Nissan x-trail remote key replacement

we have just got a new key off e bay for our car we bought a key fob for about 10.00 and the key bit that needs to be cut for 2.00 and a decoding programme for 99p hope that helps

These fobs are expensive.

I've got a Skoda Octavia and one of the fobs stopped working last month. Thankfully, it was still in warranty so they replaced it but the dealer said these ordinarily sell for £150 + coding costs of £30!.

You used to be able to recode the key yourself as well by inserting into ignition and either syncronising it with the other fob or performing a few actions like open door, turn key, close door. But again, dealer said they stopped this as it made it easier for thieves to sync their stolen key to your car so now the dealer has to do it themselves. I smell money making here!.

Money making somewhere I'm sure. But as per other poster, these keys do pop up on ebay quite often so you only need the recode of it to be done at the dealers - cheaper than £245
