Basically, the keyfob programming is erased or corrupted when it is within an inch of a cellular phone. Apparently the cell phone signal wreaks havoc with the keyfob programming.
It further stated that Nissan/Infiniti was going to replace all affected keyfobs at no cost to the owners sometime in the Fall of 2007. In the interim it warned not to place the keyfob in your pocket or purse with a cell phone. They must be kept separated at all times.
After reading it I asked the Service Rep to comment, and he verified that this indeed is a big problem.
Obviously, I cannot be certain, but it may be what is causing some of your problems with 'dead keyfobs'.

I keep a spare battery in my glove compartment just in case. Sometimes, a button in the key fob can get depressed while in your pocket, and would consumer power. Anyway, I want to hear about the air marshal!
when i dropped my car off at the dealer today, i asked him about this, and he said for the past month or two, if you bought a g, you got a paper telling you about the key fob problem. he also said that audi, benz, and bmw are all having the same issue. so dont put your key in or near where your phone or pda is.
Ok here we go Air Marshall story.. I have a delta connection flight from JFK to Ftlauderdale leaving at 4:30pm. I board the Plane at 4:00pm. We are still on the runway at 5:30pm when the Pilot gets on the mic and tells everyone that we are 7th in line to take off and that there has been delays because the airport has to use one run way for both landings and takeoffs. So i figure ok another 30-45 minutes, And i have to take a major ****. While we are in traffic heading to the run way i notice many people in First class getting up and using the lavaratories. So i say what the heck i gotta pee. So i get up head towards the bathroom and i ask the flight attendant if i can quickly use the bathroom its an emergency. She replies with "SIR HAVE A SEAT!!!!!" so i sit down in the seat next to her and ask politely again. She says ok but hurry up. I go inside the bathroom close the door and lock it and before i can even turn around to get my zipper down i start hearing a loud banging on the door. This banging continued thru out my whole...urination. The whole time im thinking WTF, is that another passenger. So i open the door and i only see the lady sitting there so i ask her..maam was someone banging on my door and she replies " YEA IT WAS ME NOW GO SIT DOWN" so im like fuming right now by the disrespect im getting from this old gringy lady. So i just walk away back to my seat but i utter to MYSELF...man f that lady...and as soon as i said that another flight attendant was walking by and heard me. So she says EXCUSE ME WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO THAT LADY...so i said nothing shes being rude and needs to learn how to treat people. And she said i heard you you cursed her out. So i just walked away and went to my seat. 1 min later the same lady comes to me and says i heard what you said now im about this close to taking us back and getting you off board..i laughed and said yea right i didnt do anything. Then 10 min later the "HEAD" attendant comes up to me and starts asking me what happened and what did i say and blah blah blah...he ended up telling me that we can discuss it when we land in Ftlauderdale so i reply sounds great. After take off the same guy comes up to me and says sir i need to see your passport and ticket, so i reply no what for, and he says the pilot is requesting it (yea right damm air marshall wanted to see it). So after i gave it to him i waited like 20 min i went up to him and told him if i can tell him my side of the story and i gurantee it differs from the flight attendants. So he told me go have a seat and after hes done serving first class drinks hell come get me to talk about it. So i waited and we had our conversation. He ends up telling me that he has 4 witnesses THAT ARE WILLING TO TESTIY that they saw me turn around give her the bird and say f you. HAHAHAHA I laughed in his face when he said that. I was like ok look your a STEWARDESS WHO SERVES PEOPLE DRINKS ON AN AIRPLANE. Theres is no way in hell im getting into this kind of arguement over what happened. so whatever we argued for about ten minutes and i said ok ill go appologize to the hag if it ends the dam arguement. After i went and appologized to the lady i noticed a meeting of 3 flight attendants and 2 people in street cloths in the back of the plane.
When we landed i thought for sure Sheriff deputy would be waiting for me on the other side. Turns out that as soon as i got off the plane the same 2 people i saw talking with the flight attendants come up to me and say sir we need to have a word with you. They pull out their badges
and i seriously cannot believe this is actually happening all because i uttered some words to my self that i KNOW nobody heard except the lady that walked by. So the air marshalls start asking me questions ask me for my drivers license and tell me i have just been flagged and that if this happens again im going to be in big trouble. And that is my story.....and after all of that when i got to my G and the FOB didnt work i was surely feeling like the biggest piece of crap. Traveling like 16 hours no sleep for 4 days and i was hungry. Prior to leaving Barcelona on Sunday i spent Friday and Saturday in Amsterdam....so yea go figure i was burnt out and did not have the patience to deal with some Flight attendants b/s
