What advantage does a remote unlock offer anyone in the grand scheme of

difficult about
putting a key in a lock and turning it.



The last two cars I've owned I have never once used the key to unlock the
doors. I like being able to walk toward the car and pull out my key ring
and hit the door unlock before I get there. It's also rather handy when
it's raining.


The new Nissan's use a fob that is detected by the cars systems - with the
fob in your pocket, your merely push an electronic button on the door handle
and it unlocks the door and disarms the alarm system. Same thing for the
trunk.

Also, the ignition is "push button" - if the fob is detected sindie the car,
you merely push the swithc (with your foot on the brake) and the engine
starts.

Keep the fob in your jacket or pants pocket and never take it out until
you're walking away.

Of course in both of these last two cars the remote also activated the
alarm system which doesn't get activated when you use the key to lock it.
