New key...

skymera

Brutal Honesty
So I have one key for my car, it's NATS chipped and it's slightly bent.

Looks like it's been bent before then straightened.

I was tempted to get a key cut but not chipped, just in case I lock my key inside the car! Means I can open the doors at least.

Timpsons here can cut and chip a key for 50pound, is that any good?
Don't really have 50 to spare but IF it snaps, am I totally screwed?
 
How far can the chip be away from the key for the engine to start?

Can I say... put the blank key on the same keyring as the NATS chip?

i,ve had my nats and my misses,s nats keys on the same keyring many times, so it has to be within about 25mm from the antenna i guess
 
ive seen thm at work wwhere people have taped thee old chipped handle to the new unchipped key lol
 
So Timpsons are useless bunch of troglodytes and are refusing to cut me a key without a chip.

£50 for a chipped one which isn't bad but I just don't have £50 to spare right now.
I just wanted a key to open the doors, boot and filler cap and use the chipped key for the ignition only to save it some stress.

You got to catch up on the ware and tare :)

worn key is the ignition only. solid key is doors and hatch.....good idea :)
 
You get genuine keys popping up on eBay, there's one on the now! The red piece on the key pulls out like a drawer and the chip is within. If you go to any normal locksmiths they will more than likely clone the chip into a new key using some reader thing they have.....

£50 is ridiculous! Should only be about £5 I can get them done for free lol

EDIT: I read all them comments and never realised this is an old thread.....

I cant do links from ebay but search:

Nissan micra k11 n15 chip red.

Remember the chip can be removed easily from your key and fitted into the new one
 
My thread, she still lives :)

I've still yet to get another key cut :oops: A good squirt of WD40 in the lock cured most of the problem for me
 
I went to local timpson locksmith today. They asked for £25 with brand new chipped key. It's not going to be Nissan key:( Due to copyright. It's will be aftermarket chipped key.

I am going to check with Nissan soon.

Buy the one on ebay, its not copyright for them to cut an original

Yea I asked timpson so they won't do it cos of copyright. I don't know why though. My cousin just told me that his friend who own locksmith shop in next town. I will ask him if he can do with this Nissan key from eBay. Fingers cross :)
