Nothing. The lights on the dash turn on, the key turns in the ignition, but the car doesn't start. After five attempts with the non-transponder key that I had cut, I just put the transponder key in and it started just fine. It doesn't appear to "lock" the computer, or invalidate the other transponder keys. It may be possible to attach the transponder chip close to the keyway, and just use non-transponder keys...

I've read on some blogs (not Nissan specific) that if you have two transponder keys there is a programming procedure that you can do to activate another transponder key, but if you only have one, you're out of luck.

Is there a programming procedure that involves two registered transponder keys and a sequence that will allow me to register another key?
No
