Nissan & Infiniti key replacement in Winnipeg — Intelligent Key or transponder.

Intelligent Key (I-Key) is Nissan's name for its proximity Smart Key — the fob that lets you unlock and push-button-start without taking it out of your pocket. Nissan was an early adopter (it's been around since the early 2000s and is shared with Infiniti), so even a lot of older Nissans have it. Yes, I cut and program both Intelligent Keys and the older transponder/remote keys at your vehicle. Rogue, Altima, Sentra, Pathfinder, Murano and the Infiniti QX line are all in scope — text me the year, model, and trim for an exact quote.

Two steps. To get in: there's a hidden mechanical key inside the Intelligent Key — slide the release and pull it out to unlock the driver's door by hand. To start it: press the brake, then touch the fob to the START/STOP button and push — the button reads the chip up close even with a dead battery. Worth knowing before −30 in a Winnipeg parking lot. If a fresh coin-cell battery doesn't bring the remote back, it's a programming or hardware issue and I can sort it on-site.

Spare or extra key starts at $90+ for a transponder key and $180+ for an Intelligent Key proximity fob, if I supply. Less if you bring your own reputable aftermarket fob. Lost all keys (AKL) starts at $280+. Fob programming on its own starts at $90+. Older transponder Nissans (Versa, older Sentra/Frontier) sit at the floor; push-button Intelligent Key models (most Rogue, Pathfinder, Murano, the Infiniti QX line) sit higher because the fob hardware costs more. Written quote by text before I dispatch — the number I send is the number you pay.

Yes. I have dealer-level access — information, hardware, and software — for most Nissan and Infiniti platforms across the transponder and Intelligent Key lineup. Nissan's Intelligent Key programming has a precise sequence and timing, so it's a job where doing it right matters — it's a reliable one-trip job at your vehicle, no tow, no dealer queue. The newest 2023+ platforms (and the EV side) tighten things up; text me the exact year, model, and trim first and I'll confirm scope before I dispatch.

Yes. Infiniti is Nissan's luxury line (QX50, QX60, QX80, Q50, Q60) and runs the same Intelligent Key family as the Nissan side, generation for generation. Almost all Infiniti models are proximity Intelligent Key, so they sit in the higher pricing tier. Text me the model and year and I'll confirm the exact key and the quote before I dispatch.

Nissan and Infiniti Intelligent Keys use a small coin-cell battery — commonly a CR2032, with some fobs taking a CR2025. They look almost identical, so don't guess: open the fob (slide out the mechanical key first, then split the case at the seam), read the number printed on the old battery, and match it. It's a $5 part at any Canadian Tire or drugstore, and a battery swap never needs reprogramming. If a fresh, correctly-seated battery doesn't fix the remote, text me — that's a programming or hardware issue I can handle on-site.

Yes — that's the all-keys-lost (AKL) job, and on most modern Nissans it means programming a new Intelligent Key to the car from scratch. Using dealer-level access — the same information the dealership works from — I cut a fresh blade and program a new transponder or Intelligent Key into your Nissan's immobilizer on-site in Winnipeg, no dealer tow. Before I start I verify ownership — photo ID matched to your registration or proof of insurance in your name — and if your documents are locked inside, I run the lockout first so you can reach them. Infiniti runs the same flow.
