Excellent and thank you. Had my car serviced at Halfords and asked them to change the batteries. "We don't do that here, you'll have to go to Riverside" Went to Riverside "we don't do that here you'll have to go to....Wilko, bought batteries and did it myself, thanks. Also worth noting that if the batteries have stickers as my Duracells did, they need to be removed before fitting. Obvious, I know. 👍🏼
are you sure you put the battery in there the right way round? I am pretty sure in the early part of the video the blank side faces up. I picked up a second hand 64 plate qashqai today and the second key didnt work so i used this video to change the battery but it didnt work.
It wasnt until later when i was wondering what the problem was that i watched some other videos that show the battery going in plus side down so you cant see the writing. 5 minutes later i swapped it round and the key works fine!
That first tip about putting the key to the start/stop button is a life saver mate.
Ps your vids on the qashqai have really helped me out since i bought mine last year so thank you 👍
No probs Andrew, glad to be of assistance!
Shame they didn't make it so the top pops off with a USB connection so you can power the fob that way if the battery died - the work around for a low/dead battery doesn't seem entirely reliable in my experience.
Give me a good old fashioned key'd ignition any day.
Thank you, mate for these great videos on Qashqai! I just got one mine today and I'm going to be hitting your videos for tips/tricks/hacks. Cheers!
Top video mate, just what I needed , thanks !
Glad you put note in as I thought mine are different . Good video Thanks.
ABSOLUTE LIFE SAVER! God bless you thank you so much!
Thanks. Helpful for the Juke too. I’m glad you mentioned flat side up.. I was a step ahead yet.. we’ll behind. Ha! Thanks again.
Good video and easier than I thought to prise the key apart. Thank you
Glad it helped
Brilliant, thanks for the detailed information as always, so helpful. Bless you🙏🏾🙂
Wish I had known this 1 hour ago - could have saved myself a 2 mile walk.😀
Same key fob as my Infiniti, apart from the logo obviously. Helpful video, I've now installed a new battery and know how to remove the key, many thanks !
Tack för alla tipsen , dom kom till nytta.
Man I was scratching my head about that bottom key button. The manual just completely ignored it as well, it would have been better to actually say "not in use" or something.
Your videos are easy to follow containing very good tips. Thanks.
many thanks for this video, found by chance and solved the 'keyfob no worky' issue
Thank you for all Video's I have seen, so far!
I learned a lot and read tru quite quite a few comments. Your very nice, you reply on questions and helping a lot of people.
Are you a car mechanic?
Thanks mate. I'm not a car mechanic, just self taught and not afraid to take things apart!
I run a tyre fitting centre day to day
Very informative, thank you.
The intelligent key is actually a transponder, it's constantly sending a signal to the car antenna, if your main key isn't working, your spare key will also be dead, so you'll need to change the battery in that aswell.
Wrong my main key battery went so I got the spare which had never been used and it worked right away
And nissan wanted to charge me 15 quid to change the battery. Thank you.
Very helpful for changing our Juke key battery. I would have liked more if the key was better illuminated in the demo.
YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER! Thanks so much for this, great, clear jnfo and demo. Im really grateful. W I'm ll now subscribe and check oug all your other vid's. Thanks again !👍
Hi Dan,
Just for everyone's information, i replaced the batteries in both keys, but i seem to have taken more than 5 minutes to do so and as such the keys now need reprogramming at the local Nissan garage... i was told it would be £75.00 for the pleasure of them doing this for me... so as a tip when changing the battery be as quick as you can... Cheers
Ooops! Yeah it's always worth getting the old one out and new one in ASAP!
Thanks for the vid...subscribed! Can you also tell what needs to be done if the car comes with only 1 key...is there anyway to get another one?
Brilliant video and explanation - thank you!!
Thanks...I just put in my battery and everything works.🔋
thank you so much. Successful battery change thanks to you.
