Nissan key replacement in Portsmouth
Built just up the road in Sunderland, the Qashqai and Juke are everywhere around Portsmouth – and so are their keys going missing. The most common Nissan call we get is a 'key not detected' warning on a Qashqai, closely followed by lost Intelligent Keys.
How much does a replacement Nissan key cost in Portsmouth?
A Nissan spare key usually costs £150–£290 when you still have a working key, and replacing a lost Nissan key typically costs £200–£450 when every key is gone. The price depends on the key type and immobiliser system. We cut and program Nissan keys at your car across Portsmouth & the PO postcode area and confirm a fixed price from your registration first.

NATS and Intelligent Key explained
NATS immobiliser
The Nissan Anti-Theft System (NATS) only lets the engine start when it recognises the chip in your key. New keys are registered to it with diagnostic equipment.
Bladed remote keys
Older Micras, Notes and early Qashqais use a cut blade with a chip and remote buttons.
Intelligent Key
Nissan's keyless entry and push-button start. The fob stays in your pocket; a hidden emergency blade opens the door if the battery dies.
