Some Nissan electronic key signals erased by cell phones

ASSOCIATED PRESS

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Cell phones rub some of Nissan's "intelligent keys" the
wrong way, the automaker is warning car owners.

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."

A statement released Wednesday by Nissan North America Inc. says some cell
phones, if allowed to touch the I-Key while sending or receiving a call, may
alter it's electronic code.

"When this happens the I-Key will not start the vehicle and cannot be
reprogrammed," the statement said.
