2007 Nissan Armada Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A guy out in Heritage Valley called me about his 2007 Armada. He had one key left, and it was held together with a rubber band because the plastic housing had cracked at the base where the blade meets the fob body. The rubber band was doing a lot of work. He was nervous about losing the last key entirely before he could get a spare made.

I pulled up to his place with the Armada in the driveway. Before I even touched the programming side of the job, I looked at that surviving key carefully. The housing crack had put stress on the battery contacts inside, and the CR1620 was sitting slightly tilted. The remote had felt unreliable for weeks, and that was why.

I cut the new blade to match, connected to the OBD port, and ran the immobilizer registration sequence for both keys at once. The security countdown on these takes a moment, so I just let it run while he told me about a camping trip he had been putting off because he did not want to be stranded at a trailhead with a failing key.

When the programming finished I tested both remotes, walked about thirty feet back, cycled lock and unlock, and did three clean start cycles. Then I showed him where the battery seat is on the new key housing so he would know what to check first if the remote ever started acting up again before a battery dies completely.

He had called the dealer earlier that week. They quoted him a wait time and a number that made him pause. He called me instead, and we were done in his driveway before his lunch break ended.
