It's a pain and it will cost you lots of money, and it will be the worst day of your life and totally screw your plans.

^^ mostly true. Unless you have access to a Nissan Consult II computer like we do. LOL But that is usually only issued to Nissan Dealerships.

As for the metal tag, it is the best idea to keep it for sure, but even without it the dealership can look up the code they need based on your VIN # and ECU bar code number. Of course they will want to see ID and a few forms of paperwork to confirm that you do indeed own the car, LOL hahaha
