Functional description of Nissan D – Plateform i – key 
This document gives an overview of the operation modes and resulting RF transmissions of the 
key. In this document the device is referenced as "key", even if the mechanical backup key might 
be separated form it. 
For an overview of the electrical function blocks, please see the document "Block diagram of 
Nissan D – Plateform i – key". 
Operating modes 
The key has three main operating modes which differ in the regard of signals transmitted on the 
RF. As there is 
 • · Immobilizer transponder mode 
• · Remote key functionality 
• · Passive key functionality 
Immobilizer Transponder mode 
When the key is operating as an immobilizer transponder, communication is done over a "contact 
less interface" depending on strong magn etic coupling. The transponder is the passive side of the 
link and there is no RF transmission from it involved in any aspect. 
Remote key functionality 
This mode refers to the use of the key as a remote control to initiate actions on vehicle side such 
as open or close door latches and such alike. RF transmission always depends on a user 
activating a button on the key. Duration of the button press influences the amount of telegrams 
sent on the RF channel. 
Short Button press:

A valid but short button press, as indicated in the upper half of the above diagram, results in a 
minimum number of RF telegrams to be sent. This is visualized in the lower half of the diagram. 
Long button press: 
If the button press duration extents the time required for sending the minimum amount of RF 
telegrams, additional ones are transmitted until the button is released or a timeout of 25s is 
reached. This timeout prevents unintended transmissions over extended time period s in case of a 
stuck button. 
Passive key functionality 
For passive key operation no user action on key side is required. The trigger is delivered from the 
vehicle via an LF data telegram. Upon reception of a valid LF message, the key responds with 
two telegrams on RF side while the inter telegram timing in this mode depends on key 
configuration data (sort of time slot concept). 
RF parameters
