Well my car won't start, key reader warning is on...
 

...smart key system failure! Waiting on a tow!! Never thought I would be dealing with this!!

Anyone else have this issue??? :shakes head:

That sucks, Kev!

Damn another one!!! The dealership should give you a rental like they have done to so many others good luck buddy!

Is it the steering lock?

Damn another steering wheel lock.... Good luck man!

Kev, sorry to hear of the problem. If its the steering lock then its been happening to many with 2009 and early 2010s with certain early model steering lock mechanisms. Make sure to contact Nissan North America and bitch at them and submit a note to the NHTSA. I'm waiting for it to happen to me any time now.

Thats why I bought a "D" lock and put it in.

Do you have a part number? Can I install it our do I need the dealership special tool ?

Sent from my rooted EVO 4g

It's pretty easy to install. Look in the DIY section for this.

the part # you want is 48700-JF00D.

You can put it in 5 minutes but the part is on restricted order plus it's like $500:ugh2:

I have a "C" lock that came out of my car still working but I don't know if I want to sell it.

baer- definitely keep it in your trunk until you're completely done with your Z. :) there's no guarantee that D is 100% error proof.

I kind of wasn't worried about it b/c that one guy opened his and got it working again.

yah, but will you have a cordless dremel charged along with tools all the time? :icon17:

Thanks guys!! Here early at work since I park next door at a not so safe local!! Car is still fine thank goodness!!

As you can see I haven't been on here as much as you power user forum guys!! I would have gotten this in advance. oh well...
