On April 10, 2026, Lonsdor Technology rolled out a significant Nissan software update that greatly expands key programming capabilities across several newer Nissan models. This upgrade enhances the Lonsdor K518 Pro key programming tool, providing automotive locksmiths and technicians with greater flexibility when dealing with modern Nissan immobilizer systems.
The latest update introduces two major improvements: All-Keys-Lost (AKL) programming without requiring a PIN code, and smart key addition using a third-party code. These functions cover multiple vehicles manufactured by Zhengzhou Nissan.
Key Highlights of the Lonsdor Nissan Update
This update focuses on improving workflow efficiency during key programming procedures while expanding compatibility with newer Nissan vehicles. Below are the two core features.
1. AKL Programming Without PIN Code
One of the most valuable enhancements in this release is the ability to perform AKL (All Keys Lost) programming without needing any PIN code. This saves significant time and eliminates the need to retrieve the vehicle’s security PIN from external sources.
Supported Vehicle for No-PIN AKL:
- Nissan Paladin (model years 2023–2026) – Mechanical Key system
This feature streamlines the process for technicians facing total key loss, allowing faster key recovery and reducing downtime.
2. Adding Smart Key with Third-Party Code
The update also supports adding smart keys using a third-party code, broadening the range of Nissan vehicles that can be serviced with the Lonsdor K518 Pro.
Supported Vehicles for 3rd-Party Code Smart Key Addition:
- Nissan Rich 7 (2022–2026) – Smart Key
- Nissan Palasso (2025–2026) – Smart Key
This function allows automotive professionals to program additional smart keys conveniently when the required third-party code is available.
