Infiniti keys I make on-site
Whatever your Infiniti needs, I come to you and handle it where you are:
- Lost all keys — a brand-new Infiniti key cut and programmed from scratch.
- Spare / duplicate keys — a backup before you're stuck.
- Key fob & remote programming — fobs and remotes set up to your car.
- Transponder (chip) keys — cut and programmed on-site.
I cover most Infiniti models, older ones included — QX60, Q50, G37, QX50 and QX80. Tell me your exact year and model and I’ll confirm before I come out.
Infiniti is Nissan’s luxury division, and under the badge it runs the same NATS/NVIS immobilizer and Intelligent Key electronics as its Nissan cousins — so the security you need to get past is identical, even though the fobs, part numbers and cut blades are specific to each model. What that means for you is simple: an Infiniti key is never a plain metal blank. Whether your car uses an early transponder chip key or a modern proximity smart fob, the key has to be programmed to your specific vehicle before it will start. That’s the part the dealer wants you to tow the car in for — and the part I handle in your driveway, at your office or wherever the car is parked in Winnipeg, so a lost fob doesn’t turn into a days-long wait for parts.
Infiniti drivers in Winnipeg call me most often to replace a lost key, cut a spare, or program a fob or transponder (chip) key for models like the QX60, Q50 and G37 — all done on-site for most Infiniti models, older ones included.
Common Infiniti key situations I handle in Winnipeg
Infiniti owners tend to call me about one of these:
- Lost every key. With no working fob left, I can generate a fresh Intelligent Key or transponder key and program it to your Infiniti from scratch — no dealer visit, no tow.
- Down to a single fob. Most Infinitis shipped with two smart keys; if you’re carrying only one, a spare now costs far less than an all-keys-lost call later.
- Smart fob acting up. A proximity fob that won’t unlock or start the car is often a flat coin battery or a fob that has lost its sync — I check that before recommending a replacement.
- Worn or damaged key. Emergency blades and older G-series keys wear and crack over time; I cut a new one to your lock code and carry the electronics across.
- Used Infiniti with only one key. Buying pre-owned with a single fob is a gamble — I add a second and can clear an unknown key from the car’s memory.
What to have ready at your car
Before any work, I always check your vehicle registration and a matching photo ID. It's a standard part of how I operate — to confirm the vehicle is yours and keep everything above board.
From $200 for an Infiniti with no working key left · from $160 for a spare.

Infiniti keys by year
Infiniti uses Nissan’s NATS immobilizer with a transponder (chip) key, and Infiniti was an early adopter of the Intelligent Key proximity push-to-start system — so most models like the G35, G37, Q50 and QX60 use a smart key, while some earlier models used a transponder key. Every Infiniti from 2000 and newer needs more than a plain cut blade to start. Which one your Infiniti uses depends on the model, year and trim — I confirm from your year and VIN, then cut and program it on-site.
These are the Infiniti models I’m asked about most in Winnipeg, with the type of key each one generally uses. Because Infiniti was an early adopter of proximity keys, most of the modern range is push-to-start — but trims and years vary, so I always confirm from your VIN first.
| Infiniti model | Common years I cover | Key type it usually takes |
|---|---|---|
| Q45 | 1997–2006 | Transponder chip key on early models; Intelligent Key smart fob from the 2002 (F50) generation |
| G35 / G37 | 2003–2015 | Transponder key on the early G35 (2003–2006); Intelligent Key push-to-start from around 2007 |
| Q50 / Q60 | 2014–present | Intelligent Key push-to-start smart fob |
| QX60 (JX35) | 2013–present | Intelligent Key push-to-start smart fob |
| QX50 (EX) | 2008–present | Transponder or smart key on early EX models; Intelligent Key smart fob on newer generations |
| QX80 (QX56) | 2004–present | Transponder key on the early QX56; Intelligent Key smart fob on newer generations |
Driving something else with the Infiniti badge — a QX70/FX, an M or Q70, or a G25? I almost certainly cover it. Every one is built on the same Nissan-derived immobilizer and Intelligent Key platform, so tell me the year, model and VIN and I’ll confirm the exact key before I come out.
Programming Infiniti keys and Intelligent Keys on-site
Because Infiniti leaned into keyless technology early — the proximity Intelligent Key arrived on the Q45 back in 2002, well before it was common — most Infinitis on Winnipeg roads use a smart fob rather than a key you turn. That fob does three jobs at once: it unlocks the doors as you approach, it lets the car confirm your identity when you press the start button, and it carries the immobilizer code the engine checks before it will run. All three have to be programmed to your specific car, which is why a blank fob bought online won’t start anything on its own.
