Intelligent key question..

kenchan · 10-10-2009, 05:43 PM

quick question...i noticed this today and i can't figure it out reading the owner's manual.

my car doesnt seem to recognize either one of my intelligent keys without the keys
in the key port.

before i could just sit in the car with the key in my pocket, i hit ENGINE START
and drove off.

this morning i sat in my car as usual, hit the ENGINE START and the LCD says
"NO KEY".

so i inserted my key into the port and drove off.

while i was inside the car during my drive, i shut off the car, pulled my key from
the port and hit ENGINE START and it started without the key in the port.

this afternoon it's back to NO KEY unless i have they key in the port.

any tricks to get it back to not having to have to put the key in the port?

I know with the Toyotas, there is a switch you can turn off the i-key feature and use the fob like a regular fob and it must be inserted...I'm not sure about the Nissans