Hi, I noticed you have a flashing red car symbol on the dash. Does this mean "low key fob battery " or just the immobiliser working? I noticed it for the first time on mine today. Good video, thanks
Just the immobilizer
I have the same system and now it's making consistent high pitch sound. Even if the engine is off or on. I tested it was the speaker for the keyless chime in the engine bay. But not sure where that speaker exactly is.
Wondering if you could show/point where i can locate that. really annoying.
The battery in the video is put in upside down? Takes it out one way, puts new one in the other? I followed the 'verbal' instructions and was NG. Make sure you replace in same orientation as the old one.
Yes as shown in the description I accidentally put it in the wrong way
I thinking of replacing my key fob as the only key fob I have is not working and was told the battery is ok but the fob is faulty. I have seen new replacements selling on Amazon, so if I buy two fobs would I be able to program these like you have just shown us in the video..
Regards Colin..
Hi and thank you for the detailed video.
Any idea why the "manual" key in my Qashqai j12 cannot ulock the car, but it can lock it ?
Your the Man!!
Hi dan.. i pretty much have the same car as you. I was wondering if your aware of any hidden wires for add ons on the tekna for example ...footwell lights . I thought with it been a tekna i would have them but we dont.
The accessories use a special wiring harness in the driver's footwell. It's taped up out the way behind the kick panel. Check my welcome light guide to see it
Useful video, thank you y friend.
so recenty i bought a nisan quasquai 2017 one of the key didint function so i changed the battery, now i have one ow warning light on after i switch car off ,it s red colored car with key iside and i dont know how to switch it off,bnoth key are working fine....if some 1 knows how to swithc the warning lght off plz write me thanks,its the same warning light like on yours in video i changed batery on both keys cars starts and evrything only that warning light is anoying
Thanks Brother
Nice one Dan, as informative as always.
I changed now . Thanks
Very helpful...thanks.
Great vid 🤩
Very helpful thank you
Thanks for uploading video sir
Good morning , is there a way to disable the keyless feature thanks
Might be a daft question but what is the bottom button with the 3 lines actually supposed to do? Mine doesn’t seem to do anything
It doesn't do anything, it would be the electronic tail gate on the xtrail, think they were just lazy and used the same key!
I’ve got the same key but for the X Trail. I just spilled some tea on the key do you think I’ll be alright?
Maybe worth taking it apart and checking inside for moisture
Hi,I have a 2010 Nissan juke an my an my key sign always showing up on my dashboard I change the battery an same problem
Ok. Heres a commonly reported issue. You cange the keyfob battery and measure 3.2V on the new branded battery. Ive done this on both my fobs (2021 QQ). However the low keyfob warning on the dashboard remains. I just OK the warning and it clears but repeats every time i get in and start. The batteries have been rechecked and + terminal is making snug contact with the edge of battery. Im an electronics engineer so deffo eveything is in order in the fobs but is there a procedure to clear the low battery alarm repeating in the car. ?
This enquiry is rife on google but the answers are mostly by those who've misunderstood the question .
Hi please I need you to explain about the car luck whilst inside my 66 plate nissan qashqai automatic the luck button once I press it to luck all door because I got twin boys the front passenger side still opens and when I press unlock the passager 2side doors refused to open am disappointed what the reason please drop us a line
Hi I.v changed the battery in my fob n nothing happening now any suggestions please
Why does my alarm keep going off when I unlock with intelligent system by pushing the button on the door handle and open my doors? It sets the alarm off randomly when I open the boot too
I have just replaced the battery on my keyless fob but it is still not working. I have read that, sometimes, you need to reprogram the fob after replacing the battery. Is this something I can do myself at all? There are several items advising on this but not for stop/start cars. Thanks
It may need reprogramming by a professional
Try turning the battery + sign down as mine goes this way
Hi there, what do I do if there is no ignition barrel in the steering column?
Thank you so much 💓
Hi I have 2016 Nconnecta plus winter pack - heating seats.... why I do not have heating front window - is it normal or I have poor version of nconnecta... ?
As far as I'm aware, heated windscreen is on tekna and above
Is there a way to disable keyless entry permanently?
