You want your mind blown more? ALL Nissans do this.

the car knows the way i drive and realizes a seat beat wont save me so why beep at him lol

its nice on hot days to be able to drop the windows way before i get to the car and let it air out the heat a bit.

If you don't care to comment, fine, but ridicule is not welcome.

When I read the thread this is exactly what I thought of too, love that on start up along with the media system (NAV)

SRM is also a nice feature, makes my exhaust sond like the meanest thing ever on downshifts. I sound like a boss during Time attack sessions

If SRM counts as a small thing, that's probably my favourite. No other car has it. I also like the blinking side emblems but not as unique as SRM.

I also like the *** fog light. I flash it to people all the time.

Mine is twofold, first the press little silver button on the door handle to lock and the annunciator, instead of a HORN that tells you he's locked. Second, when I go into a store and wifey stays in the car (AC on), he beeps 3x to tell me "hurry back" when I leave with the keys in my pocket!

Huh? Please define "annunciator."

Hi, in my case annunciator makes the 'Beep Beep' that you hear locking or unlocking with the door buttons, not the horn. An annunciator is typically a small PCB mounted speaker, usually about .5in x .5in that's black with a small hole in it.

Of course Google considers it either a light or buzzer, or both, but coming from electronics background we call the little tiny speakers annunciators.

Yes this is a good one as well. The beeps are much better than a blaring horn busting your ear drums and waking up every single person in the neighborhood. IE. Hondas

Yep, all my Hondas have done this, it was so embarrassing to lock it when it was parked say, by a patio restaurant. I usually only hit the button once, but sometimes I'd hit it twice accidentally. That's why I like the beep so much, coming from the blare of my Hondas.

Why don't you just disable the horn function for when locking your Z?

As with the 350Z, I love how you can roll down the windows by holding the unlock button on the key fob. Too bad you can't roll them up the same way.

^ by annunciator, he probably means the subtle double beep sounds rather than the sound of the horn when you press the button on the door handles
