I just bought a used 2003 Altima, and the sales guy said that theres a way to set it so that if I have the FOB on me when I go to unlock the car door using the rubber button on the door handle it will unlock... well it currently doesn't and I cant find any information on HOW to set it. I looked up the user manual for the car and it didn't mention it. PLEASE HELP!!! :confused:

LoL, it should work by default. It's a standard feature. You may have to go to the dealership to get it programmed.

If you can lock/unlock your doors with the buttons and start your car with this fob, then it should work on the handle without you needing to do anything. Is your fob working at all?

Yes the FOB works, and the car starts just fine, the door handle buttons the only thing not working.
