15 Up-And-Coming Nissan Qashqai Key Fob Bloggers You Need To Be Keeping An Eye On
Reasons Why Your Nissan Qashqai Key Fob Won’t Work 
 
The Qashqai has a distinctly SUV-like appearance due to its bigger dimensions, and the ride on 19-inch wheels in Ti and ST-L models may be a bit stiff at times. The front tyres may lose grip on rough surfaces and its CVT could occasionally exhibit wrist-flexing torque steer. 
 
This is typically caused by an unresponsive battery that can be replaced in a matter of minutes. Make sure that the replacement battery is of the same voltage, size, and specification. 
 
Water Damage 
 
One of the most frequent reasons why a Nissan key fob will give the “key ID is not correct” message is due to water damage. The key fob is fitted with rubber seals that shield the electronic chip inside. However, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause it to cease functioning properly. It’s common to see this if your keyfob has been dropped in the water or a swimming pool. However, it could also occur when it’s wet due to showers or soapy hands. 
 
If your key fob has been exposed to water for a lengthy time, it may need to be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol, or electronic cleaner. Alternatively, it might require the attention of a professional for repair or replacement.

If not then you’ll have to take it to an Nissan dealer or a professional auto locksmith to replace the key chip. The chip is typically not damaged by water and therefore isn’t too costly. 
 
Dead Coin Battery 
 
Another reason that your Nissan Qashqai key fob may not function is because the coin battery has gone dead. They typically last for 3 to 5 years, but they may fail in time, particularly if the fob is frequently dropped. You can replace the battery but ensure it’s the same voltage and the same size as the first. If you use a new battery, it could cause the key to be assigned a different key ID. This will prevent it from being connected to your vehicle. 
 
The best way to change the battery inside the Nissan Qashqai Key Fob is to break it open using the help of a small screwdriver with a flat head. Push in the screwdriver in an angled notch on the bottom of the fob, and move it around to separate the two halves of the key fob. Remove the old CR2025 battery and replace it with a brand new one, making note of the position of the old one within the fob. 
 
Examine the terminals to see if there is water damage or dirt before installing the new battery. If not clean the terminals using small amounts of isopropyl alcohol. You should also ensure that the pole cables are connected correctly – they should be connected to the negative and positive poles of the battery, respectively. 
 
Fault Diagnosis 
 
If your Nissan Qashqai’s primary fob doesn’t function after being exposed to clean tap or rain water it could indicate that there’s a problem with the internal chip. Change the battery won’t fix the issue, and you’ll need to buy an entirely new key fob. If the key fob has stopped working after dropping it, it is likely that the chip inside was damaged. You can usually get the key fob to function again if you take it out and clean the chip with alcohol and paper towels, then put it back into. 
 
Key ID Incorrect is a typical error you may see on the dashboard of your vehicle. This means that the vehicle cannot recognize the key fob, and will not allow it to start the engine.

Reprogramming

If your Nissan Intelligent Key is still not functioning, there may be an issue with the connection between it and the car. To relink it, start by turning the key into the ignition, without turning on the car. Continue doing this until you see the hazards lights flash twice. After that, turn the car off and remove the keys.
