When you start your Nissan 370Z,
 

not only the dash needles sweep but the small gauges sweep as well. I didn't know this until yesterday when I saw this video. I also like how start button illuminates as soon as you depress the clutch pedal. Good job, Nissan! :tup:

:worship:

That is awesome

Another reason for me to like the new Z. :tup:

How does start-up work. You put the key in, then you press the start button? That seems like a hassle to me.

Start buttons are cool, but I only like it with comfort access or keyless start type of systems. Otherwise, it just seems redundant.

no you just need the key in your pocket you insert it nowhere. it uses RF to let the car know it is in range then you hit the start button.

The intelligent sensor senses you have the key in your pocket. So basically, Open door --> depress clutch --> push the start button until the car starts --> Needle/gauge sweep = :tup:

it's a cool feature.

i wonder if is is like the gages I work with. on stat up they sweep as a self testing option they feed the range from 0-5 volts to see if they get the full scale out of the guage or 4-20 mA depending on the guage. not all of them do this though.

Does the car unlock automatically as you approach it? I had a Lexus IS350 that would unlock when you put your hand near the handle to open it.

That's a sweet video. I wish I knew what the guy was saying though. I can't wait till we can check it out for ourselves at the dealership.

Hmm, I didn't know intelligent key was standard, not bad. If it were an option though, I would not be paying for it.

I believe on the current 3 series, if you don't opt for this option then this redundancy can occur.

You are correct. Both 1 and 3 series requires you to get "convenience package" to have key less start. If you don't opt for it, you have to manually insert the fob first before starting the car.

This new feature will be a very nice add on to the Z cars. G37 owners love it and finally Z owners can appreciate this 21st century technology.

what about the doors? is there a button on the inside of the door handle?

It looks like the button is on the door handle frame. (bottom)
