Did your alarm go off ? So curious... I would never expect a newer infinity to be broken into.

The security guard strolled by and saw my car was broken into. They didnt break any of the glass but opened the trunk so im not sure why the alarm wouldnt work.

Turns out whoever broke into my car knew what they were doing. Apparently in Infinitis if you jam a screwdriver into the keyhole and twist left it lowers both front windows. Way to go Infiniti.

Acura's have the same feature on certain models. Key in and turn and the windows will go down.

MKIV VW's were notoriously easy to do this to.
This is why I removed the key hole on my car.

I have a battery backup in my trunk, which I can connect to the 12V outlet in the trunk, which is enough to power my door locks. I can then unlock my doors and get at my battery.

So the keyhole is for backup in case the battery dies, yet it's tied to a feature that could only work if the battery is working?
Brilliant!

For the European cars like VAG, BMW you can buy a blank that replace the keyhole.. usually come primed so you have to get it painted. It slots and cover where the key cylinder used to be. Quote:

Wouldn't it be better to just disconnect the wiring going to the keyhole? That way you still have your emergency way in but a thief can't use it to pop the windows.
