Keeping the lock button pressed on the remote fob allows you to roll up the windows and close the sunroof??

Obviously you don't have a stock remote key fob.

And fob is another name for the remote control that locks/unlocks the doors.

it would be way too hard to believe. i am pretty sure from factory no gs came that way, it's not even in the manual. would love to see a video of that

and yes, if you just keep on pressing the lock, panic we go

Well seeing as your GS isn't USDM, maybe thats why.

Are powerfold mirrors even an option on the 01-04 GS?

oh wait wait, sorry, i didn't read that youare not in the US. then it's very possible!!!! my apology, i was talking about all the gs in the US. outside of US they could have different setup

just like the jdm version, you can turn on just the fogs as is without any hacks. now i guess we know you can roll up the windows withthe lock button
