Quick answers for Infiniti G20 key replacement
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Typical cost | Typical Cost Range: $120-$550 (industry-typical; exact price confirmed at dispatch). Your total depends on year/system, whether all keys are lost, parts choice, and any programming needed. Prices shown are $USD; Canadian customers pay the equivalent in CAD. |
| Programming required? | Sometimes. Many G20 sedan keys are simple metal keys, while later systems may use a transponder key and/or a keyless-entry remote that needs pairing. |
| All keys lost? | Often yes, after photo ID and proof of ownership are confirmed. For transponder-equipped G20 sedan setups, the immobilizer must recognize the new key before the engine will start. |
| Online fob accepted? | Sometimes, but compatibility has to match the vehicle’s system and frequency. Used or locked fobs are a common reason customer-supplied parts fail. |
| What to prepare | Vehicle year, your location, a working key (if you have one), photo ID, and proof of ownership/authorization. |

Key-system context for the G20 sedan
The Infiniti G20 sedan was produced across a span where some vehicles used a metal key only, while others use a transponder key (a chip inside the key head) and a separate keyless-entry remote. Infiniti vehicles commonly share Nissan security architecture such as NATS on many platforms, but the exact G20 sedan key system is identified from the vehicle during service so we cut and program the correct type.
If you’re in Canada and your G20 sedan is a Canadian-market vehicle, key and remote variants can differ from USA-market versions. We account for those differences during compatibility checks.
Key and lock anatomy on the G20 sedan
Key blade
The metal profile that physically operates door, trunk, and ignition cylinders.
Transponder chip
When equipped, the chip must be recognized by the immobilizer before the engine will start.
Ignition cylinder
A wear point that can cause “key won’t turn” symptoms even with a correctly cut key.
Door lock cylinders
Pin tumbler cylinders that can be rekeyed or repaired when damaged or mismatched.
Lock actuators
Electronic components that move locks; failures can look like a remote problem.
Steering column lock
Mechanical steering lock interaction can add resistance that feels like a bad key.
Decision points before you spend money
Dealer, mobile locksmith, online fob, or DIY?
| Option | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Infiniti dealership | OEM parts and dealer records | Towing, appointments, higher total cost |
| Mobile locksmith | Lost keys, spare keys, no-tow situations | Requires ID, ownership proof, compatible parts |
| Online fob | Possible savings when exact part is known | Used/refurbished fobs may be locked or incompatible |
| DIY programming | Add-a-key for older mechanical/transponder | Not suitable for all-keys-lost situations or every G20 sedan system |
Aftermarket vs OEM key and remote parts
Aftermarket keys and remotes can work when the part number, frequency, and board match the vehicle’s system. The risk is paying twice if the part cannot be enrolled or if it’s previously locked to another car.
Dead remote battery vs vehicle-side issue
If buttons stopped working, a remote battery is the first check. If the G20 sedan also has starting or security indicator symptoms, we treat it as a vehicle-side recognition problem until testing proves otherwise.
Compatibility by era (typical)
Infiniti used more than one key setup during the G20 sedan’s production years. We identify the exact system from the vehicle before cutting or programming parts.
| Years (context) | Key system (typical) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1991 to early production years | Mechanical metal key (no chip) | Cut-to-code or cut-from-existing. No immobilizer enrollment when the vehicle is mechanical-only. |
| Mid to late production years (varies by trim/market) | Transponder key + keyless-entry remote | The engine will not start unless the immobilizer recognizes the transponder. Remote pairing is separate from key cutting. |
Pricing for Infiniti G20 key work
For the G20 sedan, price depends on whether the vehicle is metal-key only or uses a transponder/remote system, and whether you still have a working key. A spare made from an existing working key is usually simpler than originating a key when all keys are lost.
Typical Cost Range: $120-$550 (industry-typical; exact price confirmed at dispatch). Prices shown are in $USD; Canadian customers pay the equivalent amount in CAD. Dealer quotes and mobile quotes can differ based on parts availability, programming method, and whether the vehicle must be towed.
| Factor | Cost impact |
|---|---|
| Spare key with one working key | Usually lower |
| All keys lost | Usually higher |
| Customer-supplied fob | Depends on compatibility |
| Emergency timing or remote location | May affect service call cost |
| Vehicle-side issue (battery, ignition) | May require diagnosis before key work |
Final pricing is confirmed after the vehicle year, key type, location, authorization, and compatibility are reviewed.
All keys lost
For the G20 sedan, we identify whether it’s metal-key only or transponder-equipped, then cut (and program when required) a working key after authorization is confirmed.
Key turns, won’t start
Often points to transponder recognition, a worn key, or an ignition/anti-theft condition; we test to separate key issues from vehicle-side faults.
Fob works, engine doesn’t
Remote lock/unlock can work even when the immobilizer will not accept the key; we confirm whether the key has the correct chip and enrollment.
Push-to-start not detecting
Most G20 sedans are turn-key; if you’re seeing a no-start condition, it’s usually not a proximity issue and needs key/immobilizer or ignition diagnosis.
Online key uncertainty
If you bought a key or remote online, we can check whether it matches the vehicle’s system before attempting cutting or pairing.
Hard stop: no authorization
If you can’t provide ID and proof of ownership/authorization, we do not cut or program keys.

