Just curious if any use the Intelligent Key's Auto Windows Down feature by Holding Down the Unlock Button for 10 seconds.

I do even during Winter, when it's nice out and not snowing The weather is nice up here and been using it lately. This should be useful especially when you car is sitting in the parking lot during Summer temperatures.

I have used it a few times to air out or cool my car... it is a cool feature, definately gets looks from bystanders. It also is a good thing just to show off to friends (kinda catches them off guard). (people love those kinda features)

Did you hit unlock twice and then held down the unlock button?

I found out that i had the feature by accident. I woke up one morning and my windows were both down, freaked me out. then i remembered my buddies G35 did that. I never use my keys though i only use the button on the door. I guess i am to lazy to reach in my pocket!!

so true about never using my keys anymore... when all the girls are digging through their purses and stuff to find their keys, I jokingly ask them "who needs keys anymore?" and press the door button and get in. lol. (they love it tho- adds to the effect on females)

I use the auto-down all the time and love it! Really turns heads...

What we really need is an auto-up feature on the keyfob too...

They don't put this feature on because of safety reasons.

forget about the salesman.. IT'S IN THE MANUAL!

But seriously, I don't use that function at all. If my car needs cooling, the remote start turns the air conditioning on also, so my car is already 72 degrees when I get in it!

i was talking about before you buy it!!! unless you sit there and read every manual before you buy the car its kinda nice that the sales man will tell you when you are looking at the vehicle the cool features of it.

negative....i have the base model and it works great for me. Although...i've never been able to make it work while sitting in the car, only when away from it. Hit the unlock button to unlock the car, then hit it again and hold it down....keep holding it till the windows start rolling down. The windows will stop as soon as you let go of the unlock button.

Remote start is not an option on A/C, its an aftermarket add-on

well, actually while I do have an aftermarket add on, you can get the remote start from your dealer as an additional item, but I think its like $500... they program your key fob and you can remote start your car... straight from the dealer!

Yeah, but I was answering his question "if the remote start comes in a special package", which it doesn't, you'd have to do an aftermarket, like you did, or go to the dealer, which technically is still an aftermarket, imo.

Aye, still aftermarket as it is not an option when purchasing the car.

All the dealerships near me and even custom car audio places do not know how (some even said it's not possible) to program my factory keyfob with remote start. Sad really.

Unless you live in nowhere USA, most Nissan dealerships should know how to do it. And it IS an option to get this installed on your vehicle before you even pick it up from the dealership, at least it is here in San Diego...

So no, its not part of a package, but you can still have it done when you buy your car before you pick it up... that's not really aftermarket! Lack of knowledge about something doesn't mean it isn't the truth!

HAHA! I did the same thing in finding out it had this feature by accicent. But I use it all the time now. Especially here in Arizona and the heat!

The feature was called "Window Valet" when I had my C5. But the C5 rolls back up too.

By your definition doc, that would mean l33th41 got a stock coupe with his stillen body kit.

His body kit came from installed from the dealer (originally bought from stillen). Just because he picked up the coupe with the kit already on it, doesn't mean its not aftermarket.

I guess the real miscommunication here is, what we define as "aftermarket". In my opinion, anything that cannot be added on from the nissan website as an accessory or option (build and price section) is aftermarket to me.

I agree with notaverage.

However, to clarify it is pretty stupid that the dealers-- including aftermarket audio/video shops near me don't think it's even possible to do this... ridiculous even.

Anyway, getting off topic here, but I love the windows down feature-- will be using it all week since its so damn nice out here!!
