Accessory Power with Intelligent Key
Hi All,
I'm strongly considering leasing a 2008 G35x. This car is gorgeous. I haven't had the opportunity to even test drive it yet, but I have a feeling that the moment I do it will be all over for my checkbook.
Anyway, to my question about using the Intelligent Key system. Can the radio be used while the driver is out of the car? The perfect example is at the gas station. If I stop the engine and get out to pump gas, will my wife be able to listen to the radio when I'm outside the car?
No matter what the answer is, it won't be a deal killer, but just nice to know what to expect.
Thanks!
Joe

Its not really a good idea to do this, if the car is eqipped with the Navi option. The Music Box is a battery killer. Some get 2-3 hours from the radio before the battery is dead... Others get less.
A few people were ripping CDs into the hard drive last summer while washing, waxing, etc and learned this the hard way.
A gas station stop is usually only a minute or two but someone just the other day asked why his lights starting dimming inside after just a minute of playing with the navi while the car was shut off.

Aeson is right, the stereo can kill the battery pretty fast - I don't have NAV, and still ran down the battery with the stereo over a five-hour Zaino fest. No worries about doing it at the gas station, or even over a 45 min car wash tho.

The cool thing about having the car in "ON" mode (difference between ACC-hitting the start button once w/o the brake, and ON-hitting the start button twice w/o the brake) is that the gauges are lit up and you can see the fuel gauge move up, so you get a pretty good idea when you're almost full of gas.
