Restore correct engine starting and immobiliser communication with this Genuine Nissan Key Reader, designed for Nissan Patrol GU Y61 models from approximately 2012 onwards. This OEM component is part of the Nissan Anti-Theft System (NATS) and is mounted around the ignition barrel, where it reads the transponder chip inside your key.

The key reader (also called the immobiliser antenna ring) sends the key’s coded signal to the vehicle’s ECU. If it fails, the engine may crank but not start, or the security light may flash due to a communication fault between the key and immobiliser system.

Over time, internal coil wiring or electronics can fail due to heat, vibration, or electrical fatigue. When this happens, the vehicle may intermittently or completely stop recognising valid keys.
