I was watching tv the other day and seen a car that when you walk up to it, well it appears to be able to detect you? Don't ask me how, but when you are in certain amount of feet the doors unlock and interior lights come on.. I swore that there was NO key? The car on the comcerial was black if I can recall and it was parked in a parking garage when the guy walks up to it? Infinity, Lexus maybee? Can anyone who either knows what I am refering to please post the car. A guy at my work thinks I'm NUTZZZ  and I need to prove him wrong? Thanks so much.. Spankey

isnt there just a sensor in the key that you carry around? it detects the sensor and then opens the doors automatically?

Nate-
Thanks, but I don't think thats it..My neighbor seen it as well, although he doesn't remember what car it was..
When you enter the car instead of a key, you push a button to start it.. Don't ask me how but I need to find out the name of that car...
Thanks again
Spankey

It's the Lexus LS430...it's just a sensor in the key the performs like a key fob.
Mercedes Benz also has a simlar feature. You carry a credit card size chip that allows you to start the car by pressing a button on top of the shifter.

The Infiniti lines offer it as well. Check the websites. The automakers call it different things. I know it's offered on the FX45s though. Pretty cool feature.

I have the auto-unlock feature on my car alarm. Walk up to the car it unlocks, walk away after you turn the car off and it locks.
The Benz system also shuts off your car after a few mins if you get car jacked and the key card leaves the car.

My 95 Corvette did that... though you couldn't start it w/o the key like on the new Benz's, etc.

I'm pretty sure the newest cadillac's have this, as does the new C6 corvette.

The Caddy XLR definitely has this, and it also has a "keyless" ignition. Saw this at a GM display last year.
