Well, you may need to start wrapping your Nissan “intelligent” or I-keys in them. Apparently, for some of them, get a cell phone too close to them, and not only will they stop working, they can’t be reprogrammed. Complaints about some cell phones erasing Nissan’s I-keys for the 2007 Altima sedan and 2007 Infiniti G35 have the automaker advising customers to keep cell phones and the plastic fobs containing the starters “at least 1 inch apart at all times.” […]
