2024 Nissan Rogue Key Fob Guide (US): Smart Key, FCC IDs, Batteries & Replacement Options

The 2024 Nissan Rogue sold in the United States typically uses a proximity “Intelligent Key” (smart key) for push-button start and keyless entry. Replacement can be straightforward when the replacement fob matches the correct FCC ID, frequency, and emergency key style for your specific trim and build. Consumers generally find that most frustrations come from buying the wrong variant online or underestimating programming/registration requirements. This page breaks down the common key types, what to verify before buying, and typical price ranges in the US as of early 2026.

Compatible Key Fob Types

The following key types are typically compatible with the 2024 Nissan Rogue. Compatibility varies by trim and options.

Intelligent Key (Proximity Smart Key, Push-to-Start)

FCC ID: KR5TXN4

This is the most common key for a 2024 Nissan Rogue in the US. It communicates wirelessly with the vehicle for lock/unlock and allows starting the car when the fob is inside the cabin (proximity authentication), with an emergency insert key inside the fob for the door in case of a dead battery.

Features

  • Proximity keyless entry (touch request on door handle, when equipped)
  • Push-button start authorization
  • Integrated emergency/insert key for mechanical door access

Options typically include registering the smart key to the vehicle with dealer-level scan tools and security access. Many vehicles require all existing keys to be present during registration, and lost-all-keys situations typically add time and cost due to security/immobilizer procedures.

⚠️ Common Issues

  • Wrong FCC ID or wrong board revision leading to non-programmable fob
  • Aftermarket shells advertised as complete fobs but missing the correct transponder/electronics

Intelligent Key (Proximity Smart Key, No Remote Start Variant)

FCC ID: KR5TXN4

Some 2024 Rogue configurations use a smart key that looks nearly identical but may not support remote start from the fob (remote start availability can depend on trim, options, and subscription/telematics configuration). The vehicle still uses proximity authentication for push-button start and keyless entry functions when equipped.

Features

  • Proximity keyless entry (when equipped)
  • Push-button start authorization
  • Emergency insert key stored inside the fob

Even when the FCC ID matches, button layout and feature support can vary by trim and region. Consumers generally find it’s safest to match the FCC ID and the exact button configuration of the original fob before purchasing.

⚠️ Common Issues

  • Buying a remote-start button fob for a vehicle not equipped/configured for fob remote start
  • Emergency key blade style mismatch (won’t fit the door lock or won’t cut correctly)

Typical price ranges are driven by whether you need a complete smart key plus registration, whether you still have a working key, and whether an emergency key insert needs cutting. Aftermarket fobs can cost less upfront, but consumers generally find that mismatched variants and limited return policies can increase total cost if the first purchase is wrong.

đź›’ Buyer's Checklist

Before purchasing a replacement key fob for your 2024 Nissan Rogue, verify these points:

1 Verify the FCC ID matches your current key (printed on the back or inside the shell)
2 Match the button layout exactly (remote start button presence/absence matters)
3 Confirm the fob is for a US-market Rogue (frequency/firmware can differ by region)
4 Make sure an emergency insert key is included or that your existing insert key can be transferred (design varies by fob style)
5 Check return terms before buying—consumers generally find that “opened electronics” returns can be limited if the fob is incorrect

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

âś—

Assuming any Nissan smart key that “looks the same” will program to a 2024 Rogue (FCC ID, frequency, and internal part revisions matter)

âś—

Buying a used fob that is still locked to another vehicle (many smart keys cannot be reliably re-registered once previously paired)

âś—

Replacing the fob when the issue is only a weak CR2032 battery or dirty/oxidized battery contacts

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 2024 Nissan Rogue use a smart key (proximity) or a basic remote key?

In the US, the 2024 Nissan Rogue is typically equipped with an Intelligent Key (proximity smart key) paired with push-button start. That means the vehicle can unlock and start when the correct fob is nearby, and the fob also has an emergency insert key for mechanical door access. Exact features (like remote start from the fob) can vary by trim and equipment.

What battery does a 2024 Nissan Rogue key fob take?

Most 2024 Nissan Rogue Intelligent Keys use a CR2032 coin-cell battery. If range drops, the car says “Key Battery Low,” or the fob becomes intermittent, a fresh CR2032 is commonly the first thing to check. If problems continue after a battery swap, the issue may be the fob itself or vehicle-side antennas.

Can a 2024 Rogue key fob be programmed at home?

For the 2024 Rogue’s proximity smart key system, options typically include professional registration with security access rather than DIY “on/off” cycling methods. Consumers generally find that online “self-programming” claims apply to older Nissan remote systems, not modern proximity smart keys. If you see instructions promising easy DIY pairing, it’s a sign to double-check compatibility.

Is it okay to buy a used key fob for a 2024 Nissan Rogue?

Used proximity smart keys are risky because many are already paired to another vehicle and may not be re-registrable. Even if the FCC ID matches, internal security data can prevent successful pairing. Consumers generally find that new OEM or new aftermarket keys with clear compatibility details reduce the chance of a dead-end purchase.

My Rogue starts even when the fob battery is low—does that mean the fob is fine?

Not always. A weak CR2032 can still allow starting if the fob is very close to the start button or if the vehicle can read it at short range, but you may lose normal lock/unlock range or get intermittent detection. If symptoms persist after a battery replacement, the fob’s internal contacts, buttons, or the vehicle’s keyless entry antennas may be involved.
