NATS Key .....

When I bought our wagon 6mths ago the central locking didnt work with the button on the key ring - if you unlocked the drivers door manually with the key it would unlock the rest as well, I replaced the battery in the remote and it worked for 24 hours then stopped so I gave up. Last week it got the better of me and I thought maybe it was a dodgy battery last time so I put a new one in it & it worked for a week and now stopped, has anyone had this happen?

I'm in the same boat champ, guy I bought my 4by off said he had the same issue and it didn't work for him either so maybe they're just dodgy.

I have never changed a battery - even after 4 years, and I use my truck all day every day

X2.. I bought a spare remote from Nissan in 2007 when I bought my Patrol and I've never changed the battery.
However, I've always been really annoyed that you have to be within an arm's length of the vehicle for it to work.
I'm guessing it's because the thing is so low powered to limit battery use..

Yeah my commodore works from across the state but this thing you have to be nearly nose to nose with it , another thing that pisses me off is as soon as the keys off the electric windows don't work - the Commodore you can take out the key and close the door, walk & away come back a couple minutes later & just flick the window button and the windows go up - the bloody patrol as soon as you turn the key off windows are dead I know it's only a small thing but it is annoying

The windows blocking annoyed me to the point that I put a switch in the dash to power them without having to put the keys back in.

It's on my list mate don't you worry [emoji36]

I know the pain. Jumped from the Commodore to the patrol and at times forget the Windows don't shut a short time after switching off the ignition. Found it handy in the commo especially on a hot day you can put the Windows down just by unlocking the car
