2010 Nissan Maxima Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A mobile dog groomer over in the Loma Vista neighborhood in Ventura was vacuuming out her van at the car wash when her only working Intelligent Key for her 2010 Maxima quit responding. Push button start, nothing. Doors, nothing. Just the "I/KEY" warning light on the dash and a car full of grooming gear going nowhere.
She had already called the Nissan dealer. They told her to tow it in, schedule an appointment, and wait. She called me instead.
I met her at the car wash that evening. The 2010 Maxima runs the NATS5 immobilizer, which talks to the Intelligent Key through proximity antennas in each door handle, the cabin, and the trunk. Her fob shell was fine, but the transponder inside had stopped being recognized by the BCM. I connected through the OBD port, read the BCM, generated a new 46 chip profile on my VVDI, and registered it to her system.
Lock, unlock, trunk, panic. Then push to start, engine running, "I/KEY" light off. All confirmed while her van sat in the same parking spot.
She watched the whole thing from about three feet away. When the engine turned over, she just looked at the steering wheel for a second like she was waiting for it to act up again.
The car does not care whether the key was programmed at a dealer bay or a car wash vacuum station. The NATS5 handshake is identical either way, and she drove off that night for a fraction of what the dealer quoted.

“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”
“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”
“Needed a spare car key made and chose EZ Car Keyz based on their reviews. The reviews were right. They gave me the best price, responded quickly to all my questions, came to my workplace, cut the keys on site, and finished fast.”
