Keys not wanting to interact with car - nothing happening

no attitude, i just would not have posted asking for help if i hadn't exhausted what i thought to be all my options. i have been running back and checking the voltage every time this happens and it says full charge. I do have a bass knob wired right on top of where the antenna goes, so i will have my audio guys look into that. i work at a subie dealer, so not a whole lot in the way of 370z expertise back there.

Sorry I read it wrong then

And I suggest looking at the battery because 2016 and 2032 have the same volts, BUT, 2016 is half the thickness, so less amps.

That said, and you saying that there's something installed where your antenna is... That's for sure your problem.

The antenna connection is somewhere under the center console by the cup holders.

The room antenna is actually screwed to the underside of the center console pocket assembly. I have an extra one if the OP needs it. Free + shipping.

Here's a small tip..... When ever you are out having at car meets, shows, coffee with friends etc.... when you're hanging around your Z with the doors unlocked, the Z is constantly searching for the fob. If you lock your Z, it will stop the signal to search for the fob, Hence save the battery life.

do you have any documentation to prove this is whats happening? this means just leaving my car unlocked in my garage is wasting battery life. Why do you believe this? Not trolling just looking for reality as opposed to hearsay.

I am interested as well. I don't see any reason why the batteries would die sooner with the car unlocked vs locked. The fob is always broadcasting, and the car is always looking for a fob.
