New pathfinder - start keyless with manual key

Hi I have just bought a pathfinder aventura 56 plate and it has one fob. I have 2 questions.

I know how to open the doors if the fob battery dies, however what I am not sure of is how to start the car with the manual key. The car doesn't have a starter button but more of a bar which you turn to start it like you would with a key. I couldn't see anywhere near to this 'bar' to insert the key blade?

Also if I buy a second fob off eBay can I program this my self? If so how please.

Thanks for your assistance.

If you look closely the centre of the bar is actually a cap that pulls out so you can insert the key

Thanks for that. Just been out and checked. You are of course correct. :)

Do you know about programming the keyless key?

Thanks again

Unfortunately they have to be coded to the truck, not necessarily by the dealer but by a pro with the right software
