key fob and windows

[Poisonedwell]

In the manual it says if I hold down the unlock button for a few moments both windows will automatically come down. Well, after 30 seconds nothing happened with mine. Does this need to be dealer programmed?

On mine I press the button 1 time ( unlocks the drivers door ), press it again, ( unlocks the passenger door ) and then press and hold it for about 5 seconds or so and ----- the sunroof and the windows open.

You have to hold the button down on the last one, but not on the first 2. Stand in front of the car and watch the doorlocks.

I believe this is a dealer program option, but I was thinking it was the default setting, not sure though.

Give that a try.

On mine it unlocks the boot wen i keep my finger down!

[MiniMinor]

I had mine reprogrammed, changed from boot opening to window drop & sunroof open..

[Rayman]

Thats cool so u just ask ur dealer then? did it take long?

[wibbly]

Yes its called comfort opening or something similar, if you have a sunroof will do that as well at the same time as the windows

[MiniMinor]

Yeah sort of.

My old man knows one of the technitions, so when it went in for a job to be done he did it for me.


Not sure if it's a chargable service or not.

Apparantly they can go up again wen u get out too, just been reading this:- http://www.mini2.com/forum/first-generation-mini-cooper/54824-unlocking-windows.html

It sez if you lock the door with the key the windows etc go back up!

[Rayman]
