Step-by-Step On-Board Programming
Unfortunately, the 2017 Isuzu NQR does NOT support a DIY on-board programming procedure for key fobs. This vehicle requires specialized dealer-level diagnostic equipment or an aftermarket scan tool capable of accessing the vehicle's body control module to program new key fobs. This means you won't be able to program a new fob yourself in your driveway.
Battery Replacement
- Locate the small notch on the side of your key fob. This is usually where the two halves of the fob meet.
- Insert a small, flat-head screwdriver or a coin into the notch.
- Gently twist the screwdriver or coin to pry the two halves of the fob apart. Be careful not to damage the plastic casing.
- Once opened, you will see the circuit board and the battery. Note the orientation of the battery (which side is facing up).
- Carefully remove the old CR2032 battery.
- Insert the new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up, matching the orientation of the old battery.
- Align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until they snap securely into place.
- Test the functionality of your key fob to ensure it's working correctly.
Where to Buy a Replacement Fob
- Isuzu Dealership: This is often the most expensive option, but it guarantees an authentic OEM part and takes care of the programming. Expect to pay anywhere from $150-$300+ for the fob and programming.
- Automotive Locksmith: A professional automotive locksmith often has access to the same programming tools as the dealership, but at a more competitive price. They can usually provide and program an aftermarket or OEM-equivalent fob for you. Prices can range from $100-$250, including the fob and programming.
- Online Retailers (e.g., Amazon, eBay): You can often find aftermarket key fobs for significantly less online (e.g., $20-$60). However, remember that these will still need to be professionally programmed, which adds to the overall cost. Additionally, ensure the FCC ID and part number match your original fob for compatibility.
If On-Board Programming Isn't Supported
Since the 2017 Isuzu NQR requires a scan tool for key fob programming, you'll need to factor in the cost of professional service. As mentioned above, a dealership or a qualified automotive locksmith will be able to perform this service for you. The total cost will include the key fob itself (whether OEM or aftermarket) and the labor for programming.
It's also important to note that the key blade, if present, will need to be cut to match your vehicle's ignition. The 2017 Isuzu NQR also utilizes an immobilizer system, which means the key fob contains a transponder chip that needs to be programmed to the vehicle's immobilizer system. This is a separate process from remote function programming and also requires specialized equipment. Without the transponder chip being correctly programmed, the vehicle will not start, even if the key blade is cut correctly.
