1998 Infiniti Q45 Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a call from a woman near Olivas Adobe in Ventura who had a 1998 Q45 sitting in her driveway for two days. Her only key had snapped off in the ignition. The blade broke right at the bow, leaving the tip wedged in the cylinder.
She already called the Infiniti dealer. They told her the car would need to be towed in, the ignition cylinder might need replacing, and the whole thing could take a few days. She didn't love that answer.
I drove out and took a look. The broken blade tip was visible, just barely, sitting past the first wafer set. I extracted the broken piece with a hook pick, no cylinder damage. Then I decoded the lock with my NSN11 Lishi tool, read the wafer depths right off the cylinder, and cut a fresh key on my HPC Blitz machine in the van.
The harder part was the transponder. The 1998 Q45 uses NATS version 5 with a Philips ID41 chip. I cloned her original chip data from the broken key head onto a new T5 glass transponder, seated it in a fresh key shell, and tested. NATS light went solid, engine fired on the first turn.
She sat on her porch watching the whole thing. When it started, she just nodded, like she was relieved but not surprised it could be that simple. The whole job took about 40 minutes, right there in her driveway, for a fraction of what the dealer quoted.

“This is the only locksmith anyone should ever call. I am still shocked at how fast he arrived and the price was hundreds less than other quotes I received. Honest, professional, and extremely efficient.”
“Locked out on a weekend night and everyone else wanted $300+. EZ Car Keyz sent Roman late at night for much less. He worked for over an hour and did not give up until the door opened. They even made a new key on the spot.”
“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.”