Do you know the process in programming a spare key for 2017 qashqai ? How do you program it to your car manually ? Thanks !
I don't think it can be done without the correct hardware I'm afraid
It can be done if it's still necessary. With just the FOB and the car
How?@@SirHaxx
Do you have any tips for reprogramming the key after changing the battery?
It shouldn't need reprogramming. If it does then look for local autokey specialist
Can someone tell me why tht light is flashing in the dashboard before he start the car?. I see it in mines and curious about it
In my key fob the positive side (with the writing on it) goes in FACE DOWN. Initially I tried it as you recommended with the battery face up, and the fob was dead. Are you sure you are giving the correct instructions?
Exactly what I'm seeing too.
Yeah as the pinned comment and description says - I buggered up 😅
I recently changed my battery on the key. but then it stopped working does anyone have any advice. I've done all the Basis stuff like making sure the battery contacts the board, battery has enough voltage etc?
My physical key does not operate my mirrors like the remote and when I open the door the alarm goes off any ideas?
Interesting video, HOWEVER, the Owners Manual states "Make sure that the + side faces the bottom of the case" which is opposite of how you did it ??
Don't know of anyone knows bit im having an issue were my car won't start its a 2018 1.5 diesel, i press the start button the ignition comes on, press the clutch to start and get a single click, i keep going through this process until it starts, but before it starts it will do one time of actually turning the engine over but no fire, and then it will start on next attempt, ive replaced the battery but still getting the same issue, if anything its got worse more frequent since changing the battery the car battery not the key fob, i have two keys does it with both
Thank you sooo much for these videos.
My alarm keeps going off when I enter. Any ideas?
Hmmm not sure so only when you unlock and get in?
@@TheQashqaiGuy yes or when I open the booth.
@@yveherbert7494 is the car deffo locking and unlocking correctly?
@@TheQashqaiGuy yes it is. No issues with that.
@@yveherbert7494 I've had a look round various forums with no luck, some others with the same issue had to get Nissan to fix it.
So I'm afraid I can't be of any more help, sorry 😓
I have just changed the battery in the fob nothing working n alarm going off when I open door with key any advice please
Check it's the right way, I stupidly put it in upside down in the video
Is there a way to turn off the fob? So it saves battery on the second key and avoid car thief to detect signal?
Unless you remove the battery, no
Battery have to be CR2032. But at this video you put a new battery with wrong orientation. + has to be down and minus - have to be up in the middle according to your video and handling of key remote. Just change battery orientation and all be fine.
My intelligent key and normal key won't lock all doors on my 2018 qashqai tekna. Any suggestions thanks
Check if you have i-unlock on in the settings menu.
Hi I changed the battery but the key is no working properly. Can you make the video how to reset the key after changing the battery. Thanks
You put the battery in upside down. Mine only works the other way round. The old one was opposite to how you said too.
My qashqai takes a while to start on cold mornings. Is this something you've found as well?
Do you mean it turns over for a while before kicking in? If it's a diesel it may be worth having your glow plugs changed.
@@TheQashqaiGuy yeah that's what it does but it only had a service back in December
@@ollieknott3314 not sure if they would have replaced the glow plugs, worth asking or checking your invoice?
I have a 2018 registered Qashqai the battery was changed free under warranty by the RAC to a heavy duty Varta brand.
RAC have the Nissan contract, technician said they’ve been told to replace the old batteries, there is an issue with the original factory fitted batteries, my car had recently had a major service but nothing was said about this even though the battery issue is known and mentioned on forums.
@@john_smith1471 Did you have to arrange this yourself with the RAC or did you contact Nissan?
I changed my car battery and now the intelligent key is not recognised. I can only start by putting they key against the start button.
Do i need to re program the key?
Ensure you put the battery in the right way around, I didn't in this video sorry 😔
Thank you
I have the same key , I changed the battery but the fob still won’t work , how do you re program the fob ? 2017 reg
Did you put it in the right way round unlike me in this video? 😅
Just purchased a Quashqai
Changed battery on keys
One works
The other doesn’t
Any advice please
Make sure its in the right way round. If so check to see if it works by directly touching the start button on the dash
you put the battery in upside down, you notice the batterry you removed had + down and you fitted + up.
