The Z fob is about 10000 times more sensitive than the Titan one. I cannot keep it in my pocket in the office....its impossible. I've had the windows down, the horn blaring due to the panic button...lol.

Its a good thing I park right outside my office window.

Same thing happened to me, twice

including the panic alarm going off

I try and take my key out of my pocket and put it on my desk when I'm at home. Apparently it has a pretty good range. hasn't happened since.

If you are referring to the windows rolling up keep in mind that you have to use the "key" inside of the fob and the actual door lock...no haunting or supernatural phenomenon required.

HAHAH, these threads crack me up...because most Nissan owners have been there =)

First time it happened to me was in my Titan. Kept coming outside at the office to find my windows rolled down. Freaked me out. Thought someone was messing with me and had a key. Come to find out, it was the fob being depressed in my pocket LOL....

now you know what to do if you ever disconnect it...lol....

Even on my '04.. the panic button does tend to go once in a while.. Awesome too as in my parking spot, I'm about 5 feet from our accounting department and a desk that backs up to the window.. OOPS!

Wish we could remotely put the windows up.. Or give the car some logic:

If windows are down, engine off and you get out and walk too far away that the windows go up automatically... ya know? Or holding the lock button on the fob can roll them up all the way.. I'm sure Nissan felt there are some safety issues with the idea and thats why you can't do it.. but c'mon..

Someone get to work and make it happen!

It's been done - I saw a module installed at ZDayZ back in '05 (with a 350 of course).

I don't know if the circuitry for the windows in the 370 has actually changed from the 350 or not but I doubt it has changed much.

Unfortunately I have no idea what company did those modifications/who created the module to make it work...they same guys also had a module that made the VDC a manual option; in other words, if you had it turned "off" it stayed off until you turned it back on or if it ws "on" it stayed "on" until you turned it off (rather than always defaulting to "on" every time you start the vehicle).

One safety issue to consider with a remote auto-up feature is that a person might have the windows down because s/he has a pet inside or something. If they accidentally close the windows, then the result could be a convection-roasted Fido. And of course, Nissan would probably get sued. So not having remote up may ultimately have as much to do with lawsuit avoidance as it does with a real concern for safety.

Josh@STILLEN · 06-09-2009, 12:12 AM

Agreed.. they have responsive sensors in them already.. auto-up windows have to have sensors so it doesn't keep going if you cram your fingers in there..

Although I can't say I've tested it.. seems you'd need "jackass" type courage to go for that.. haven't seen the need.

Anyone tested the window motors out?

It sounds to me like you're talking about KPTechnologies.

CBRich · 06-09-2009, 10:12 AM

The KPTech link I posted earlier does have the roll-up feature for most Nissans. I posted in their forum to ask about testing this and some other things on the 370Z.

What does your manual say? I would think it's true for Base as well.

Yes, it works on the Base as well.
