Hello Everyone!

There is news about NISSAN or its parent company Renault everyday like this one

http://www.edmunds.com/insidel...32213

Instead of getting more glamorous everyday they could focus little bit on Quality Control, they really suck at this.

I was and am a victim of this in my first car and my second car V is also showing signs of this after 1000 miles, numerous noises here and there

I really don't know if it is my bad luck to blame or may be I am keen to find out faults after being a victim on my first car

So instead of a little key fob, I can get a crappy cell phone to use as a key? Maybe if they included it with a lot of different phones, or had some kind of add-on for a phone it would be a good deal. What happens in two years when you want to upgrade phones?

I can't see this being a popular option.

Great White Versa

I don't see this first one being very popular, BUT think about it this way. If you lose your i-Key, how much does it cost to get a replacement? I can't imagine that they could charge much more than that for the phone.

It would be really super if there were a standard that all car makers used for their key systems so that cell phones could come with the "i-Key" tech ability. You could then just pay the dealer to program your phone to work with your car. Now THAT would be cool.

That sounds like definitely a good idea Great White Versa

May be Cell phone providers can have that as an option in their products and car manufacturers can write a software for it that could be downloaded depending upon the make and model