Very helpful but I missed the battery type and the polarity
Yes I know, it's in the description!
My key sometimes doesn't open automatically... unless I push the button on the key itself. I've changed the battery like 3 times in 1 month now ... what can it be?
Are you using a decent battery? Have you got the 2nd key to try?
@@TheQashqaiGuy yes it's a decent battery... the thing is that sometimes it works and sometimes not... don't know where the issue can be. if i pull out the key from my bag, than it could work but again then not.. and pressing on the button and everything that works then perfectly.. When starting the car it's the same, sometimes I have to put my key on the start/stop button to start the car but then sometimes not.
Hmmm. Maybe worth (if you feel confident to try it) going over the internals with some electrical cleaner or isopropyl alcohol on a cotton bud.
How funny. I just picked a Qashqai up 2 days ago, and one of the keys doesn't work....and this pops up. Matrix for sure.
The button on the bottom of my key does actually work it sets the alarm off for what purpose I don’t know maybe to find the car if you lose it or something even though the cars big enough to see lol
The bottom button does nothing on the qashqai
Is there a way to close the electric windows after you get out the car? I.e. forgot to close windows when I got out
I wish! It's strange because cars a lot older then this have had that feature! I had a 2001 Vectra that did it!
I think it should do tho, mine does anyway....hold the lock button down for few sec to close electric windows!!
Hold the lock setting to wind windows up, hold unlock button for windows to go down
Think this was added on post 2016 models
What happens if you forget the key fob in the car and car lock itself after few minutes?
It shouldn't lock itself with the key in
@@TheQashqaiGuy thanks for your reply, new to this car.
@@geesingh1613 No worries mate, feel free to ask any questions you have
Just tried to reset my car key with this but nothing????? Still cant start the car.
What will happen if you press the three lines in the key?
Nothing
Also if you hold down the unlock after unlocking the car all the windows roll down. Handy on a hot day before you get in.
Doesn't work on my 2014, what year is yours?
67 plate
Yeah think they added it to later models.
@4darlas Let me know, it doesn't on my 14 plate
Doesn't work on uk cars it's not a feature I got 16 plate and it don't do it
why my qasqi remote key fob does not work from distance
Try changing the battery
How do you add a new fob to the car without going to the dealer?
You can't I'm afraid. Unless you find a key specialist
How do you connect qashqai to NissanConnect?
Nissan connect has been deactivated now. It was a poor service when it worked so you're not missing much!
Don't use WD-40 in the lock, it's not the right thing to use and can actually gum up the lock over time. The preferred lubricant is graphite powder (I know, sounds weird but there you go), or a PTFE based lubricant, such as GT85
Thanks for that Gavin.
Spot on Gavin, was just about to say the same thing. NEVER use WD40 on tumbler/cylinder locks, always graphite powder. If push comes to shove use an HB pencil and rub the lead along the key a few times this can help as well.
I think i ruined my fathers locks with WD 40 years ago,
How to set up this key if I have an extra?
Pop to your local nissan dealer to have it programmed
where do i find my radio code
You have putt the battery in Error mode, the Plus ist Oben ,Minus Unten,,, German L
This only works with the mean key. Not the back up key. I was so frustrated that it wouldn't work for me. Until my mind said try the other key
You put the battery in upside down because i done what you done and it didn't work so i reversed it and it worked
I know, so sorry
Why did you put the battery in, the opposite way to how it was?
Because I had a dim moment! 😅
@@TheQashqaiGuy 😉
Can new keys be programmed
By a professional or nissan yes
Followed to the letter but battery in this video is put in opposite to my 2017 model ie should be + downwards and not facing up as video, if you pause video the original battery appears to be + downwards beaware. Other videos show it my way. Wasted an hour and almost went to have key re programmed.
Yes as says in description, I was just testing you hehe sorry
Plus side should face down not up.
He did put the battery in the wrong way
