Lightbulb Your Z's remote can roll down the windows.

I'm sure a bunch of people know this, but I've mentioned this to people before, and it seems like a lot of people don't know this.

If you press and hold the unlock button on your remote, it will roll down both windows on your Z. It may need to be unlocked to do it, not sure (have never tried, I just press once to unlock and then press and hold to roll windows down).

On a related note, if you press and hold the lock and unlock together, that will turn off/on the honk when you lock the car.

Yea... I wish you could hold the lock button down and roll the windows back up, but sadly it doesn't do that. Would have been useful if the windows are down and you're inside and its about to rain.

You can roll them up by putting the key in the door lock, and holding it in the lock position. Not really helpful though.

Just FYI, the handles aren't very expensive and only take minutes to replace

I actually wish they didn't have this function. It's great in the summertime but there has been several cases of break-ins around the area specifically targeting Nissans and Infinitis. They basically just jam something into the lock and twist. Voila, your windows are down.

All you gotta do is pry the window open a little with a wedge, and unlock the doors with a stiff rod... Most every car is very easy getting into...

If you insert your key in the drivers side door and hold the key in the lock position the windows will roll up .
