Power Window/Moonroof remote opening feature
Is there a secret sequence to deprogram this feature?:
Power Window and Moon Roof
Holding down the UNLOCK button on the Key-fob 2.5 seconds will OPEN all windows and moon roof (ON/OFF) - Default on
My dog ate my key fob. Every time she barks or takes a dump, all the windows and moon roof open on my GX. Seriously, I want to disable this feature without paying the dealer, if possible.

Get that remote out of the dog and your problem is solved...leave it in there and your vet bill will be a lot more than paying the dealer to shut off this option.

Thanks G Man, you are on the same wavelength. I was having fun with my dilemma but I guess I struck a nerve with the Bob Barker Fan Club. Let's see if they get that one.

I was pretty sure you were kidding...but to be honest I have absolutely no idea why you would need to turn this option off??? Just don't hold down the button...
And by the way I am probably not much older than you...if at all, but that does not mean that I am not going to miss Bob when he retires this

There was instructions on this site a while back reagarding disabling the auto door lock but I dont recall see anything about the instruction for the window and sunroof function. You may want to try Tundra solution or get a hold of a service manual. When I did my free customize setting. I was going to diable this feature too. After talking to some people on this forum, I found out that it is actually useful when entering the car on a hot summer day. It lets the car vent out for a min.or so.

I have used this feature, in the summer, and find it to be very helpful in purging the summer heat. Until...
The other morning I found my GX all open which was quite scary. There was a spritz over night and I had to wipe the inside down. I believe the fob was activated by the way my keys were positioned in my pocket overnight. No harm to the truck but I wish this feature would time out, perhaps 1 minute, then close.
I can take it to the dealer for the change, but I was hoping to toggle this option on a seasonal basis. This would reduce the possible accidental activation time to only the summer months.

Have you Lexus spayed or neutered.

Let's say it's a rainy night and you're carrying groceries to your car. You want to open the rear hatch using the key fob, but accidentally press the Unlock button instead. Before you realize your mistake, all windows including the moon roof are open. Now you must get into the car and start the engine before you can close anything. Front seats soaked and headliner stained. I pulled the fuse for the moon roof to prevent this accident from happening.

Its in the owners manual for sure. When my battery died it disabled upon battery replacement. Its the same for the automatic moonroof open/close feature if I'm not mistaken. I could be wrong but i would try it. It was like holding the power moonroof button open until it beeps or something like that. Good luck.
