It's all pointless, keys work just fine.   I wouldn't buy an Altima if it had this period. That said, I wasn't all that impressed with the car. It had over sensitive brakes which drove me bananas.

Replying to: gooddeal2 (Jan 11, 2009 6:31 pm) You beat me to it. Most mfgrs smart key systems have a feature that you cannot lock the smart key fob in the car, including Nissan. Mazda is that way too. I have no idea what vanman1 is talking about.

I just know my friend from church was looking at a 2.5S/Convenience, but a competing dealer had the 2.5 with leather, moonroof, and DVD-Nav added aftermarket, and it was "on sale" for $2,000 cheaper than the competing 2.5S/Convenience Pkg at the first dealer.

Ford's keyless start (available in the MKS and 2010 Taurus) is the most advanced of any system because it's also tied in to the disappearing keypad in the B pillar. Not only does it automatically unlock the doors when they're touched, the system DOES allow you to lock the fob in the car with the keypad - but it disables the fob at the same time so a thief can't break the window and drive off. When you use the keypad to unlock the car it reactivates the fob. Now that's a handy feature. Replies to this message: stephen987 (Jan 12, 2009 6:18 am)

Replying to: akirby (Jan 12, 2009 6:11 am) I remember starter buttons on cars built before WW2, and some even into the 1950s--with doors that didn't lock. The KEY was a terrific advance.   Thirty years into the future, someone will invent the KEY all over again, and it will be hailed as the greatest advance since the electric starter.
