I know its not the car battery or the key fob anymore because im able to lock and unlock the doors. Then a light comes on my dash, a key symbol and i look it up in the owners manual. It says that something is wrong with the key reading system and that i will not be able to start the car... and to get it towed and repaired immediately.

The tow guy just dropped it off at the dealership. The whole process was a pain in the a** because they werent able to tow it due to my exhaust, but i wont get into that. and i have to call the dealership in the morning... I am absolutely furious and wondering what is wrong with my z

LOL "Fobgina" - that's the first time I've heard that one

I am curious as to where is the fobgina located in the 370z, just in case this happens to me?

Hi guys, virgin post here.

Am intending to purchase a 09 370z MT.. Is this issue only confined to the 09 models or are the 2010 and 2011 having the same issues?

Anyone can confirm if the part that is changed is of a different part or is it still the same bound-to-fail part?

Thanks (:
