Reprograming
The key fob is among the most crucial components of any vehicle. It allows owners to lock and unlock their vehicles as well as start them from an extended distance. However, as with any other gadget it may have problems from time to time. In certain instances, these problems can be solved by programming the key fob in order to recognize the car. The process isn't as complicated as it may appear, and is something that many Nissan drivers can accomplish on their own.
The owner should first take off the mechanical key in the slot on the front of the key fob. This is a precautionary measure to stop someone from accidentally starting the car when they are near to it. After the key is removed, the top of your fob will have an opening that can be utilized with a screwdriver order to divide the two halves. The old battery must be removed and replaced with a new one. Make sure you use a CR2025 battery, since this is the one commonly used in Nissan key fobs.
It is a good idea after the new battery been installed, to test the keyfob's functionality by pressing any buttons while standing away from the vehicle. If the car responds in any way, such as flashing the lights or announcing that it is ready to go it means that the reprogramming was successful.

The KeyLab will split the casing of the fob into two pieces, which will allow you to take out the old battery. Make sure you note the location of the old battery since you'll need to place the new one in the same spot to ensure your fob works correctly.
