2018 Nissan Kicks Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Out in Hillsides on a Sunday morning, a man flagged me down in a parking lot near the temple. He had already paid another locksmith the week before for a new smart key for his 2018 Kicks. The car would start, idle for about two seconds, then die. Every time. The other tech had told him it was a module problem and stopped returning calls.
It wasn't a module problem.
When the immobilizer registration sequence gets rushed or cut short, the vehicle can accept the key data temporarily, show a successful write on cheaper tools, and still not commit it to permanent memory. The car acts like it recognizes the key just long enough to crank, then the security system kills it. That's exactly what was happening here.
I connected through the OBD port with my diagnostic equipment, pulled up the immobilizer registration status, and confirmed the prior programming was incomplete. The key data was sitting there half-written. I cleared it, ran a clean all-keys-lost registration with the full timed security sequence, and watched the confirmation come through on screen. Then I did what you always do after a job like this: tested the start three times cold, walked every button on the fob, checked the door handle passive unlock on both front doors, and verified the emergency blade seated correctly in the door cylinder.
He watched the whole thing. When it started clean on the third try with no cutoff, he just nodded like he'd been waiting a week to see that and wasn't going to celebrate until it happened twice more.
The dealer quote he'd gotten originally was more than what the two locksmiths combined had cost him. I couldn't undo what the first tech charged. But I could make sure the job held.

“I lost my Honda Passport key and called EZ Car Keyz. He came out and made a new key in under five minutes. Legendary service.”
“They responded instantly, showed up within an hour, and arrived exactly when they said they would. Made a copy and programmed a fob for my 2014 car with a worn ignition in about 15 minutes. The new key works perfectly and feels like a dealer key.”
“About 15 minutes after calling, he was already at my home. I had lost my original Ford key and he made and programmed a new one on the spot. Very fast, very professional.”
