Holy crap a trips sighting in my thread! Lol

Yeah, I’ve changed the battery twice, no luck.
Glad to hear I’m not the only one... I wonder if GTR owners put up with the same crap

I too hate the fobs. When my keys are in my pocket, I'm constantly triggering the panic button at home. Drives me crazy. You'd think they would recess the keys into the fob a bit to prevent that.

I too have recently replaced batteries. There's some days I get in the car and the car doesn't recognize I have the fob on me...until I push a button on it, then it'll start.

This new technology can pound sand. I miss traditional keys.

Never thought of that, my range is from the door handle to my pocket. Been too lazy to change the batteries. Will have to remove the dongle and see, I'll report back later.

This is a nissan problem in general. Both key fob on my pathfinder stopped working even after changing the batteries. I think they will have to be reprogrammed or replaced. It seems they get damaged or something inside that conducts the signal gets bent during battery change

I’m shocked at the amount of people with this issue. I’m on my 3rd Z and none of them had any fob issues. I can lock/unlock/roll down the windows with the fob approx 9 feet away from the car and for all three Z’s, one of which had the older style fobs.
