Driving without intelligent key?
Is it possible to have the car started with the intelligent key and drive off without it? I like to start my car in cold weather to warm it up and usually go back inside but I was wondering can someone get in and drive it off?

WOW, did not know that! I thought it would be smart enough to know no key is inside and shut the car down when it is being driven away. I have to tell my parents too. They have a 09 Murano with the same key system and my dad already left it running once for an hour while they were in church.

I'm impressed that it's the people in Florida and Texas that want to leave the car running while here in Canada it used to be a way of life due to the cold weather. Never thought it would be an issue for the south.
It is now illegal in Quebec to leave a car running while unattended due to the pollution. I think there might be a 2 or 3 minute time limit, but I know it is very short.

Nobody’s yet mentioned that when you do it the LCD screen displays a “No Key” warning. Of course that could be good or bad. It tells a smart car thief (yes, that may be an oxymoron) that, without the fob, as soon as he turns off the ignition the car will not start again.
I can see him arriving at the local chop shop, “OK guys, whatever you do don’t turn this car off!”
