does the red part of a gtr key come out if so how

[phelbas]

I have a second blank key, and a transponder chip that came out of a japan installed remote start device that fooled the stock immobilizer into thinking there is a correct key present.

How do I remove the red part if this is even possible? (before digging at it with a razor blade perhaps should ask)

alternatively, who currently duplicates a key in sydney. I did phone Tom at the sydney locksmith place recommended previously and he suggested I try the chip implant first.

answering my own question here for completeness, the transponder tray if it slides out at all perhaps needs some kind of tool to compress the sides.

Here is a tray and chip I found in my old alarm system - to allow remote start to work. It was contained in a box with relays, a coil round the chip and a booster antenna.

A red color means non crypto transponder chip however cloning them away from the car is a black art. A “prepared” but blank chip is needed, the spare key I purchased ages ago turned out not to have a chip in it at all!

r34 of the era is NATS2 (NATS1 did not use a transponder chip) obviously a new key can be programmed by Nissan Consult but some of the right key programming tools may also work for cloning. I think in locksmith terms the transponder type is ID41

The way I dug the tray out was by damaging the visible part and pulling with needle nose pliers.

I still have no idea how to remove the tray correctly.

anyway because my Japan installed alarm had a spare chip in it, I am good. The locksmith (mistermint) wanted to charge $90 to code a blank chip but his device did not give him a clone option using the working key.
