If I have the key cut will I be able to use the key to open the doors and start the engine or does it need a transponder for that?

This item isn't a remote key, it's just a remote key shell. NO interior (remote/electronics/ignition or transponder chips) unit inside. You need to cut the key blade, take the internal electronics (include immobilizer/transponder chip) from original remote and place them to our key shell, then it is OK! There's no programming needed.

Yes, you can just get the key cut, and use the electronics from your old key. This key does not come with the electronics, so you use your existing electronics, which contains the transponder chip.

Yes but only if you have the transponder key, for the transponder key needs be placed in the ignition first as part of the steps to program the newly purchased key.

There is a chip inside the key... the chip needs to be programmed either by the dealer or a locksmith that has the tool.. I used a locksmith it was cheaper then the dealer! The buttons to lock and unlock can be programmed at home with the given directions.. You tube has a video.. Even after the key is cut the car won't start unless the chip is programmed!

Yes.It must be cut to shape as the other key already with you. And coded. .it works well.

This is a "smart key". It has transponder in it. However, this is not G-type transponder, so you may want to double check if compatible with your vehicle.

I don't know how the key is cut to work - but I do know that the key works - we've had to use it. I assume that at least with the original key fob for the vehicle that the key is cut for the vehicle at the factory.

Yes, providing you have already had it cut at the hardware store or big box store. However, do not attempt to start the vehicle unless this new key is programed!!!

If the vehicle uses a resistance based key. If so, it will work with both push to start and remote start

There is a transponder chip installed in the key portion of the remote that must also be programmed in order to start the vehicle. Thank you!

You don't have to cut the key but you certailnly can if you qant to. If you have the old key from a FOB that is no longer working, you can use that one.

Not sure Edwin. My key was a "transponder" key, but the dealership said it was defective. My key arrived and the handle or the black part with the Nissan logo was split and separated. Very cheap key & likely will not work for your ignition. I had mine cut and am using it for a spare door key in case I lock my keys in my truck. I wouldn't order another cheap "microchip ignition key" from the internet again. Bite the bullet and search dealers or locksmiths that specialize in chip keys. They have to program it anyways as it isn't a do it yourself project like the alarm key fob is.

Yes, the key is uncut. You have to take it to the dealership for them to program it for your vehicle.

Yes but you will need both factory keysTo program the transponder in the new key so that you will be able to start the car with it

The short answer ? Don't buy it. Yes, understood that the key needs to programmed. But it's not as simple as sounds. The locksmith you go to would have to have the same equipment that the key understands. If their programmer is not from the same company, it will not communicate with this key. ALSO, if you get this key, DO NOT try it in your vehicle! Nissan AND a local locksmith both told me the same thing. It could shut your car off and have to be towed to the dealer. ($$$) Best thing to do is go to a local H/W store or other high tech key maker and have them do it.. Good Luck

Yes two programed keys to do the procedure so the transponder in the vehichle know what "code " to program to that key
