CES was not the only industry show this week.

\"2007<\/div>\n

<\/font>Every Holiday Season it happens; and no, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not talking about a pandemic of passed out relatives after hitting the eggnog a little to hard, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m thinking of the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153December to remember sales event at your local {insert name of luxury vehicle here} dealer.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0 You know the advertisements, right? Elated holiday revelers wake up to find a new car in the drive with a big red bow affixed to the top.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>Now aside from the pure, unadulterated, jealousy that these ads evoke, as I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve yet to wake Christmas morning to such a display of affection and extravagance, I have to ask, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Who really gets\/gives a new car as a holiday present?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0 Well, this year I can bear witness first hand to just such an event. My mother-in-law was the gleeful recipient of a new Nissan Altima, a very fine present indeed.<\/font> <\/font><\/font>But what makes this event noteworthy was what happened next, as Donell entered her car for the first time and prepared to rev its engine to life she made a shocking discovery, there was no ignition key. It was then that her husband handed her a small stick of buttons and explained that this device was the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153key\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and that as long as it was within a couple of feet of the steering wheel the car would start with push of a switch!<\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\"Nissan<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/font>So how does this work? What is the magic of this transmitter, can I now jack cars left and right with a Bluetooth headset?<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>Nissan Describes this marvelous break-thru as: Intelligent Key with Push-button Ignition<\/font><\/font>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You won’t find this on other cars in the class: Intelligent Key with keyless push-button ignition, which comes standard on every Altima. All you have to do is push the button on the dash, which signals the standard Intelligent Key in your pocket or purse to start the car, and you’re off.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>But what is my neighbor, or more likely a gang of 15 year old geeks decide they are tired of jacking WiFi hotspots and want to move up to GTA: Key FOB City instead? Apparently there is not much to stop them as reported by leftlanenews in their story, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Gone in 20 Minutes: using laptops to steal cars<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or as documented on the J-Walk Blog\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Keyless Entry Hack<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/font><\/font><\/font>Kind of makes you long for an old hand crank to start your ride!
