Can I just have the key cut done and use it? Does it need programming ? probaly yes... does it already have transponde chip inside,??

There is no chip. You need to take one from your previous one, as well as the remote itself. These can be put in to the new unit. The key can be cut before or after.

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.

I had my keys cut and took them to be programmed. I waited for an hour and was told that they could not program them. I put the old unit in the new case, but no luck. I purchased them on the reviews of others.

it does not come with a chip; however, I had the key cut and transferred my old unit from my old key to the new one and it has been a total success

I had it cut at the dealer and just transfered my transponder chip because it does not come with it, unfortunately, even i had cut at the dealer, it did not work. I'ved tried to programmed it, but the car just keep cranking without starting.hope this will help.

The chip is already inside but you will still need to take it to a dealer to get it programmed.

I dont know if the key can be cut to fit or not. I do know yoy dont need a transponder key for a car that old. This key is special because it has a chip in the head that talks to the car to allow it to start. Newer cars must have a key cut and the transponder programmed to the car. I used it on a 2006 Toyota 4runner.

Yes, you can program it, but if you've never done it before I recommend stopping by your local auto alarm installation center to have then program your keyfobs for you. You'll need to program all of your alarm keyfobs at the same time.

Contact the vendor, they are very helpful on the application. To get the key cut I went to a locksmith who cut the key and programmed the remote. The vendor will also assist in the programming.

We actually took it to a place that programs it. It is a key cutting place. It cost us $5.00 and took 5 minutes, if that to program. Check around they are all over.

No no chip. I was able to program to lock and unlock doors but still had to get dealership to cut the key and place chip. The key came with instructions to program which did not work. I had to look up further instructions online.

yes, you will have to program it. I suggest watching this youtube demonstration : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBQrinVNOyI

yes you can just make sure the new key came with a chip or take the old chip from your old key and just ask the lock smith if they have the programmer to , program vehicle

You should be able to program it yourself. I was able to program mine. It did take two tries though. The instructions indicated that I might have to reset the code sequence by hitting one of the buttons several times (something like 20 times). I ended up having to do that after my first try failed. Once I did that then my second attempt at programming worked just fine.

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, 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!!!

You will need to buy a chip which can be inserted in the key or get another key with the chip in it I bought some chips on Ebay

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

Also as stated in someone else answer you need 2 that is not true. They only needed one key to program after it was cut.