- Cutting a replacement key to match the vehicle’s locks when applicable
- Programming/pairing when the vehicle uses a transponder key or programmable remote
- Basic ignition and lock function checks related to the key problem
- On-site verification: lock/unlock and start tests before closeout when conditions allow
❌ What this service does NOT include

A process built for mobile key work
Clear scope before work
We align on the problem (lost keys, spare, remote, ignition symptom) and the key system before cutting or programming.
Authorization-first policy
ID and proof of ownership/authorization come first. If authorization is not present, we stop.
Compatibility checks
We match the key/remote to the vehicle’s system to reduce the risk of wasted parts and repeat labor.
Verification before closeout
We test the functions we serviced (as conditions allow) and confirm results with you before closing the job.
Mobile workflow
Most G20 sedan key work can be performed where the vehicle sits, avoiding towing in many situations.
Service-specific expertise
Automotive locksmith work is different from door-hardware work. Our workflow is built around vehicle security systems and lock cylinders.
Parts options when supported
When the vehicle supports it, we can discuss OEM-equivalent vs aftermarket options and the trade-offs.
Documentation you can keep
We provide clear documentation of what was done so you can reference it later if you add spares.
Entity coverage
We dispatch mobile automotive locksmith support throughout the USA and Canada, with service availability varying by location.
What we stand behind (and what’s excluded)
✅ What we guarantee
- We will not start work until authorization is confirmed and you approve the scope.
- We test serviced functions before closeout when the vehicle condition allows safe testing.
- We document the key type and the work performed (cutting/programming as applicable).
- If we supply the part, we stand behind correct pairing to the vehicle system at time of service.
⚠️ What’s excluded
- Pre-existing vehicle electrical faults, immobilizer/module failures, or battery/charging issues outside key work.
- Failures caused by customer-supplied parts that are incompatible, locked, or previously used.
- Damage caused by prior attempted repairs, forced entry, or compromised lock hardware.
- Any request that would require bypassing anti-theft protections.

Six ways to lower total cost
Make a spare before you’re at zero
If you still have one working key for the G20 sedan, duplicating is often less involved than originating a key after total loss.
Confirm push-to-start vs turn-key
The G20 sedan is typically turn-key, but remote and transponder differences still matter. Knowing your exact setup helps reduce mismatched parts.
Avoid unknown aftermarket parts
If you buy parts online, match the system details first. Used remotes are frequently locked or the wrong frequency for USA vs Canada variants.
Have the vehicle accessible
Clear access to the driver door and ignition area helps reduce service time, especially when programming is required.
Stabilize vehicle voltage
Low 12V voltage can interrupt programming or create false no-start symptoms. If the car battery is weak, address that first.
Schedule non-emergency when possible
When you’re not locked out or stranded, scheduling can reduce added dispatch variables. This applies in both the USA and Canada.
