Nissan Cube key types & programming facts

Nissan Cube (2009-2014 North American models) use a remote-head key that combines the mechanical key blade, an ID46 transponder chip, and keyless entry buttons in a single unit. Programming replacement keys/remotes for these years can be done via onboard procedures in the vehicle, but the transponder and remote functions must still be electronically registered to the car, typically using a compatible remote-head key with matching FCC ID such as CWTWB1U751, CWTWB1U773, or CWTWB1U825.

Key types used on the Cube:

  • remote head key (integrated key blade with built‑in remote, transponder ID46) (2009-2014)

Common fob FCC IDs: CWTWB1U751, CWTWB1U773, CWTWB1U825 — check the back of your fob; we confirm the exact variant on site.

How we validate this guide

Year coverage comes from our consolidated vehicle programming dataset. Route-level programming status is reviewed against internal route sheets and available manufacturer, security-access, and professional tool references. Exact button sequences are marked source-verified only when we have year/equipment-specific support; where a year is labeled “route verified, steps vary,” we confirm the exact fob, trim, and prompts before programming. Reviewed for route and safety by Mohammad H. Abdelhadi, ALOA-Certified Master Locksmith.
