Yeah a button is way better than just turning a key. So different, this is such a great advancement in automotive engineering. Nissan engineers should win the Nobel freakin prize for this.

They are only behind by 5+ years....

Push button starts are noting but a cool appearance factor. It actually slows down starting process since you have to insert the key, take your hands off the key and push the button on the dash. I does make the interior look nice.

I'm sure not it works in the 370z but in most cars you dont do that... you just push the button. And the g35s already have this button

The one in S2000 and 08 BMW 135i (pretty sure all 3 series is like that) is just the way I explained. You put the key (in bmw the fob) in the slot. Then push the engine start button. How does G35 starts? Does the car senses the key fob and you just press the start button?

If I remember right, you can simply leave the keys in your coat pocket and start the car. It can unlock the doors when you walk close to your car. You can insert the key fob in the slot if you have trouble starting the car because of low battery.

Naw, you just need the key near the car and you can start the engine. I find it weird the 135 is like that because i know with the X5 you just need the key near the car.
The S2000 has a red starter button but you still need to insert a key into the ignition. The red button is just another way of cranking the motor as opposed to turning the key. You have to hold the button until the motor has started. If you just push it and release it, you'll hear it crank then stop.
BMW has two systems. One involves having to insert the key fob into the dash, and then you push the button to start the car. F**king retarded. It's similar to VW's system. The fob doubles as a key cartridge which you need to insert into the dash instead of a traditional key with teeth you insert into the column. Their optional system is a full intelligent key system like Nissan/Infiniti's. You simply keep the fob in your pocket, foot on the clutch (brake if its an A/T) and hit the starter button once (no need to hold the button down as in the S2K) to crank the motor. But...(not sure if they've done away with this yet) to open the doors without removing the key from your pocket, you have a separate comfort access key card (shaped like a credit card) which you keep in your wallet that allows you to open the doors without taking the fob out of your pocket. So basically, card to open doors, key to start. Just what I need, two sets of keys. Whack.
As I said, the Nissan/Infiniti push button start system is a fully keyless system with just one key fob/device. It's kept in your pocket the entire time. Those buttons on the bottom of the new Z's door handles are there for you to push to unlock/lock the car. Once you get in, foot on the clutch (brake if you're a p**sy with an A/T...j/k j/k ), and hit the button once to start the car. You naysayers all whine like a bunch of sisses now about how "we don't need no high tech key" but after using it in my '07 6M/T G Sedan, I wouldn't want it any other way. Trips your friends out when you car is cranking and your hand isn't anywhere near the steering column. Plus if you have a s**tload of keys or one of those long keychain strap thingies, there's nothing to get in the way of your legs. B**ch and moan all you want, it's a cool feature and once you actually TRY it, a lot of you complainers will be converted.
