Hi every one thought i would share this with you outtie lovers. Was reading about the windows on removing them and found out that , if your windows are down and you take the igintion key out and walk away and think fxxk windows open press the remote locking button twice and hold for one second and all the windows close. How cool is that.

That is a pretty cool feature. My brother's Audi has that too and the role down feature (using the key to unlock the door and hold it in the unlock position until windows are down). Gadget features that are cool IMO.

Hmm, I tried this with my 07 XLS and it didn't seem to work. I tried 3 presses and hold and 2 presses and hold and got nothing. My 350z does do this though wuth one single press and hold. Can anyone else confirm or is the for the first gen Outlander?
Edit: I noticed your in Europe, so maybe that is only for the Euro models. Can anyone stateside confirm this?
Tried it on my UK Warrior Spec and it works. Next best feature next to the remote folding mirrors.

I think I read this was only for Euro models. I'll try it later today on my US model.

That wouldn't be too bad. I always close my windows any way. Would have been nice to have it for free, but I ain't gonna pay the extra cash like the Europeans do for toys and extra features like that. I mean, how often do I need to do that? And if you forgot to close the window, there's a great likelihood you wouldn't even know you forgot (that's why you forgot about it in the first place

).

You get less extra's because you only pay less if my outlander on a like for like basis would cost you $42000 and you get a 3litre engine and my UK only gets a 2liter diesel you get an auto box wth flappy paddles we only get a 6 speed manual you get a 5 year warranty we only get 3 years you get leather we get cloth trim.
The US government give you protected lemon laws we in the UK don't
You get my point?

I think its only programming, i know because of laws in the US this function is not available because of safty reason. In VW cars you can enable it only changing configuration the same as clossing the door locks.
I dont think you have to reflash

I've never heard of this law, but my 350Z will open the windows by holding down the remote unlock. I can also close the windows, but I have to use the key in the lock. I have tried both of these methods and the one described in the original post and none have worked on my Outlander.

Safety, shouldn't be too much of an issue, as the Outlander is fitted with anti trap windows.

No law about this. Every German car sold in the US now has this feature, along with most Japanese cars.

Almost all cars have available closing windows with key lock.
The problem is that according to the safty laws you remote control should only work when you have clear view to your car to avoid injuring some one with the window.
Almost all remote control dont work this way that why its not available in the US.
