The Nissan Pathfinder was an SUV and now a CUV manufactured by Nissan Motors since 1986, derived from Nissan's compact pickup truck platform. Some model years of the Nissan Pathfinder have keyless entry remote fob smart keys that are onboard programmable, meaning a person can program the keyless entry remote fob smart key with no special equipment other than the keyless entry remote fob smart key programming instructions. However, other model years of the Nissan Pathfinder are not onboard programmable and require special equipment in order to program the keyless entry remote fob smart key.
