After it happened to me I took the fob apart to see if I could disable the unlock button as I never use the fob buttons. Unfortunately the way the fob is constructed an easily reversible modification wasn't possible. The only solution I could see was to cut one of the circuit traces to the button.

This issue is not normal either the button got hit and held by accident or there is some other device using the same signal, and is causing this issue, rare but not impossible. I Presume the dealer can change the transmitter to another signal to see if it corrects the issue. just my 2 cents

As you said, it wasn't easy to find in LA, but I did manage to track down a dehumidifer at Fry's Electronics. For those of you not on the west coast just imagine a Sears, Radio Shack and Best Buy had a three way, and Fry's was their bastard love child. It cost me $200, but the sales guy just recommended I use it and bring it back for a refund. I found cheaper alternatives on the internet, but my windows are already heavily condensing moisture on the inside, so I wanted to get on it right away. I may or may not take his advice regarding returning the unit. It depends on if I can find another use for it. I'll let you know how it works. I also plan on bringing this problem up with the dealer when I take it in for an oil change.

OP I'm very sorry to hear this. It's a feature that's we rarely use but I don't think there's a way to bypass it. BUT there are some key fob protector available that may help you reduce the chances of pressing the button. How about something like this?
Picture album: Nissan 370Z Forum - arcticreaver's Album: Nissan Z FOB Protector (straight from Japan) . Full credit for the pictures goes to arcticreaver. This fob is availble from our vendor 370Ztune, 370zsource, Z1 motorsports etc. Please send them a pm and they will work out a good price for you. It's on my list of accessories .

They aren't fast working. I think I overstated dumping the water our every hour-two. It could very well take a little while to get all of it out, but I have seen them work magic many times.
Just be patient with it and please report back! |

After leaving the unit on overnight everything feels dry to the touch, and I ended up dumping 1.5 liters of water out of the dehumidifier this morning. I may try doing it again tonight on a lighter setting just to make sure, but as far as I can tell it worked like a charm! Thanks for the tip... btw I gave you a rep for it! @AK, I'm definetly going to look into the FOB cover. thanks!

Wow nice to know what to do if this happens to someone else... haha we should have a "the370zs official dehumidifier" ... we can all pitch a dollar towards it and as soon as someone needs it they pay shipping and off they go! LOL
