2010 Nissan 370z Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Out in Wildwood, Thousand Oaks, I got a call from a guy who'd owned his 2010 370z for three years on a single key. No spare. He'd been meaning to get one cut. You know how that goes.

The housing had cracked along the seam, probably from being dropped more than once, and when he finally noticed the fob was in two pieces, the car wouldn't detect it at the start button. He'd been pressing it for ten minutes before he called me.

I drove out and took a look. The fob body had split clean, but the internal board and the transponder were still intact inside the broken shell. That mattered a lot. Because I had the original registered key hardware in hand, I could read what I needed and avoid going the all-keys-lost route, which takes longer and costs more. All-keys-lost on this system means resetting the immobilizer from scratch with diagnostic equipment, a timed process that adds real time to the job. Having even a broken original key changes that completely.

I transferred the data into a new shell, cut a fresh blade to match, verified the key at the door and the start button, then registered a second key on the same session so he'd have a spare for the first time since he bought the car.

He stood there and watched the whole thing in his driveway, which I like. He could see the chip from the cracked fob, still good, just rattling around inside a broken case. That visual made it click for him.

Went from zero working keys to two working keys. Done in the driveway, no tow, no dealer appointment a week out. The dealer had given him a number that made him pause before he even said it out loud.
