Your Local Nissan Key Specialist
I'm Dean — a specialist mobile auto locksmith based in Honiton with over 15 years of experience, including regular work on Nissan vehicles. Nissan uses the NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System) immobiliser to pair keys to the vehicle — a chip-based system that stores key codes in the BCM (Body Control Module). Whether you've lost your Nissan keys, need a spare Nissan key cut and programmed, or your Nissan NATS light is on and the car won't start, I carry AUTEL and Xhorse equipment built for the full Nissan range.
Unlike a main dealer, I come to you — home, workplace, car park or roadside — and complete the Nissan key programming on-site. The Nissan Qashqai is the UK's best-selling SUV and one of my most frequent Nissan callouts — whether it's a lost key, a flat Intelligent Key fob, or a NATS immobiliser fault, I carry the equipment to resolve it the same day.
The Nissan Leaf adds an interesting variable: as an electric vehicle it has no engine start in the conventional sense, but the Intelligent Key still controls access and the immobiliser still needs to recognise the key before the car will accept a drive command. Key programming on the Leaf is handled through the EV control modules, which my equipment is built to work with. For further reading on car key security, Which? offers useful consumer guidance.
Nissan Key Types We Work With
Nissan has used several key and entry technologies across its range over the years. I work with all of them:
Nissan Intelligent Key
Nissan's smart proximity key system for push-button start and keyless entry.
Nissan Flip Keys
Fold-out blade keys with integrated remote on older Micra and Note.
Nissan Keyless Entry
Detect-and-go entry on newer Qashqai, X-Trail and Juke.
Nissan NATS Transponder Keys
Chip-coded keys that pair with the NATS immobiliser module.
Nissan Card Keys
Slim card-format keys used on some older models.
Nissan EV Keys
Intelligent Keys on the Nissan Leaf and Ariya EV platform.

Our Nissan Auto Locksmith Services
Nissan Key Replacement (Lost Keys)
Lost all your Nissan keys? No original needed. Using your VIN and NATS data I create a complete replacement key from scratch on-site. See lost car keys.
Spare Nissan Keys
A spare Nissan key is the best insurance against a future lockout. I cut and programme spares for all Nissan models on-site — Intelligent Keys, flip keys and Leaf EV keys — far cheaper than an emergency replacement later.
Nissan Leaf & EV Key Programming
Nissan Leaf and Ariya Intelligent Key programming is within scope. The process works through the EV control modules rather than a conventional engine immobiliser — same-day mobile service.
Nissan Key Programming
Nissan key programming via the NATS BCM module. My AUTEL equipment programmes new keys, syncs Intelligent Key fobs and resolves NATS coding faults — at your location.
Nissan Key Fob Repairs
A Nissan key fob that's stopped working often just needs a new battery, button repair or reprogramming. I diagnose and repair before recommending a replacement.
Nissan Broken Key Extraction
Snapped a Nissan key in the door or barrel? I safely extract the broken blade and cut a fresh working key on-site.
Common Nissan Issues We See
Across thousands of Nissan callouts, certain faults come up again and again. If you're experiencing any of these, I can help:
Recent Nissan Job — Plymouth
Nissan Qashqai — Lost Only Intelligent Key
A customer lost the only Intelligent Key to a 2019 Nissan Qashqai in Plymouth. Without the key the car couldn't be accessed or started. I attended the same day, gained non-destructive entry, read the NATS BCM module, programmed a new Intelligent Key on-site, and deleted the missing key from the system for security. The customer was back on the road the same afternoon — at well below the Nissan dealer quote, no recovery vehicle, and no wait.
Main Dealer vs DB Car Keys
For most Nissan key and lock jobs, a mobile specialist saves you time and money compared with a main dealer:
| Main Dealer | DB Car Keys | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting the car there | ✗Recovery often needed | ✓We come to you |
| Waiting time | ✗Days, parts ordered | ✓Same day |
| Pricing | ✗Higher | ✓Typically lower |
| Where the work happens | ✗Workshop visit | ✓Mobile, at your location |
| Availability | ✗Business hours | ✓24/7 emergency |
