I have a problem with lowering the front windows with the keyfob. When I walk up to the car when it has been sitting awhile and keep the "unlock" button on the keyfob pressed the doors unlock and the windows only lower about 4 inches and stop. Since I haven't released the unlock button the windows should continue to lower until they are fully open or I release the button whichever is first. I find if I press and hold the button again the windows will lower all the way. I also find if I raise the windows and lock the car to start the entire sequence again that it works perfectly. It won't fail until I leave the car alone for at least an hour. I have tried two different keyfobs with fresh batteries and they do the same thing.

Has anyone else experienced this and what did you do about it? The dealer could not replicate this but I only determined tonight that you have to leave the car alone for an hour and then it will only fail once. He drove the car in his shop and then tried it so of course it worked every time for him.

 

Happens to me too.... Pretty annoying if you ask me.

I never really thought enough about it to go to the dealer for it.

I'd be interested to know if there is a purpose for this, or just another Nissan design flaw.

 

It's a safty feature so croocks don't get in your car. If you think about it, it makes sence.

 

Actually if you continue holding it, after another couple seconds, they will go all the way down.. It's just a security thing I think in case you didn't want them to go all the way down like that.. *shrug*

I love it.. although there's no way to get them to go back up!!

 

The windows are supposed to lower to four inches, then lower completely....they all do that to my knowledge.

As for why it works after the sequence is restarted...

 

I did not know that could be done. So I went out to try and nothing.
I held down the unluck button and it opened the driver door, then the other doors and then I kept on holding it and NOTHING.
I have a 2000 should it work.

 

I think its only a feature on the 2k2+. Its not on the 2000 or 2k1 I dont think. Sorry bud. I wish I had this feature too, but cant have everything...

 

No, They skipped the early 5th gens.

 

I tryed already, don't work. It bwoken (not really).

 

You guys need to get the mod to make this happen. Go to any Nissan dealer and ask to purchase a 2002, 2003, or 2004 Nissan Maxima.

 

I HATE nissan. Why would they put this feature on the 4th gens, take it out for 2k and 2k1 and then put the feature back on for the 2k2+?? WTF!

 

nissan is stupid

 

lol

well, sometimes mine only goes down 4 inches. then i hold it again and it goes all the way down.

Sometimes it goes all the way down.......STill havent figured it out......

 

 

Same way with my 2k2 as well. However Ive tested it with 2k3 rentals at the ritz carlton where I work and it goes completely down the first time whenever I try it.

 

Holding the button drops it 4" so that the hot air will escape prior to you getting into your car.

thanks

Hi,

I have a 2k3se and I didn't know that you can do this. I have a Hornet alarm system that connects to the original key fob, I wonder if it still works? Well I have to give it a try when I get home.

 

I don't know if this makes any sense, but i always thought that distance made a difference as well. I was actually talking about it with Lumbee999 here but couldn't figure it out. It always happens when i'm walking up to the car. But always works when i'm right besides the car.
Oh well, at least we have the feature. I use it all the time when it's sunny out. Helps a lot. Only wish the sunroof would open too.

 

The fob is good for 30 feet....maybe more. Check your batteries if your range is less. (of course, California pollution will reduce your effective distance...VBG).

I just tried it at 35 feet on a clear parking lot....and the windows dropped 3.5 inches.

Thanks

Vic

 

Has anyone gotten this installed in there 2k-2k1? Everybody has it and I want it!

 

There we go, the best mod ever.

 

My dad's 3rd gen had it, but you had to use the little buttons on the door. I miis those things.

 

It would be nice if you could walk away from your car with the windows and sunroof open, hit the lock button and all the windows, locks and sunroof closed down tight.

Am I asking too much??

Perhaps for the 2005 Maxima.... Are you listening Nissan?!?!?!

 

Oh yeah dude, i get a great distance from my fob. I can drop the windows from a good distance, i think even further than 30 feet, but i notice that from that distance it only drops 4 inches, then goes down all the way if i keep holding it. From a close distance, it goes all the way down. Every time. Pretty weird if you ask me.

 

my dads e-class benz has this option damn germans think of everything

 

i bet you your dad's put down all the windows and open the sunroof as well. BMWs do that. I wish the Max could.
What would it take to get it to do the sunroof as well?

 

WOW, I never knew I could do this! I've only had my 2k3 for a little over 2 weeks now but that's a cool feature.

 

Ya, I can unlock and lock the car from a few hundred feet away when I am on the 4th floor of my company's building. It really has awesome range.

 

You probably did, but did you know you can turn off that damn horn honk everytime you lock the doors with the FOB too? That was the first thing I did.

 

Yeah its much greater the 30 feet. I was amazed the range that thing had! With my viper alarm on my other car, you had to get really close to the car to use it even on new batteries.

 

mine works from 8 stories up no problem.

 

Nah, honestly that doesn't bother me. But I remember seeing a post on here not too long ago about it, I think you hold both buttons for 3 seconds to switch modes or something right.

 

I can open close doors from 15 flights up and 1/2 a block away at home.

 

They Forgot!

 

We actually had a very bad experience with these "features", My wife parked the brand new Max and thought she locked the doors. That night it rained a downpour and next day we found that both front windows were fully down The car was soaked inside... We did manage to get it completely dry (although we sometimes wonder whether there is a bit of mustyness in there, probably just worry). She asked the dealer about it and they said that the car was not even equipped to do that!! Of course, I checked, and sure enough, if you press the right button at the right (wrong) time, the windows will go down just as you turn your back!! Anyway, we've not had that problem again, but we always make sure as we walk away that the windows are up!!
