Pritchard Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 hey guys, Im at work with my regular carkey. the missus has a spare at hom and the car needs to be moved down the road for a delivery. shes able to unlock the car but not start it. the spare key doesnt have the 'lock, unlcok' button, so i assume the immobiliser is still turned on? any help would be awesome please, im googling away but cant find a hit. (what good is a spare key if it doesnt start the car?!) Quote
Pritchard Posted December 21, 2015 Author Posted December 21, 2015 reading that it might not be 'programmed', but its just a generic looking key with Nissan stamped on it, that doesnt actually have a locl/unlcok button. so, im not sure if its an issue with the key or or the fact the key isnt able to turn off the alarm/immob Quote
Pritchard Posted December 21, 2015 Author Posted December 21, 2015 Nevermind. they pushed it down the road instead. not had to use the spare key before. great time to find out it doesnt work. Quote
Toon Chris Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Could be a dummy glovebox key? The immobiliser function is separate from the remote lock/unlock so although the alarm would have gone mental the car should still start if its a pukka key. Quote

I assume this arms the alarm too? missus had access to the spare key that has no remote-locking button. she put the key in the door and turned, the door unlocks. no alarm goes off. key goes into ignitiion and turns fine, ignition comes on but car wont fire. just engine spin. are you saying the alarm should have gone off too ??

Jay Kay Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 that's the valet key, will allow entry into the car but not allow it to start. Quote
neo Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 There should be 3 keys in the full set, 2 with buttons like u day and a valet key, not sure how much replacement keys are, you could try eBay then have it reprogrammed for your car ? Quote
