Nissan Versa Keys & Fobs
The Versa's key changed with its generations. Older first-gen Versas (mid-2000s through early 2010s) use a transponder key with a metal blade that has to be cut and chip-programmed to the car. Most 2012-2019 Versa sedans and Versa Note hatchbacks run a remote-head key (the blade and the lock/unlock buttons share one fob) on Nissan's transponder system. The redesigned 2020-and-newer Versa moved to push-to-start trims that use a proximity (smart) fob, while base manual-transmission models still take a remote-head key. Any of these needs the transponder or smart fob registered to your Versa's immobilizer with a programmer; cutting alone won't start the engine. We pull your code by VIN and program on-site, including all-keys-lost when you've got nothing left to clone from.
A common Versa headache is the remote-head key itself wearing out. The buttons stop responding or the blade cracks where it folds, and owners assume the whole key died when it's often just a worn shell or a dead coin battery (a CR2032 in most of these fobs). We can re-shell a good chip into a fresh case or cut and program a brand-new remote-head key. On the 2020+ smart-fob Versas, a weak fob battery often shows up as the car not detecting the key on push-to-start; swapping the coin cell usually fixes it before you ever need a new fob.

Spare key with a working key in hand: from $75. Full replacement, no key at all: from $189. Smart and proximity fobs price above basic chip keys; the exact flat number comes with your VIN on the call.
Trim and market can change the fob, and several IDs often fit one model year. We confirm the exact part by VIN on every job, so a mismatched guess never reaches your driveway.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. All-keys-lost is routine on the Versa. We pull your key code by VIN, cut a new blade, and program the transponder or smart fob straight to your car's immobilizer on-site. No working key needed to start the process.
It needs programming. A fob you buy online is blank to your car. The blade has to be cut to your Versa and the chip registered to the immobilizer, or the engine won't crank. We handle both the cutting and the programming when we come out.
It depends on your year and fob type. A transponder or remote-head key for an older Versa runs less than a 2020+ push-to-start smart fob, which costs more for the proximity electronics. Either way we're typically well under dealer pricing, and you skip the tow since we come to you.
Yes. A 2014 Versa takes the remote-head key, with blade and buttons in one fob on Nissan's transponder system, which we cut and register to the immobilizer at the car. Older first-gen chip keys and the 2020-and-up smart fobs on push-to-start trims are routine too. Every Versa year; the VIN picks the blank.
It depends on the year. 2007-2011 Nissan Versa: CWTWB1U751; 2012-2019 Nissan Versa: CWTWB1U840; 2020-2024 Nissan Versa: KR5TXN1. The ID is printed on the back of your fob case. Trim and market can change it, so we confirm the exact part by VIN before the van rolls out.
