Oh and they also include a manual override should you lose the fob - you get a pass code card and you use a button wired to the main control box to 'type' in your code to override the rfid (in case you lose it, battery dies etc).
Sounds like this system has worked thru the kinks of the Nissan system of the 2005 generation. My Murano's system was set up so that when the keyfob was away from the car for a preset distance (car and kfob not able to talk)for a set amount of time, the car would shut off as a anti-theft/security feature. Sounds great until you are driving at 70mph and the car goes into shut down mode because the kfob and the 'system' stop talking to each other.
