About the Nissan Primastar and its keys
The Primastar shares its base with the Renault Trafic. The name was used on earlier vans and later revived, so the year makes a real difference to the key type.
Lost Nissan Primastar keys
With no working Primastar key, send the registration, year and location so we can confirm compatibility before attending.
Spare Primastar keys
A spare Primastar key, made while one still works, can save a lot of disruption later.
Primastar remote keys and programming
Primastar keys vary with the van's year. Describe the fault and send the registration, and we will check whether a replacement remote and programming are possible. See van key programming.
Lockouts and damaged Primastar keys
If the Primastar is locked with the key inside, or the key is broken, tell us what has happened and which lock is affected. See keys locked in a van.
Primastar ignition problems
A Primastar key that is stiff or will not turn can indicate blade or barrel wear. When the key turns but the van will not start, an electrical switch fault is possible, though battery and wiring faults can look similar. We diagnose before recommending work. See Nissan van ignition replacement.
Where we attend
We attend Primastars on driveways, streets and work premises around Eastleigh. See all areas covered.
