Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

2015 Infiniti QX60 Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I was up in the Hillsides in Ventura on a Tuesday when a QX60 owner called about a spare key. Not a lost key situation, just a second fob for her husband. Seemed simple enough.

She had the original working fob, car was in the driveway, weather was good. The kind of job that should go textbook. And it mostly did, except when I pulled up the key registry through the diagnostic port, I could see the vehicle had already hit its stored fob limit from a previous owner. Someone had registered fobs and never cleared them out before the car was sold. Happens more than people expect on pre-owned luxury vehicles.

So instead of a quick add-a-key, I had to run the full erase and re-register both her existing fob and the new one. She watched me work from the front porch. When I explained what I found and what I was doing about it, she seemed more curious than frustrated. Said the dealership never mentioned any of that when she bought the car.

Both fobs came up clean, all five buttons working, push-to-start solid. Total time was about 55 minutes instead of 20. She still paid a fraction of what the dealer had quoted her just for the spare.

The dealer quote didn't include any diagnostic check of what was already stored in the system. That kind of thing only shows up when someone actually connects the right tools and looks.
