Best Answer

For an older car, a locksmith can make a copy of the existing car key to keep as a spare in case you lose your key. If you lose your key and don't have a spare, the locksmith may have to dismantle your lock in order to make a replacement key. For a 'smart key' or an electronic fob, the only option for obtaining a replacement may be going to the dealer to get one.

How do you get replacement keys for your 97 Maxima?

On many cars you can go to the dealer and he can cut you a key by your giving him the VIN on your car. I assume you have lost your key and don't have one to get a copy made of. Of coure, you can always have a locksmith make you a key from another lock on your car that uses the same key as the ignition. This is what I would do if I didn't have a key to get a copy made of. I think it would be much more economical to have a key made rather than replacing all of the locks on your car.
