Recently broke down and good old RAC saved the day. I have a Qashqai digi tec 1.6 (66 plate)
1) - when starting the car - KEY ID INCORRECT came up on the dashboard.
2) - changed the batteries on key. - did not fix the issue
RAC came out and did a battery test - the gentleman advised that there was an AMP draining the battery. But upon placing the connector to the battery to jump start car - it sparked! He did suggest that it could be the auto light feature on the steering wheel that could be the issue. He also advised that he had a similar problem with another Qashqai that day but 2018 plate.
I have booked a diagnostic test - at the moment the car is running okay.
Has anyone experienced this, if so please let me know what the issue is? And should it happen because of the auto lights?
Many thanks, everyone.
