Let's be accurate here. The motion sensor was an extra cost option on the 1997 Audi A4. The standard security system was an anti-theft system, just like Infiniti's.
Also, for what it is worth, Audis cost more than Infinitis. If you want what Audi gives you, pay more and buy an Audi.

Motion sensors were standard on the 1997 A4. And you're the one that keeps saying industry standard. I would consider the A4 in the same general class as the Infiniti G35/G37.

Mortion sensor or impact sensor, the window should not roll down if the key is punched. Car alarms don't do crap as far as security. There are so many false alarms people don't even bother looking around when they hear one.

Callaway makes a big point here.
Forget about the motion sensors, shocks sensors and any other sensors.
the window should not roll down in the first place by punching the door lock.

If you thought this was a neat feature when you bought the car, did you not realize that if you could roll down the window by inserting your key in the lock that a smart thief could do the same thing?

Again, let's be accurate here. The windows do not roll down when someone punches a hole in the door. The windows roll down when someone activates the automatic roll down function via the key hole.

Where you can automatically activate the windows by your remote, a thief can do the same by a computerized infrared device.
What about the people with computerized garage door openers? Should the automatic garage door companies go out of business because someone can drive by your house and open the garage with a computerized sending unit?

Do you not realize that all cars with automatic opening windows, via the key hole, have this same problem?

I was going to respond to your earlier, but stopped.
Let's be clear here. This is not a security flaw. This a feature which Infiniti, like many other car manufacturers, has designed into their vehicles.
You might have even thought it was neat when you bought this car how you could roll down the windows by inserting the key into the door.
Don't blame Infiniti for giving the customer what the customer wants. It seems Infiniti can not win here. If it does not give you what it's competitors give you, then Infiniti is cheap or behind the times. If it does give you what everyone gives you, and thieves figure out how to take advantage of this, well, it is still Infiniti's fault for giving you a competively set up vehicle.
