Why does the key supplied for the JDM incorporate all of the basic features, lock, unlock and alarm directly in the key whereas here in the USA we must use the lare and bulky key fob? Any answers?

 

Pic of my key....................

 

i rather no key at all. carrying around a card in my wallet and being able to just walk up to my car and start it must feel great. i hate bulky key chains, the less the better.

 

bmw comfort access ftw....i haven't insert a key in the ignition for awhile now BWHAHAHAHA

 

markm is that just because your in the uk or did you make that. I would love to have a key like that. I have a viper alarm and don't want to carry two remotes just so i can roll the windows up and down.

 

the JDM key uses a different radio frequency or something. There was a discussion about this a while back. Bascially you can't get a JDM key work with a North American car.

There's a more recent thread about retro fitting the existing keyfob into a Mazda key if you're into that....someone did it with the VW flip keys as well.

 

It's a UK standard item, pretty bulky actually

 

i searched for that thread...no luck. where could i find it?

 

You can't roll the windows up from the OEM remote, and your Viper should be able to roll them both up and down. tsk tsk tsk......

 

I wasn't a fan of the intelli key until I got my FX35. Nissan should make this standard on all it's high end cars like the Maxima, Murano, 350Z..etc.
