Cutting and programming spare proximity key 2014 Nissan X-Trail 4X4

Job Overview

We were contacted by a customer in Rhayader who needed a spare proximity key for their 2014 Nissan X-Trail 4x4.

Some Nissan models, including the X-Trail and Qashqai, are known in the locksmith industry for being on what’s called the “kill list.” This means that using the wrong programming equipment on these vehicles can cause serious issues, including immobiliser failure.

This happens because many budget or generic programmers can’t communicate properly with the security system. If that communication fails partway through, it can lock the system, requiring expensive repairs.

How We Handled It

At Drive Away Locksmith, we don’t take risks with your vehicle. We use dealer-level programming software designed specifically to work with these sensitive systems. This allows us to safely bypass the known issues and successfully add a new proximity key, without damaging the immobiliser.

Within one visit to Rhayader, we cut and programmed a brand-new proximity key on-site. No stress. No delays.
