Nissan Rogue Key Replacement Cost: $110 to $520 by Year

The Rogue we replace keys for most is the 2014 to 2020 T32, where the KR5S180144106 Intelligent Key is standard on SV and SL. The locksmith range for that fob is $190 to $330. The dealer range is $280 to $430. Both numbers include the cut emergency blade, the proximity pairing to the vehicle, and a verification drive. The base S trim on this generation kept a bladed transponder key with a separate remote, which is cheaper at $120 to $220 from a locksmith.

If your Rogue is a 2021 to 2026 T33, the Intelligent Key is standard on every trim, so there is no cheaper base-trim key to fall back on. The 3-button fob is FCC KR5TXPZ1 (part 285E3-5MR1B); trims with a power liftgate and remote start use a 4 or 5-button variant. Locksmith range $260 to $400, dealer range $360 to $520. This fob is not backward-compatible with older Rogue body-control modules, so confirm the locksmith carries current Nissan T33 coverage before booking.

The 2008 to 2013 T31 is the trim-trap generation on Rogue. The base S used a bladed transponder ignition key with a separate keyless remote, the cheapest Rogue key to replace at $110 to $200 from a locksmith. Higher trims (SL, and SV from the 2011 refresh) got the earlier Nissan Intelligent Key (FCC CWTWBU729) with push-button start, which runs $160 to $280. A locksmith who quotes from year alone will misprice a T31, so state your trim and whether the car has a start button.

Generation by generation

Section 02 / Trim split

The base S and the Intelligent Key trims take different keys

On the 2008 to 2020 Rogue, the single biggest thing that changes your bill is trim. The base S came with a bladed transponder ignition key that you physically turn, paired with a separate keyless remote, and that is the cheapest Rogue key to replace. The SV and SL trims got the Nissan Intelligent Key: a proximity fob with a push-button start and no key slot. That fob costs more to buy and program.

Before you ring a locksmith, look at your dashboard. A start button and a slot to insert the fob in an emergency means you have the Intelligent Key. A key you turn in the column means you have the base transponder key. Quote the wrong one and the price will be off by $50 to $150. From the 2021 T33, this distinction disappears, the Intelligent Key is standard on every trim. See the cost-by-make guide for the rest of the Nissan lineup.

Frequently asked

1. 01

A 2017 Rogue (T32) Intelligent Key runs $190 to $330 from a locksmith or $280 to $430 at a dealer.

Match your model year and trim to the generation table above for the exact range.

2. 02

   How much does a Nissan Rogue key replacement cost in 2026?

   Between $110 and $520 depending on year, trim, and channel. A 2008 to 2013 base S bladed transponder key is the cheapest, $110 to $200 from a locksmith. A 2021 to 2026 T33 Intelligent Key is the priciest at a dealer, $360 to $520. The most common Rogue job, a 2014 to 2020 T32 Intelligent Key, runs $190 to $330 with a mobile locksmith.

3. 03

   Does the base Rogue S use a cheaper key than the SV or SL?

   Yes, on the 2008 to 2020 generations. The base S kept a bladed transponder ignition key with a separate keyless remote, which is cheaper to cut and program ($110 to $220 from a locksmith). The SV and SL trims got the Nissan Intelligent Key with push-button start and a proximity fob ($160 to $330). The quickest way to tell which you have is whether the dashboard has a start button or the column has a key slot. From the 2021 third generation, the Intelligent Key is standard across the lineup.

4. 04

   Can a locksmith program a Nissan Rogue Intelligent Key?

   Yes, for every Rogue generation. Nissan does not lock programming to dealers, and Rogue coverage is well supported by mainstream locksmith tools (AutoProPad, Smart Pro, OBDStar). The one thing to confirm is the 2021 and newer T33, whose KR5TXPZ1 fob is not backward-compatible with older body-control modules and needs current Nissan tool coverage. Most auto locksmiths carry it, but ask specifically about T33 Rogue programming for your year before you book.

5. 05

   Is the Rogue Intelligent Key the same as the Altima or Sentra fob?

   They share a platform but are not interchangeable. The 2014 to 2018 Rogue and Altima both used the KR5S180144106 / KR5S180144014 Intelligent Key family, so a locksmith who covers one covers the other. But the internal pairing data written to the fob and the emergency blade cut are vehicle-specific: a Rogue fob will not start an Altima and vice versa. The 2021+ T33 Rogue moved to its own KR5TXPZ1 fob, different again from the Altima's KR5TXN1.

6. 06

   What is the cheapest way to get a spare Rogue key?

   On the 2021 to 2026 T33, order an OEM-spec aftermarket Intelligent Key (FCC KR5TXPZ1) from a Nissan-focused parts site for $60 to $150, then pay a mobile locksmith $60 to $130 to cut the emergency blade and program the fob. Total runs $120 to $280 vs $360 to $520 at a dealer. Confirm the FCC ID matches your existing fob exactly. Program a spare while you still have a working key, all-keys-lost costs more.

7. 07

   What if I lose all my Rogue keys?

   The locksmith or dealer reads the immobiliser code from the Nissan Anti-Theft System (NATS), decodes the door lock to cut a new blade, then programs every key on the car from scratch. Add $80 to $200 to the standard quote. On the 2008 to 2020 cars, all-keys-lost is doable at your driveway by a well-equipped mobile locksmith, no tow needed. On the 2021 and newer T33, confirm the locksmith carries current Nissan tool coverage before they roll out, because the fob is not compatible with older modules.
