Part Number for Ignition ...cover

[wyfesROGUE]

Hi!

I did a search, and didn't see this topic addressed.

Wife has the 2013 with intellikey. I've seen pictures that show the ignition rotary switch as a closed nub. Her switch looks like an access cover has been taken off to reveal where the metal key would go (for whatever reason).

I do not know what the nomenclature of this part might be, and I can't seem to find it on the drawings at parts places online, neither have I found it in the manual.

Anybody know 1) If there should be a cover there, 2) What to call it and 3) Have you seen one?

Thanks!

PS - this is a picture online that looks very, very similar to what her car has:

What's it called? Key hole cover? Do you know what's going to be involved in replacing it IF you do find it?

Thanks for responding!!

Installation?

My W-A-Guess is this: This was their interim no-key feature before they rolled out push-to-start, or whatever Nissan trademarks it as.

I think it should have come from the factory with a block (or, a permanent key) stuffed in the slot.

Hers looks like a standard key hole you stick something into.

You get in with the fob, push that in, and turn it. (shrugs) So, I am really confused as to why the metal key is even a 'thing'. It turns without anything in it at all. Maybe there's a chip in the chunk of plastic at the head?

I think someone popped the cover off to use the key hidden in the fob, and lost the cover.

So, I think all I will have to do is pop the cover back on.

Thanks for the help with the picture!
