I just bought a new 2008 Altima. It has the same smart-key feature. I got 2 keys wit it & bought a 3rd online for a spare. According to Nissan, the only way to program the key is to take it & the car to the dealer so they can program it using 2 computers which takes about 3 hours.
For now the car dealership is the only one able to program the Nissan smart key. You can buy the key themselves on Ebay.

how to program key for nissan x-trail
You cannot copy it your self you need a locksmith or the dealer to program it.
Just call a mobile automotive locksmith to come to program your Nissan Altima's key. You can also tow your vehicle to a dealership and they will program the key.
You MUST take the vehicle to a professional (dealer or locksmith). You cannot just buy a "transponder" key online and program it yourself (like you can for a number of domestic vehicles) for a Nissan. It sucks, it's expensive (about $200 in my case), but that is how it is.
You can program a blank key for Mitsubishi Endeavor 2006 using Transponder Key Blank Fits.

I'm researching this same question. So far, I know the Nissan Sentra has what they call Intelligent Key.
