If I place my spare key in the hole then the memory settings are the ones set for that key. I hope I was clear.

My last car had that, it would remember the stereo and and temp settings and all, it was pretty cool but it took me awhile to firgure it out. I thought my son was taking my car at times cuz ny settings were different, just turned out to be using two different keys.

I have not read the owner's manual but the saleswoman told me that it was to store the FOB in case I didn't want it in my pocket...

Right - but we already know most sales people are total and complete idiots.

I agree with you on that one. Its better to do your own research instead of relying on them. All they want to do is sell you the car and pretend they know a thing or 2 about cars or car related stuff.

Hi everyone,

I'm about to have a 370z and I was wondering something about the fob. What happens if I have the fob in my pocket and driving, And I get carjacked ? I'm out of the car with the fob in my pocket, the guy goes away with the car and then what ? The car stops ?

nope the guy can drive wherever he wants until either 1 of 3 things happens..
1.he gets caught by the popo.
2.he runs out of fuel.
3.he turns off the car but doesnt have the key to turn it back on

Well then lets hope you don't fall into the "most sales people" category then

As soon as he is in the car and has shut the door, press the panic button. That'll attract some attention while he's driving away in your car. May cause him to exit vehicle at his earliest convenience and hightail it outta there ...

i noticed something odd with the fob the other day: after work, i unlock the passenger door to throw my bag in, while doing so, I also toss my keys/fob into the cup holder thinking i could just walk over and hit the button to unlock the driver side door. walk around, hit the driver side button, nothing. i try a couple times just to make sure. still nothing. walk back over and grab my keys/fob from the passenger side and try it again, which worked. i guess the fob has to be outside of the car in order to engage the door buttons.

Yes, the fob has to be outside with you. This is to prevent someone from outside the vehicle unlocking the door while you are inside.
