Intelligent Key question...

Actually we do have a wired remote solenoid - the external trunk pop button connects to the BCS (front right passenger wheel well) which decides to open the trunk based on the Intelligent Key being sensed. What we would need is new BCS firmware, or someone to start customizing BCS firmware.

Right BUT it is wired to only be active when the proximity sensor has been tripped... if you did find a way to remote pop the solenoid, you would have to hard wire an additional bypassed (non-proximity) power lead to the solenoid and then there is still the matter of running that power lead through a remote receiver so someone could pop it without being at the car.

Otherwise you would be bypassing the proximity sensor which at best would only allow people to get in your car at all times through the trunk and at worst would allow them to get in any door and start/drive the car.

I agree that it is slightly strange that the Z wouldn't get this feature when my father's Altima did but then again if you can hit a button on a remote, you can hit a button on the trunk itself... neither requires entry with the key.
