The new key will need to be programmed to the van, but for an '04 most mobile locksmiths will have the stuff to do it in your driveway. You can use a non-Nissan blank and have the smith trace it, but be careful about crappy blanks. Some of the junk on the internet is really crappy, and most older Nissan ECM's will commit hara kiri if they get too many bad codes from a weak key. It's not a pricey item, so get it from a reputable source if not from the dealer.
