It started happening after I got my car tinted. I tried both ikeys thinking it might be the battery but no luck. I have an appointment with the dealer tomorrow morning. Hopefully it's an easy fix.

As a BMW Master Tech, I can tell you that window tint that has metallic material in it affects the signal transmission from the key to the car's remote antenna in BMWs. VDO is the same manufacturer of keys for both BMW and the 370Z, so I imagine that the whole system is pretty similar in the way that CHEAP window tint can affect the signal strength or reception of the signal. Just an F.Y.I. .......Don't buy cheap window tint!
