Reprograming
The key fob on automobiles is an essential component. The tiny remote allows owners to access their car's locks and keys and start it from the distance. Like all devices it can experience issues. In some cases the issues can be resolved by changing the code on the key fob so that it can recognize the car.

After the key is removed and the top of your fob will have an opening that can be used with a screwdriver order to split the two halves. Next, the old battery must be removed and replaced with a brand new one. Make sure to use a CR2025 to replace the old one, since it is the battery that Nissan key fobs make use of.
It is a good idea, after the new battery has been installed to test the keyfob by pressing one of the buttons while you are away from the vehicle. If the car responds in some way, such as flashing lights or announcing that it is ready for use it means that the reprogramming was successful.
