🔐 How Nissan Smart Keys Work (Simplified)
Unlike older mechanical keys:
✔ Nissan smart keys communicate with the immobiliser ECU
✔ Proximity keys allow push-button start
✔ Transponder chips provide secure authentication
✔ Rolling coded signals prevent theft
Even if a key is cut correctly, without proper programming the vehicle won’t start.
