Key problem

[woodster]

Hi there
Anyone have any ideas on this one?
My spare key will open doors remotely and crank the engine however it wont start .
As soon as i put in main key it starts first time?
Its a GU 2012 patrol 3.0st .
Any help would be great?
Cheers

Nissan nead to do it, the car gets programmed to accept the key transponders.

Is the spare key just that, a spare?
As in a spare to only unlock the car?
My GU had one that did all, unlock, start, and the spare would only unlock.

yeah its an identical key to the main key but the immobiliser wont switch off when i try with the spare and apparently the key was never used.

If the spare looks like the main key it should be able to disable The immobiliser.
I’m led to believe Nissan are not the only ones who can program keys these days. Any good locksmith should be able to do it. Might pay to ask around.

That’s a bugger.

Just did a bit of a dig around. Seems any good locksmith with the right tools can reprogram the transponder in the key. Guess he didn’t find the right place yet.

What area is the original poster from?

I find that strange as I believe the transponder is not programmed, the ecu is programmed to accept the transponder. Has anybody on here had a key matched to a post 2006 patrol by a locksmith?
