Ali_z33 Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 As the title suggests, when I open my 350 using the spare key (which doesn't have central locking) as soon as I turn the key in the door the alarm goes off, but stops when I insert it in the ignition and turn it one click. Tried looking through old threads but couldn't find anything related. Any ideas why this happens? When I use the main key and open via the buttons on the key, this doesn't happen. On a separate note, any idea where I can get spare screws for my undertray? When changing my oil + filter I noticed some have corroded and snapped, and I even noticed one cable tie is also being used from the previous owner. Quote
Stutopia Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Does it not trigger the alarm simply because NATS is still armed, due to not using the remote to disable it? Quote
Almeida1234 Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 You can get a nuts and screw from any hardware shop. For the alarm issue, I take it as car doesn't start withe key, as alarm is armed? Quote

My thoughts ~ also this spare key if it doesn't have the central locking/alarm disable buttons could it not just be some sort of "valet" key?! Quote

That sounds like a good reason why it sets off the alarm. Nissan logo is on the spare key, not too sure what a valet key is. Was just wondering if there was a way to stop the spare key setting off the alarm as my GF holds the spare key, but i guess she can live with the alarm tripping.

Almeida the spare key does start the car, and thanks, i'll pop down to my local hardware shop Quote
GMballistic Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 A "valet" key is just a key that will unlock/lock the car and start the engine but usually not allow some other things; like opening a glove box, petrol flap etc or as in your case turning on/off the alarm. Usually these keys are designed for giving to "valet" parking or to a "valeter" when having your car cleaned/detailed. Quote
