I do it all the time when the gf or someone is with me when I am running into the house for something, running in to a convenience store, or whatever else. Just beeps 3 times when you shut the door. You can actually lock the doors too.

I actually utilized this before work this morning to get the front defroster going. All of 3 mins and I was good.

This is good to know. I noticed people already do this with their Mercedes and BMWs. As for someone running of with the Z that is heating up. I wonder if the car shuts down since the key needs to be physically inside the car for it to go into "drive". It can sense that they key is no longer inside the car I suppose. Probably the would be thief wouldn't get very far. You can easily test this theory by starting up the car and placing the key in the house and to try driving off without the key with you.

Wow, me thinks this is a bad design. I should write Nissan USA and tell them that they need to factor this into their design. Driving without a key is like using a computer terminal at some random firm without having the proper authority, access, or permission to use it.

I suppose it wasn't considered in the design.

What if someone were driving their Nissan Z and they stopped at a 7-11 to throw away some trash in their trash can but the driver mistakenly threw away their car key as well and then they proceeded to continue driving without it. I hear these coded keys cost anywhere from $300 to $1,000 USD.

And make sure you bring the fob with you when you leave!

MindFusion FX · 11-18-2009, 01:39 PM