I bring the tooling to do that programming on the spot. For an all-keys-lost situation I build and register a new smart fob or transponder key from scratch; for a spare I add one to the keys your Infiniti already recognizes. You get the all-in price up front with taxes included, and you pay only once the fob unlocks and starts the car — No Fix = No Pay.
What affects the price of an Infiniti key
The single biggest factor is whether your Infiniti uses a smart proximity fob or an older transponder key. A transponder chip key for an early G35 is the least expensive to replace; a full Intelligent Key smart fob for a Q50, QX60 or QX80 costs more, because the fob itself is a premium part and has to be registered to the car’s system. The number of keys the car already knows can matter too, since an all-keys-lost job takes more work than adding a spare to a car that still has one.
To keep it simple: a lost Infiniti key replacement starts from $200 all-in and a spare or standalone fob from $160, taxes included, while a smart key starts from $170. Whatever the number, you hear it before I start and only pay once the key works.
Mobile locksmith vs. the Infiniti dealership
Going through an Infiniti dealer for a replacement key usually means arranging a tow for a car that won’t start, handing it over for the day, and paying dealer pricing on top of the towing bill. If your model’s smart fob isn’t in stock, it may have to be ordered in, leaving you without the vehicle for several days.
I do the same cutting and programming as a mobile service, coming to your home, workplace or the roadside anywhere in Winnipeg. There’s no tow and no drop-off, the all-in price is typically lower than the dealer’s, and you drive away the same visit on a fully programmed Infiniti key backed by my one-year workmanship warranty on the cutting, chip and programming.
Not sure which Infiniti key you have?
Most Infiniti drivers don’t need to name the part — a photo does the work. If your car has a START/STOP button on the dash and you never take the fob out of your pocket, you have an Intelligent Key smart fob; nearly every Infiniti built in the last decade uses one. Tucked inside that fob is a small metal emergency blade for the door, which people sometimes mistake for the whole key. Older cars such as an early G35 or Q45 use a transponder key you physically turn in the ignition. If you’re unsure, send a photo of the key and the dashboard on WhatsApp along with your year and model, and I’ll confirm exactly which fob or key your Infiniti needs and quote it up front.
When it’s the battery, not the fob
Before assuming an Infiniti smart key has failed, it’s worth ruling out the simple things. A proximity fob runs on a small coin-cell battery, and as it weakens the car may stop unlocking as you approach, ask you to hold the fob against the start button, or show a low key-battery warning on the dash. That’s usually just a fresh battery, not a new fob. If the doors and start button still don’t respond after you replace it, or the car no longer recognizes the key at all, that’s when reprogramming or a replacement comes in — and I can handle either at your location. Telling me the symptoms when you call helps me bring the right parts for your Q50, QX60 or G37.

Frequently asked questions
- Which key does my G35 or G37 use?
- It depends on the year. The early G35, from 2003 to 2006, uses a transponder key you turn in the ignition, while from around 2007 the G35 and G37 moved to the Intelligent Key with push-to-start. Trims and years vary, so I always confirm the exact key from your VIN first.
- My Infiniti asks me to hold the fob against the start button. Do I need a new fob?
- Usually not. As the fob's small coin-cell battery weakens, the car may stop unlocking as you approach, ask you to hold the fob against the start button, or show a low key-battery warning on the dash — that is usually just a fresh battery. If the doors and start button still don't respond after you replace it, or the car no longer recognizes the key at all, that is when reprogramming or a replacement comes in, and I can handle either at your location.
- Is the metal blade hidden in my Infiniti fob a working key?
- Only for the door. Tucked inside an Intelligent Key smart fob is a small metal blade that opens the door, and people sometimes mistake it for the whole key; the fob itself carries the immobilizer code the engine checks before it will run. If that blade is worn or cracked, I cut a new one to your lock code.
- How much is an Infiniti car key in Winnipeg?
- A transponder key for an early G35 (2003–2006), an early QX56 or an early Q45 starts from $160. An Intelligent Key smart fob — the G35 and G37 from around 2007, the Q50, Q60, QX60, QX80 and the newer QX50 — starts from $170, and an all-keys-lost job, with no working key left, from $200. All-in with taxes, given before I come out, and you pay only once the key works.
- Do you program Infiniti Intelligent Keys and push-to-start smart fobs?
- Yes. Most Infinitis use a proximity Intelligent Key for push-to-start, and I register the smart fob to your car's immobilizer on-site so it unlocks the doors and starts the engine. For older models with a transponder key I program those too. Just give me the year, model and VIN.
- Is an Infiniti key the same as a Nissan key?
- Under the surface, yes and no. Infiniti uses the same NATS/NVIS immobilizer and Intelligent Key platform as Nissan, so I handle both the same way and with the same tools. The fobs, part numbers and cut blades are specific to each Infiniti model, though, which is why I confirm your exact vehicle before cutting anything.
