Got a dumb question, but I noticed that even if the key is not detected the car can still move. Has anyone tried driving the car without the key? and how far can you actually go.

I've read that It'll run until the car is turned off. Be careful out there

or until it runs out of gas...

I thought you couldnt put it in Drive if the key was not detected?

it has to go until the car is shut off because the battery could die during your drive, and you wouldn't want to be cut off all of a sudden.

If will keep going until you run out of gas or turn off the ignition.. I forgot my keys once and went to my parents house which is a good 10-15miles. My maxima does the same thing.

yep.. i left it in my pocket once when i was at school while my girlfriend took the car to her house which was approximately 5-10 miles..

it will run until the car to turned off or out of gas......

They should have implemented the same system Benz did, where after driving 50-150 feet without a key, the engine will turn off.

what happens when the key fob runs out of battery?

What if it's in park and you try and put it in drive? Still goes?

My Wife drove away without the key this morning. And luckly she saw the `Key not detected `message and drove back to get the key..

Great Posts here been develop. Now can we tell all of the thieves in the world how will it work in details.
Great.........

yes. as long as the car is running, you do not need the fob anymore. you can do whatever you want. if you shut the car off however, you will not be able to restart it.

there should be a recessed reset button to shut it off, or the car should go into limp mode if it gets too far. I've noticed this too and it basically allowed anyone to steal your car
