Question on replacement keys for Q45

[PalmerWMD]

I am afraid not.

F...

[elwesso]

No thats not possible...

Go to a locksmith and they will be able to make one that will work..... BAre minimum, if you are an AAA member they can make you a plastic door key, for free!! About the size of a credit card and could really save a huge hassle!!!

[szh]

Can AAA really make those "reverse" indented keys in plastic? I would be surprised by that!

Im not sure, they made a set for my parents for GM cars, I would HAVE to assume that they might be able to.. They said theyd be able to make a copy for ANY car... I am probably going to head out there sometime <soon> to see what they can do.....

[AZhitman]

No can do - Look closely t the Q key, as it's not "cut" all the way through.

Only a locksmith with a laser cutter can copy them.

Buy a blank for $9 off ebay.

Blanks off ebay are nickel alloy or brass. OEM is stainless steel. Big difference.

[AZ94Q]

So can you have a new stainless steel key made?

That's what I want, a backup stainless steel key

To summarize, you should get a blank off ebay, and then have a local locksmith with the right tools cut it. Or go to http://www.jaggraveyard.com/infiniti.htm for the blank. Your other option would be to get one through the dealer for a LOT of money.

Try this guy. He was mentioned some years ago.

I sent him a photocopy of a valet key and he sent back two master keys that work perfectly.

I think a lot of it depends on the key code of the OEM key. It's possible that the one that you want to have re-cut has higher ridges at all points than your existing key, but I don't think that's likely. The only way to get the titanium OEM key is through the dealer or Joe. They'll cut it based on the VIN or key code if your lockset has been replaced. I'm not sure that most locksmiths will use an eBay key blank - many want the profit margin on the blank too. My local dealership will cut aftermarket replacement keys for $25.

My local locksmith sold me the above key (cut) for $7.00. It's nice to have as a back up, and for letting the car warm up in the winter.

Does it work in the doors as well as the ignition?

[Rex]

Yep, doors, ignition & trunk. I think if the guy knew what he "did" he would have charged me more??

I got 2 made at the dealer for like 4 bucks.
