2008 Nissan Armada Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Got a call from a woman in Fillmore, over near the Heritage Valley Tourism Bureau, expecting a baby and needing a spare smart key for her 2008 Nissan Armada. She told me right away she'd already looked up my BSIS license, LCO 6792, before dialing. Fair enough.

Her last locksmith had no license number on the receipt, no company name, and a phone number that went dead two days later. She wasn't doing that again.

I pulled up to the parking lot and got to work. NASTF access gave me the factory security data for her Armada's NATS5 immobilizer, which is how I get the PIN and registration path for the Intelligent Key system. Her fob, CWTWBU624 with part number 285E3-ZQ31A, paired on the first cycle through the diagnostic port. Cut the emergency insert blade on site, tested all four buttons, ran the push-button start twice cold, checked the door handle proximity sensors on both front doors.

While I was running tests she asked if the spare would mess with her original key. It won't. The BCM on these stores up to five key IDs. Adding one doesn't touch the others.

She got a real receipt with a license number, a real phone number, and a company name printed on the side of a van she could see from where she was standing. The dealer had quoted her almost double and a week wait for the part. She was done in about 40 minutes.
