Nissan warns U.S. cellphones can disable car keys

Nissan North America has a warning for customers: placing your electronic key too close to your cellphone could leave you stranded. Sounds like these electronic keys still have a way to go in the lab before being out in the wild.

"We discovered that if the I-Key touches a cellphone, outgoing or incoming calls have the potential to alter the electronic code inside the I-Key," Nissan spokesman Kyle Bazemore said."The car won't start and the I-Key cannot be reprogrammed," he added.
