Hi guys,

Not a lot of action on this forum, but if you can answer this I will be most grateful. My boss just bought a used '98 Altima and it came with this plastic-bodied anti theft key with, I guess, some kind of electronic chip in it. Where's the cheapest place to get a replacement? His car only came with 1. TIA.

The dealer. That's the *only* place to get one.

The new Altimas now come with a Valet key and the normal ignition keys. EZ is right on the money, the deal will have to cut the key and program the chip.

yea i have a new altima and when i had nissan make me another key, they didnt reprogram my old one or some stuff like that, so my key fit and would spark, but not start, drove me crazy (cuz now i was late) so i took the day off and spent all day trying to figure it out (naturally i thought it was an ignition problem) ended up taking it to nissan took them about 10 min to fix, go figurem things are jus soo computered up nowadays, i can figure any of it out
