Reset Infiniti Vehicle Immobilizer System/Nissan Anti-Theft System (IVIS/NATS)?

[thebax2006]

Only the dealer consult II or III scan tool can "reset" the nats system. I was under the impression that using the correct key would allow the system to start the car. I'd take the battery cables off and touch them together, put them back on the battery and try starting it again with the right key. I may be wrong but that's easy to try and may save you a tow and repair bill.

I need your assistance!! I have a 1999 Infiniti G20 and I was putting my other car keys in the ignition by accident and then when I put the correct car keys in, the car would not start. I googled info on the safety features and I found that Infiniti's come with a Vehicle Immobilizer System/Nissan Anti-Theft System. What I cant find out is how to re-set it. All I know is that the keys need to be reset but I want to know if I could do it myself or do I have to take it to a shop. I am asking you since I know you had a Nissan Maxima and I dont know if you pulled this stupid move like me or not.
