Surf or Swim Key?

Magic Bus · 06-06-2012, 09:31 PM

For you guys that swim or surf, does Nissan give you a seperate swim key like Infiniti to enter the car? If not what do you guys do?

The flat key that fit into the plastic card? I remember getting one with my G35 Coupe, but not my G37 Coupe. Cool idea, but didn't know it was for that reason. The Z definitely does not come with one. Cant you just keep a key with your things or in a pack?

Couldn't you just remove the mech key from the remote and leave it in the glovebox and locking it and the car with the key?

Yes, that key in the plastic card, just tie it on your surf shorts. Unforunately where I surf, you can't leave things lying around, there's a good chance someone will take it.

Sorry, I don't have the 370Z yet, got a 2013 on order. So please bear with me.

What you're saying is, there is a key that comes in the remote which I can remove to lock and unlock the doors and this can go in the water?

Thanks guys! Got a VW GTI as well, but can't do it. Nissan does come up with some pretty cool thinking.

Ahh haha... good point. I guess that's why my G37 Coupe didn't have the flat key... because of the newer keys.

If you leave your remote in the glove box anyone can open your doors and start the car.

That does pose a problem unless you find a way to block the signal to the ignition.

If you wanted to get really fancy keep one FOB without a battery so that it only unlocks with the key and starts with the FOB in the ignition slot. You can then leave it in the car without the proximity sensor disabling the locks.

Aluminum foil should do the trick. Maybe an Anti Static bag would work too, the thing the most PC parts come in.
