How to Program a Nissan Rogue Transponder Key

Nissan rogue transponder keys must be programmed by a professional

A transponder or "coded" key is a security feature of today's more recent vehicles. A transponder key contains a chip that sends a unique signal to a receiver in your ignition letting your car know that the right key is in the ignition. Your Nissan Rogue has a transponder key and must be programmed by a professional locksmith or the dealership with the particular code that will start your ignition. Picking the right professional to program your key is important both to your wallet and the security of your car.
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
1

Call the dealership and ask how much they charge to program your Nissan Rogue key. Take note of the price, thank the tech for his time, and do some comparison shopping.
2

Find a reputable and licensed locksmith that handles Nissan transponder keys. The best way to go about this is to look through the locksmith database of the Association of American Locksmiths. Members of the association have to be licensed professionals with a considerable amount of education in the field of locksmithing. Generally, an automotive locksmith will charge you less for your key's programming than the dealership and almost half price for each additional key you have programmed.
3

Order your key from the most convenient and low-cost source. If your car is still under warranty and the key inexplicably stopped working, the dealership might program a key for free. An automotive locksmith will usually bring you the key on site for a small fee.

Tips & Warnings

Ordering your key online will save you money, but you will still have to have it cut and programmed by a professional. Most professionals will not program a key that has not been purchased through them, so call first if you have bought an key online.

Never use a locksmith that is listed in the phone directory without finding out if they are with a professional organization or licensed. Locksmith fraud is very high as many con men will take out an ad as a locksmith and then double or triple their price upon arrival. Use a professional association and eliminate this risk.
