Which Key Type Does Your Nissan Maxima Use?
Depending on the model year, your Maxima may use a transponder key, a remote head key, a remote flip key, a keyless entry remote paired with an emergency key, or a proximity smart key — and the correct FCC ID matters for programming. Verified FCC IDs for this model include CWTWB1U751, CWTWBU735, KBRASTU10, KBRASTU15, KR55WK49622, KR5S180144014, KR5TXN7, NHVBU427, NHVWBU43, and PQTDORM14, operating on either 315 MHz or 433–434 MHz frequencies with 3-, 4-, or 5-button configurations. Getting the wrong variant means the remote or transponder won't communicate with the vehicle, so confirming your exact year and trim before cutting is essential. Learn more about the full process on our car key replacement page.
Lost All Nissan Maxima Keys? Here's What Happens
A complete key loss on a Maxima — especially a smart-key or transponder-equipped model — requires an on-site diagnostic to read the immobilizer before any new key can be programmed. A mobile locksmith brings the same professional programming equipment a dealer uses, arrives at your location in Las Vegas, and can often complete the job in under an hour. There is no need to tow the car to a dealership, which saves both time and a significant towing fee. If you're currently locked out while dealing with this situation, our car lockout service can get you into the vehicle first.
What Affects the Price and How to Get It Done Fast in Las Vegas
The installed price shown above reflects everything — key blank, cutting, and programming — with no hidden trip fees for Las Vegas and surrounding areas including Summerlin, Sunrise Manor, and the greater metro. The biggest cost variables are key type (a smart key costs more than a basic transponder key), whether you have a working spare (no spare means a full immobilizer relearn), and time of day, since 24-hour service is available around the clock. To move fastest, have your VIN and a photo of your current key or fob ready when you call so the right one of the 16 stocked variants ships with the technician. For fob-only issues, see our key fob programming service, and for after-hours emergencies the 24-hour locksmith page has direct contact options.
