Please Does Anyone Know Where To Locate Diagnostic Port In Nissan Almera 2014? by Marsh104(m): 11:27am On Apr 22, 2015
hello everyone,
I'm having issue with my brothers car, Nissan Almera 2014. I lost one of the keys and to duplicate it is 18k here in Awka Anambra state. the issue now is that the engineer can't find the obd port to socket his laptop so that he can clone the code.

please, I'll be happy if there is anyone who can help me locate the port please.

That car is about to be bleeped up.

a 2014 in the hand of KAZEEM chineke osanebua whalahi you go ride okada for the next 5 years if you no repent chei.

Right now you are being so silly you can't realize that if he don't know he can't fix not in his lifetime.

you better call a Nissan dealer abroad with a vin number and have them make you a couple of keys find you title of the car they will need proof of ownership. How do you have a 2014 car with just 1 key? you lost a key already within 2 years?

Even if I know where it is I should not tell you and that is a big favor messing with a 2014

Chai, op don suffer. Pele. That is Nairaland for u, some people have this 'I too know attitude' and just looking for a way to bash u. I just don't get it, like this poster above me. If only he understand English he would know op said he lost one of the keys, which means he has more than one key. Simple question: does anybody know the diagnostic port of 2014 Nissan almera? If u don't know something it is better to shut up.

Also op didn't say he took the car to a roadside mechanic, so what's this issue with kazeem? Op, for the past generation Almeda, the obd port is always below the steering, it should probably be there for the current generation.

Now to that I too know poster, is it possible for a 2014 car to have just one key? Yes it is if it is bought used and the past owner said he has only one key. Is it possble to lose the key of a 2015 car? Yes it is possible, nobody is above mistake.

I don't know what I talking about but do you know what is involved in what he is trying to do?

If you are good enough to hack into a 2014 security system and program a blank key then you won't be looking for an obd port. One of the t hi.gsm with cars is that if you mess up the anti theft sometimes you need to have 2 keys to restart the car if you have one key or is safer to get a spare from dealership before a big mishap. Manufacturers don't have software or tools everywhere for people to make their own keys otherwise thieves will be stealing those cars every time.


If this was a stolen car do you think I will help make this easy when the anti theft has kicked in.

The big picture here us if you lose a key to a newer car only dealer is authorised to make new keys and in some cars you need 2 good keys before you car program a spare .

But I am also confusing why a competent key programmer will not be able to locate the DLC port for 2014 car?I doubt the credibility of this your so called programmer.

I think the points Sultaan is trying to get across here are these:

Any technician worth his weight in gold, who is going to work on a 2014 vehicle via the DLC3 port SHOULD know where the said port is. Locating the port is much easier than programming a key for this car. If he can't do the easy bit, how would he cope with the more complex art of programming a key?

I would seriously question his capabilities at this point.

Security has gotten tougher on newer vehicles, and manufacturers are making it harder for individuals outside the dealer network to programme any security related components, keys inclusive. Get it wrong, you'll brick the ECU or worse, with heart-stopping bills to rectify.

Maybe Sultaan's choice of words were harsh, but I can see where he's coming from. If this guy who's trying to locate the DLC3 port was a Nissan technician, or even an independent specialist, he WOULD know where the port was, and this thread wouldn't exist.

My advice to the thread starter? Take your car to a Nissan dealership, or at least a shop with good credentials, and save yourself a shed load of grief. A car that has 1 key that'll start the engine is better than a similar car with 4 "programmed" keys, yet can't be started due to ECU lock-out.

But hey, if the worst happens, a 2014 Nissan Almera would look nice sitting on his driveway.

The Obd port is located under the steering wheel on the left.

Sultan may know a lot about cars but very little when it comes to security and key programming. No offense.

Nissan keys can never be ordered from dealer programmed ready to start. However it can be ordered cut to open doors and the ignition barrel.

2. You do not need two keys to program any Nissan.

3. Keys can be lost by any careless person even one day after vehicle purchase

4. Nissan actually changed the location of the DLC from 2012 in that model.

5. "hacking" unfortunately of all vehicles, Nissan seem to be one of the most useless when it comes to key programming. Once you have the pin u can do anything and that's why you find lots of "kazeem" doing Nissan.

Finally you don't have to order to key cut from dealer or from the manufacturer. We can provide keys cut from just your VIN even when you have a total lockout. Some keys come ready programmed and some don't.

I agree with Sultaan. If the so-called programmer doesn't know the OBD port and can't find it online, then he's incompetent. And that's assuming the owner is truly legit.

What if this tech has been programming RR, BMW, Jaguar and the rest, and has never worked on this model of Nissan? undecided Abeg cut him some slack. #JustBeingOptimisticOnBehalfOfOP.

Don't be too quick to judge bro. The op might have already solved his problem and we are here calling an engineer u don't know incompetent.
