Advanced key?
Aside from the keyless start, wondering what's the difference between the P+ (without advanced key) and Prestige in terms of entry, locking the car, etc.? Can you unlock/lock the P+ door without removing the key from your pocket?

Sure, you can always leave the key in your pocket when you hit the lock/unlock button. 
(but seriously: the Prem+ acts like a standard remote key. You need to hit unlock and lock like normal. It's nothing like the Prestige advanced key.)

Thanks. Quick clarification: On the P+, when you say you can leave the key in your pocket when you hit the lock/unlock button, do you mean the buttons on the key fob itself, or the button on the door handles (if the P+ has 'em)?

On the fob itself (I believe). The Prem+ acts like the regular fobs you're used to.

What exactly is the difference between unlocking between Premium Plus and Prestige smart key operations? I saw in a post higher up in this thread that the P+ was nothing like the Premium? How?

So there are no buttons on the doors anywhere themselves? I have a smart key with my G35 and very much like the ability to leave my keys in my pocket or briefcase and just touch the button on the door to unlock.

Prestige: You just need to have the keyfob close to the car. You touch the door handle to unlock and open. You start and stop the car by pushing the "Start/Stop" button by the shifter. You touch the door handle button to lock.
I hope that helps.

Premium+: You use the keyfob like a traditional car. You push the "unlock" button to unlock. You start and stop the car by inserting the keyfob into the dash and giving it a push like a start/stop button. Push the "lock button to lock.

BTW, I'm currently in a G35 too, and REALLY love the intelligent key features. What are your thoughts on doing without the Advanced Key vs. bumping up to Prestige?
