Nissan Versa Keyless Entry Remotes and Fobs

Do Nissan Versa key fobs include keys?

Some key fobs are stand-alone parts for a keyless entry, and the key that goes into the vehicles ignition is a separate unit from the remote. Many drivers keep their keyless entry remote and their standard key on the same keychain.

Other keys are all-in-one units. The remote control that locks and unlocks the car is mounted at the top of the key. With this setup, you dont have two individual parts to add to your keychain. However, you may want a separate stand-alone key without electronic components to give to mechanics, valet drivers, and other service providers.
