remote closing windows

[Deleted member 66701]

My Ford Scorpio (1998) can but my wifes Modeo Ghia X (2001) can't

 

[encephalopathy]

skoda octavia does

very useful in summer for quickly cooling down car rather than climbing into a sauna

 

[ShakenNstirred]

it can be fitted to any car if you want it
my old rover 216 gti had it fitted years ago, it was a little box wired to the alarm

 

[Fr0dders]

My Vectra VXR did this.

 

[PROTOTYPE]

My 04 Astra CC has it, not just the windows but the roof can be operated from the fob, its only real use is for showing off.

 

[nickrose]

My Alfa Romeo Mito does.

 

[Shimmy]

My '01 Omega has it, should imagine most recent cars have it.

 

[BigglesPiP]

It might be shorter to list the ones that don't, even FIAT started doing it with the Stilo.

 

[Jez]

Pretty much all merc's do this too. Probably be easier to list the cars which dont tbh

 

[BigglesPiP]

I think for manufacturers outside the excecutive market, total open and total close are found on most stuff which has CANbus.

 

[PAULRYAN52]

so by the sounds of it it should at least shut them maybe even open them hopefully

Fraud being Fraud decided to make this an added optional extra they could charge for on my model of ST, same with the rear windows, and that's why mine are manual. Manual rear windows on car that cost 20k+ 3 years ago, lol! 2010 models all have it now though.

Yes it can, needs to be programmed in if it doesnt work, google for fordmondeo.org but that has changed to talk ford or something, there is a wiki on how to do it.

As said, BMW do it.

You only ever use it when showing mates you can wind the windows down off the key.

I've found 2 uses for it. Obscenely hot days, open windows without cooking your head. Stand outside with mates eating ice cream for a few minutes,

Or, passenger gets out without closing window, you don't notice as you walk away, so you close it remotely.

Anyway, my Saab did it, as did my mondeo

Doesn't need to be programmed per-se, its the one touch window calibration goes when the battery is disconnected. If they will open and close with one touch, on all windows, then they should do it with the remote

Vauxhall (have done since 1999)
Renault
BMW
Pugeout (certainly the 307)

old cavs and astras had it in well before that

I hate the feature! Twice now I have got up in the morning to find my windows down on the S3 because I've inadvertantly leant on the key fob in my pocket at some point during the previous evening

You think that's bad. I once went down to the car one morning to find I'd done the same thing, except it had lowered the roof as well.

As Fox said, it seems I only ever use it to show my mates it can be done. Serves no real practical purpose for me.

This.

Fiat are even in on the act recently as mine does it.

A lot of people use it when it's raining and they're running at their car with shopping whilst raping the unlock button.
