So I just purchased a pre-owned 2007 Maxima. Unfortunately there was only one key, which happened to be a Smart Key.

Obviously I just want to get a spare key, and I just bought an uncut smart key from a dealer on ebay.

Can I get a regular locksmith to cut the mechanical part of the smart key? Will it work on the doors and/or the ignition?

Thanks!

Believe it would work on the doors, but not the ignition without being programmed.

you can cut as many keys as you want, but it wont start the car unless its a programmable key
