1997 Infiniti Q45
Mobile Key Service - Unbeatable Price in Ventura County

Q: What is a transponder key?

A transponder key is the type of key your 1997 Infiniti Q45 uses. It contains a programmed transponder chip that communicates with your vehicle NATS immobilizer and BCM to authorize the engine to start. It also has 3 buttons for remote lock, unlock, and other functions. Without proper programming through Nissan/Infiniti diagnostic tools, even a perfectly cut key will be rejected by your Infiniti security system. We program everything on site so your new key works exactly like the original.

Q: How long does the dealer process take for Infiniti key replacement?

Longer than most Infiniti owners expect. Dealers often need to order your intelligent key by VIN, which can mean several business days of waiting. Owners in key-order discussions report being told 2 to 3 days but then chasing the service department when parts do not show up on time. Once the key arrives, expect at least an hour at the dealer for programming and testing. One FX owner described their SUV sitting for two weeks before finally sending it to the dealer. With EZ Car Keyz, the job is done in one visit at your location.

Q: What is the FCC ID for the 1997 Infiniti Q45 key?

The FCC ID is N/A. This is the identifier printed on the back of your key fob that tells us exactly which key your vehicle requires. It ensures we match the correct blank, chip frequency, and remote protocol so the key programs correctly on the first attempt. Having this number ready when you call speeds up the process and confirms we are bringing the right key to your location.

Q: What areas do you cover?

We cover all of Ventura near Ventura Performing Arts Center and surrounding communities. Our mobile service comes directly to your location whether you are at home, at work, in a parking lot, or on the side of the road. Infiniti dealers are less common than Nissan stores, so owners in smaller markets may face longer drives and multi-day waits for a service slot and a shipped fob. We bring the shop to you with all the tools and key blanks needed for your Infiniti on board.

🔧 PRO TIP

Infiniti does not have a built-in fob sleep mode like some German brands. To reduce relay theft risk, you can disable passive handle entry in your Comfort Settings menu or have a dealer turn off I-Key proximity with CONSULT.

1997 Infiniti Q45 Transponder key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A recent college grad in Ventura had just bought a used 1997 Infiniti Q45 from a Carmax lot. Nice car, fair price, but it came with one key. The salesperson told him to get a spare on his own.

He called the Infiniti dealer and they wanted 316 for a spare transponder key. He'd just financed his first real car and another few hundred for a key wasn't in the plan. He found EZ Car Keyz online and asked if the dealer price was standard for a luxury brand. I told him it was, but the programming is identical to Nissan under the skin, and I do the same job for 138.

I met him at the Carmax lot before he drove the car home. His key uses FCC ID , which tells me the exact remote frequency, button count, and chip type. I matched the fob, cut the emergency blade, and used my VVDI2 to pull the PIN and program the smart key. Infiniti uses the same Nissan architecture underneath, so the procedure is well documented and I run it every week.

His spare works identical to the original. Lock, unlock, trunk, start, all buttons. He drove home with two working keys, and that second key means if one disappears, the replacement is a quick add-a-key instead of a full all-keys-lost job.

The dealer charges double for the same key. We charge fairly. Call EZ Car Keyz and save.

“Super fast service. About 20 minutes from the call he was already there. He had an authentic replacement on hand and made a spare key for my 2017 Nissan Rogue in about 15 minutes. Great prices, friendly, and very professional.”

Do I have to go to the Infiniti dealer to get a replacement key?▼

No. A qualified mobile locksmith with Nissan/Infiniti-specific tooling can cut and program a transponder key for your 1997 Infiniti Q45 right where the vehicle sits. Many Infiniti owners assume the dealer is the only option because it is a luxury brand. A 2023 QX50 owner contacted multiple locksmiths in their area and nobody could do it until they found an Infiniti specialist. The right locksmith has the tools. The wrong one will tell you only the dealer can help.
