IMPORTANT UPDATE
I just want to repeat for those looking for a keyless solution for their 2023-25 Versa S. Please read my long winded write up above dated 2/19/25
This is a relatively inexpensive way to get a 2022
like S fob paired to a 23+ S trim.
Looking last night I see the fcc CWTWB1G76 fob
for $17 on eBay. The ones I used from dk hardware were only $32

IMPORTANT
For those unsuccessful keep trying to find a locksmith that will help you. I know a smart pro system works. The factory key has a chip in the black part.
If you have just the fob, the LS will have to make a plain non chip key just to turn the ignition while holding the fob up close to the ignition.
The ones I used were only $32 each. You can only program 4 keys total. And you have do all the keys every time you do it.
I’m just trying to help everyone. There’s nothing in it for me. I even hate typing this on my smart phone. It just makes me mad to have a great car without a god given rightful RKE !!!

Re: 2023 Versa S keyless entry
Read this forum for quite a while, wanted to post my experience getting RKE out the door in <$500. Like VersaFan, I used an Autel-based system for key programming (KM100). The Autel IM508/IM608 does do immo (engine immobilization chip key) programming, but also has several other telemetry tools which require a yearly membership. Supposedly, the KM100 offers lifetime updates hopefully making it an investment for all your other RKE vehicles 
. Most of the steps in this video were based off of: (Este video en español) . I was going to record a video myself, but I ended up taking a bunch of screenshots.
Costs / Requirements
Autel MaxiIM KM100 - $425 (ebay)
2 remanufactured Nissan Rogue keys (via ebay keyword search “OEM CWTWB1G767”) - $30
Key duplication w/o programming - $10/key (average cost in my area was $8-20)
Total - $475+Tax
A bluetooth OBD reader might help with clearing any codes from testing out the unprogrammed keys for fitment in the ignition
A wifi connection is required for the Autel tablet
1) Register and make an account with Autel
2) Update software as necessary, my version of the Nissan keytool was v1.77
Optionally, you can check your keys to make sure they’re the right frequency with “Frequency Detection”
3) Plug in the VCI into the OBD2 port. Make sure the status shows connected on the tablet.
4) Select IMMO and follow the instructions, be out of the roadway, and have a wifi connection. Keep your keys in order and have all of them present. You can program up to 4, but this Nissan BCM only allows you to clear all keys and program all keys at once. At the end of the programming sequence it will ask you to put the first key back in the ignition cylinder to finish the process. The blue VIN button should be able to grab your vin automatically, otherwise do manual selection.
5) Select IMMO status scan, follow the instructions to open the turn on the hazards and open the door ( ¯_(ツ)_/¯ it’s a Nissan thing). You don’t need to crank the engine, just to get the key in the On position. You may see some errors for the ECU and BCM if you put in the duplicated keys in the ignition to test them out. Fault status is ok, but make sure you have connection to the ECU and BCM. It shouldn’t show “No response”. Either Add a key (guided) or All keys lost (guided) should work (with this BCM you have to re-program all the keys anyway). Hit Start. It will figure out the 20 digit rolling pin for you.
6) Open and close the door again. You will need to be connected to the internet to get the rolling code pin. It’ll verify the rolling code and ask you to insert the key to be learned (if you selected All keys lost, this could be any of them). It will tell you to turn the ignition off, wait 3 seconds, take out the key and repeat the process a few more times. Then you’ll need to keep track and insert the first key you programmed and hopefully get to the end.
