Open windows/moon roof via wireless remote?
According to owner's manual (pg 114), windows and moon roof can be opened by press and hold the unlock button. This feature can only be programmed by Lexus dealer according to owner's manual. I asked my dealer and they could only program to work with key, not unlock button. Has anyone tried programming the unlock button?

Are you talking about 4GS? According to owner's manual, not only it is not default, only dealer can set this function.

correct. only the dealer can set this function. had mine done a week after i got the car once i realized i couldn't do it myself. the only thing i don't like about this function is that you can not close the windows with the key fob which IMO is pretty dumb. i was told it was a safety issue. press and hold the unlock button and the windows and moonroof open. to stop all you have to do is release the button. so you can open the window to any height, to stop the window at any time release the unlock button.

Not sure why it differs between the manual and the "Lexus personalized settings" papers, but regardless, the dealer should be able to change it for sure.

Hey guys,
Out of curiousity, why do you guys like this? We have it on my wife's EX35, and frequently I find that the windows are rolled down when we don't want them. It's a pain as the key seems to accidentally get pressed and held in our pockets. I guess it's kind of nice in the summer to cool the car a bit - but I'd prefer to go with the security of knowing that it won't happen by accident.

My $0.02 - Here in TX, it gets pretty hot in the summers (triple digits - F). If the car is parked in a parking lot (say at a mall) in the afternoon, it gets incredibly hot inside. Opening the windows and sunroof while approaching the car lessens the 'heat wave' that hits you when you get into the car.
The button needs to be pressed for a few seconds continuously (while in range of the car) for this to work, so the likelihood of this happening by accident is low.
