Nissan Primera P12 - key replacement in Portlaoise

invictumrex · 22-06-2016 02:09PM #1

Hi folks,

Would anyone have any idea or information on the cheapest place (or individual) to get a new key cut and coded to a P12 Primera in Portlaoise? I've found the car having NATS2 has made this an expensive nightmare. Keys were stolen during a burglary a month and a half ago, quoted €300 from a Nissan dealer and that is far more than we can afford.

Any information at all is greatly appreciated. I even looked at replacing the entire ECU and steering column with immobilizer with one from an identical car, but the ECU is a different model and I couldn't find any information on whether or not it would even work. But at about €80 it was an immensely cheaper option.

Thanks!

Any chance your insurer will cover it, lots of fully comp policies have it as standard.

Not DIY effort. Moved from DIY to main Motors forum.

Try r and p motors on the mountmellick road beside the campus petrol station. He coded Bmw keys for me.

As above. Or Andrew in the Midland Auto Repair Centre in Clonminham.

I'd be going with the second hand ecu and key option, purely to stop the burglars coming back for the car. If you get a new key coded in, the old key will still work.

What? Replacing the entire ECU and immobilizer wouldn't be DIY?

That aside, thanks for the advice guys, I'll have a look at the suggested places.

Thanks a mill.

I think there's a way of clearing all pairing with central locking devices and then resyncing a new one? I know you can do this with Honda's at least, I'll have to look it up. Problem with the ECU is, even though it was the exact same model, exact same engine, exact same year, the ECU I found had a different model # and even looked different. I'd be worried I'd pay for it, install it and it wouldn't work as I can't find any information whatsoever about it online
