Different Key Fob
 

Hey people, first post from me,

I'm in the UK, our forums are pretty dead as the cars rather expesive here and costs over £110 to fill the tank..anways

I've been watching these forums for ages and i thought i'd ask a question

Loads of you guys on here have a keyfob with 3 buttons on it, my manual states i should have 3 buttons, but my bottom button is a blanker. I understand the third button can open windows, set off an alarm etc..

My Nissan dealers dont know what i'm talking about so i wondered if anyone has any idea how i can get a uprated fob or if anyone the states has upgraded. My dealership thought it was a bit petty and not worth their time to look into it for me..

Thanks in advance.

Wait. So you're saying your key fob doesn't look like this?

Try looking here?

Factory Key Fob

Yeah it does, exactly the same. But the 'alarm' button is blank for me and doesnt click in.. obviously its not a button, but it'd be nice to get one that does open windows etc.

My FOB has a "Z" on it instead of Nissan

Thats mine.

Hmm, no panic button...you may get raped

lol

FYI - I've seen FOB's with the Panic button on EBAY...so you can definitely get one

haha, i dont wanna get raped.. i think i'll buy one..can you guarantee it'll save me ?

I think they changed the FOB with the 2010 models. My '09 has the Nissan logo just like an Altima and other Nissans. BTW are we sure the UK models are equipped with the panic capability? It may take an additional relay to blow the horn and flash the lights...?

Here's the key that came with our 2011 purchased in March:

Is that plastic where the key ring attaches now?

the 09's says nissan, '10 and '11 say Z

Hmmm. Why would Nissan delete the panic button from the FOB in a deferent market? Maybe some kind of socialist law against panic buttons?

I will say I hate when I accidentally set off the panic button when I'm in my underground parking

You would want the panic button over there especially if you pulled up to a Football match displaying the wrong colors :icon17:

"The UNLOCK button operation also allows
you to open a window that is equipped with the
automatic open/close function. (See “POWER
WINDOWS” in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section.)

To open the window, push the door UNLOCK
button*2 on the Intelligent Key for about
3 seconds after the door is unlocked.

To stop opening, release the UNLOCK
button.

Window cannot be closed using the Intelligent Key."

yep

But it's a premium plastic :icon17:

It also is part of the "key" you will need if you leave the FOB with a valet or parking lot.

correct but you can put the key in the door and close the windows that way if you wanted.......

Who would want to put the key anywhere near the paint if avoidable?

It doesnt look like my key has any decent features. Windows dont open etc.

I think you are better off without a panic button. Mine is only actuated in my pants pocket accidently from time to time.

One of the few uses I can see for the panic button is to distract somebody while you draw a firearm.

Man, I was complaining about paying $4.15 a gallon for 93. Glad I don't live in merry old England.

^This. Thanks for bringing this up. If you hadn't, I would have.

Neodc, go outside and hold down your unlock button and see what happens. Report back here upon completion! :)

I'll bet it is! (*Beavis and Butthead laughter*)

Hopefully no one has the shakes that bad where they would miss the lock :nutswinger:

yeah but the one time i would needed it. it wouldn't have one..........

I've tried doing all the key press combinations and my key does nothing but open and close the doors... :(

Take it to the dealer it should do more than that

I'm sorry for rescue this "old" post...

I'm in the same case: my key only has 2 buttons (open and close). I don't have pannic button, and my windows CANNOT be opened/closed with the key...

I'm writing from spain, so I think this kind of "functions" are only enabled on some countries (depending of the market or something like that).

I'm a "newbie" with japan cars, but I have a lot of experience with VAG cars, and in these other cars is exactly the same: some of the "features" (pannic button, for example) are only enabled on some countries.

But (at least in VAG cars) you can enable all these features with VAGCOM (a program to "manage" and diagnose these cars) and a simple ODB2 wire... so I want to think that it's the same with Nissan cars...
