How to duplicate a key with remote control in a 2010 Nissan Qashqai

Model: Nissan Qashqai J10 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Key

Pay attention to what I'm going to tell you. To duplicate the remote key of a Nissan Qashqai, you first need to get a compatible key often with a transponder chip. You can buy it online or from a specialized hardware store. Then I admit that it is difficult to duplicate it in DIY mode, you need to go to a key duplicator or to the dealership: the duplicator will copy the mechanical profile but the internal chip needs to be programmed to communicate with the car's ECU. Some hardware stores have tools to do it but in some cases you need an auto electrician or Nissan itself. You also need to connect the car to a computer and code the remote control. It's better to bring all the car documents and the original key. If you lose all the keys, the cost can become much higher.
