It's so true. Small design things matter. Good design does not have these issues. We just use it and it goes un-appreciated most of the time. Bad design always has this happen. And it is true in this case too. Every time you go to open the car, you get frustrated, because the mind has already been trained through many good products, that access to the important function is at the top and usually a larger button than the rest. Imagine a square with 4 buttons in each corner. We recognize and touch buttons starting from the top left going to the bottom right. The right-to-left language speaking people, like in Arabic, will be opposite. But the idea remains the same. The most important button is always at in a prominent position that has easy access to muscle memory.

Yeah, my VW remote is clearly better thought out.

Maybe the 'Intelligent Key' button layout assists vision impaired people find the Lock & Unlock buttons easier. Seriously.... there must be a reason as the Nissan 'Intelligent Key System' is the same with both lock and unlock being next to each other. Also, that Speaker key is the 'Vehicle Locating Button'.

Even after almost a year of owning I still push the wrong buttons all the time. lol.

I have the same problem lol... What I like to do is to hold it upside down, that way the logo at the back is on top like most car keys and the lock and unlock buttons are at the top too.

Press the top button once and then hold it in until it starts.

Yes, you can. Mine is the LUX and the X has added extras on top.

Can you turn the car off with the remote?

Why use the remote to lock the car? Just touch the handle and it locks.

Correct, although I find that system isn't always as reliable as it should be. A few gremlins still to be worked through.

That is why I asked him if he was a pommy.

Guessing but could be that Its the cheapest way to develop the electronics behind the button layout!!!
