Please refrain from doing this, as you mentioned... it will bring so much more negative attention to this. It sucks that your car got taken advantage of but why make it bad for the rest of the g37 owners?

Also, if you don't mind me asking: where was this?

I hope the dealer hooks you up. It's really crappy that this happens I wish you the best of luck

So is there a setting that the dealer can do to turn off this feature?

I know I NEVER use the remote windows down

So the only way to prevent this is to get rid of the key cylinder? What's the part number for that kit?

concept z performance has them for a good price. may pick one up myself after reading this!

But thats just a cover right? What's stopping someone from popping that off and still using a screw driver? Is there an actual cylinder delete kit?

My question exactly.

I've seen this question asked at least 4 times in the last week, in different threads. Why will nobody with the key-hole delete respond?

To my knowledge there is no such thing as a "Key Cylinder Delete Kit." The problem lies NOT in the key cylinder, but in the key cylinder SWITCH mounted on the cylinder itself. All you have to do is locate and cut the three (3) wires going from the key cylinder switch to the power window switch. Problem solved.

I think you may have just pointed out something very important to this whole Infiniti security issue. I have just called Infiniti and asked if the window roll-down feature could be programmed out and they firmly stated it is not possible. My next option was to order the key-delete piece and go to my mechanic and have him remove the cylinder all together, put a flush metal plate instead and put the key-delete over it.

However your suggestion sounds like it may be the way to go. I will point this out to my mechanic and see if I can get it done this week or the next. Will update with what I can find.

I may actually still consider the key-delete piece for aesthetic reasons, having a black car the key hole actually does stand out a lot and that piece would give it a clean look. But yes, it can be popped off if you ever need to access the key hole.

I've also ordered a set of rimlox after much research, backed up by a full 5 set of gorilla guard locks. I strongly recommend looking into rimlox if protecting your wheels and piece of mind is of highest concern. At this point I am more worried about my car being stolen so I am also putting in a fully decked out Compustar alarm system next week.

Disabling the key cylinder switch does not affect the actual metal key or cylinder itself. Therefore you would have no problems using the key should the occasion ever arise.

I checked the FSM for my '08, section PWC, pages 57 and 59. There are two wires going from the cylinder switch to pins 6 & 7 at the power window main switch harness in the driver door panel. You should be able to access the wires at the window switch rather than disassembling the whole door to get to the cylinder switch itself.

***Be sure to check the FSM for your year***

ILM, thank you again for looking into this further. Cutting the wires by the window switch is a lot better option than pulling the whole panel off to get to the cylinder switch.

So this is a big factor in me purchasing a g37. I live in North Jersey, and i see reports from 2008 of this happening. Infiniti still hasn't done anything? I simply dont want the window feature at all, i will never use it. None the less, i dont care about the actual key cylinder either. Is there a way to just take out the key cylinder completely and still be able to use the key fob for keyless entry?

Section DLK of the field service manual (FSM) will detail how to remove the door handle from the door. Be forewarned, it is not a piece of cake. Once you get the handle removed you should have no problem removing the key cylinder. From there it's a matter of plugging up the hole that remains.

I still say it is easier and equally as effective to just cut the wires coming from the key cylinder switch to the power window control unit. Much easier, less destructive, intensive and invasive, and reversible should circumstances change down the road.

That's just my 2¢.

What do you think about pouring adhesive/gorilla glue mixture into the keyhole and overfilling it, would it be enough to stop the force of a screwdriver?
