I'm now proficient at replacing intelligent key batteries. I should also talk to our local dealer about the tech service bulletin for greasing the 'click' on the spline of the front axle of our 2015 Leaf. I'll buy three of the refurbished fobs (assuming their definition of 'refurbished' includes a warranty) and talk to our local locksmiths & dealers. I was concerned that there'd be some glitch about 'under these conditions with this Leaf, only a brand-new intelligent key will work' or 'that works great on a 2017 but not a 2015'. OTOH a proven used or refurbished unit is guaranteed to not be dead out of the box.

The only real advantage to buying new is you can usually get some sort of warranty with it.

Other than price, is there any difference among buying: While we could afford to pay full retail for two more keys in our 2017 Leaf and another one in our 2015 Leaf, I’d prefer to keep old keys out of the e-waste landfill. But I don’t know enough about the system to know whether that logic is applicable. Since at least one of the keys in each car is already used when it’s reprogrammed to match the newer keys, it would seem that I can just buy used keys off eBay. I’m still confused about whether an intelligent key has to be OEM, or whether it can be refurbished/used. I’ve read that the dealers are the only ones who can program intelligent keys to work with the vehicle, but I'll work with either one. I am ordering a Key for my other car today.Thanks, Stanton, I didn't realize that locksmiths could do that too. I don't know why I waited so long to do this. It came early, perfect item, local Battery+ programed it and cut the key. A locksmith came out, cut and program and works perfectly, TY!ĭealership was charging 100.00 more, I thought this Nissan Smart Key remote might be a scam.

You just need to make sure that the Keys code matches exactly and it will work.ĭam vroom vroom works perfectly. I almost bought one of these from the dealer for 250.00 but decided to check online.

In addition, it does come with a battery. The programmer missed the first rapid 5 flash from the red security light during programming mode, but we caught it the second time. Thanks to a previous reviewer, I purchased this iKey FOB, and went straight to Batteries Plus. Posted by The Real Donald on 17th Aug 2020 I’m so glad that this product was available through you. Price wise- amazing! Getting the device programmed was problem free.
