My car will start with no key !!!
 
Does it happen to anyone ?? my key was not inside the car (50 feet away) and I started it twice, one was caught on camera and then after that, it wouldn't start again but all the lights and stuff came on .... :confused:

The computer will let you go to "accessory" and "on" without the key. The starts - well, you got me. That's odd.

wheee! 02-21-2011 09:13 AM

Where was the second key.....

SPOHN 02-21-2011 10:41 AM

Cmike2780 02-21-2011 12:02 PM

Have it checked out asap. So the car was already unlocked and you decided to test this out? Can you upload the video, I want to see this.

Kcuba370z 02-21-2011 12:16 PM

:iagree:
gotta see this.

Red__Zed 02-21-2011 12:23 PM

Rui Z 02-21-2011 12:38 PM

Were you talking to anyone on the phone who was near your keys when the car started?

seriously. My wife had her purse in the car with the second key and mine was in my coat in the house. I got in the car, started it, freaked out that my key was in the house, then realized her key was in her purse behind the seat...

it could happen...

tonybui 02-21-2011 05:04 PM

I will post the clip tonight, and no, I never carry the second key around.

My gf took my key and went inside the house then I decided to start the car just to see if it will start and it did .... weird sh*t !!

What would you say was the approximate distance between the car and the nearest key?

90 ST 02-21-2011 05:23 PM

They did that on Top Gear with the SRT-8.

I said 50 on my original post but reconsidering it again, I would say about 30 feet !!

370Z Purist 02-21-2011 05:55 PM

The car can tell whether or not it's inside or outside. That sounds to me like some kind of issue.

Cool, i already got a buyer no questions asked. :tup:

jnaut 02-21-2011 06:39 PM

this is crazy as my car wont start with the keys in the passenger door pocket??? wtf???

KaienZ34 02-21-2011 06:45 PM

Mine won't start unless the key is at least as far in the car as the kick plate in the door.

Trips 02-21-2011 07:06 PM

For those with issues of it starting and the fob is nowhere close to the car? Have it checked out. The proximity reader on the car is probably faulty? I tested mine and my fob is 10ft away and nothing happens when I try to start the car without the fob, I did get an error on the gauge that says NO KEY

Csquared 02-21-2011 07:49 PM

Yeah get it checked out. I tried putting the key on the roof to start the car and that didn't work.

well this is your problem.. NEVER...and I mean EVER...give the keys of a sports car you love to your spouse. Wait until you have a dispute or a fight... shes just going to take your car and leave you :ugh2: well thats the worse case scenario but could happen :)

tonybui 02-21-2011 10:49 PM

Here goes the video, remember it started once then I get it on video for the second time, and then It wouldn't work

YouTube - Steal my Z

mengel 02-21-2011 10:54 PM

I'd make sure my insurance was up to date if I was you.

CrownR426 02-21-2011 10:59 PM

Nissan hacked your Z.
You are doomed!
No tuning or forced induction for you!

370Z JT 02-21-2011 11:13 PM

Have you been able to replicate it again?

cc370z 02-21-2011 11:24 PM

:confused: WTF??? my fob was in my golf bag in the rear and it wouldn't start!*

Jose Aliling 02-21-2011 11:26 PM

tonybui 02-21-2011 11:38 PM

Too late! The car is actually hers! I am the mechanic and cleaner, but I bought the car for her.
True, I drive it more than she does, but she loves it as much as me and she is a great driver and loves manual transmissions. She wants to buy an Impreza WRX STi next winter so she can park the Z when it snows and STILL have fun!

It's her car, it's MY toy!

Our insurance rates just went up because of your video. Thanks.

You're welcome, glad I could help !

TheGreatOne 02-23-2011 09:07 AM

Hmm, some cars are factory freaks with more power, you might have a freak FOB key with crazy distance on it

That's insane... You should do that at the dealer..

Maybe Criss Angel is invisibly sitting inside the car with your key and messing with your mind... :ugh2::ugh2:

xgrudgex 03-04-2011 10:18 PM

im not saying you did what I did but I was able to duplicate this.... Follow my steps and you can do it toooo:icon17:
-Step uno
Start your car and roll your windows down
-Step dos
with your key in your left hand(us cars only! for the smart a&* ppl on here haha)
-Step tres
turn the car off and then back on again and vuela its on with the no key inserted sign on...

I was able to start it about 2 times and then it woulnt do it anymore... quite possible you timed it right to get it to start like I did... what puzzles me is how you did it once and then was able to go get a camera and capture it knowing it was going to happen again.... Jus sayin
