New key for possible hatch release?
I'm not exactly sure where I should put this, but I realized that there are other nissan keys with 4 buttons instead of 3. I was wondering if it's possible to program hatch release onto the extra button...
I really don't like how we don't have a hatch release button. This is more for other people than myself, because if someone were to put something in the trunk, then I'd have to get out and open it if they can't figure out how... |

That would be very nice. The most frustrating thing about the hatch is that there is not hatch release in the car, and most people not familiar with the car have no clue how to open it so you have to get out of the car and open it for them.

Lol... are you guys serious???? Tell your buddies its the rectanglular button. If you can't figure out button shapes? You need serious help or need special tutoring in life. The hatch is basically a door. Just like we don't have door release, we don't have hatch release. You don't need the fob to open it, the car only has to be unlocked. That's good enough. People are too lazy to use minimal brain power and energy nowadays... Lmao...

I don't really care either way. I thought it was funny though when I recently had valet parking and they were trying to find the release. I laughed out loud at their frustration! LOL

I got a Viper Alarm, and I can open the trunk with the "AUX" button on the Viper remote. There is a trunk release wire down by the passenger kick panel. You could program a button inside the car if you really wanted

My extra key fob has the 4th button for the trunk release. The dealership was not able to program it. It's not really a big deal though, my other car has that and I don't remember the last time I even used it.

Really? Like Really Really? LOL
I'm surprised how many times I have seen this whole "Trunk Debacle" come up... And that "tricky circular button" next to the trunk button... I personally see no reason for anything other than what has come on the car. You can essentially enter/exit, lock/unlock, and have full use of all functions of the trunk, including locking the car back up *("tricky circular button") with the key in your pocket. The only thing you are losing is the possibility of accidentally opening your trunk from, lets say, in your house.... I can't tell you how many times I have seen cars in the mall parking lot, or parked in front of homes with the trunk opened, and nobody in sight. For this I say THANK YOU NISSAN! Cheers!

Not to highjack the thread but does the Z make a typical Nissan/Infiniti beep sound when you unlock the doors or by pressing the button on the door or the trunk? I ask this because the Z I was going to pick up did not make a beep sound.
