He didn't have his registration, couldn't remember what a VIN was, and was about to call a tow just to get the car somewhere safe.

I walked him through it on the phone. I told him to look through the windshield at the base of the glass, driver's side, and he found the VIN. I told him his insurance app probably had his registration, and it did. With the VIN, I already knew his key type and could prep the right blank before arriving. I used my VVDI Key Tool to generate a fresh transponder matched to his car's immobilizer. His fob, FCC ID CWTWBU735, was a 4-button Intelligent Key that I built and programmed under the parking lot lights. He calmed down a lot once I told him I was on my way with everything I needed.

He drove home that night. His total was $259. Dealer would have charged $444 plus a tow, and they were closed. The VIN is the single most useful piece of information you can give me.
