Default How to roll your windows up with your key.

Some of you might already know this...

you can roll up ur windows from the outside with your key.

its kinda of a hassle since you cant do it with your remote... but if you pop off the cover on your door handle (insert actual key into slot on the bottom) , you access the manual key hole. now turn ur key to the left and hold it. all windows and sunroof will now close.

Why the heck would you bother? It's easier just to get back in the car.

yes it works......

then people will start messing with the keyhole trying to steal your car.....?

no thanks!

I'd rather keep the keyholes covered and let people wonder if my car REALLY got keys......

Agreed. I wish it was as easy as holding down the lock button!

Lol i had a buddy of mine call me one day to tell me he couldnt come and pick me up after all. I said why not. he said because my remote wont work, i think the batteries are dead. I said um ok why dont you just use the key to open the doors. there was silence for 5 seconds. I knew for those 5 seconds he was calling himself a dumbass. All he could come up with is, o yea, ill be there in a lil bit. So the moral of the story is, stay in school. That and hes a rich kid.

I would never pop that thing off my door handle unless I really had to.

Probably the most worthless feature on the car. It would be three times as fast to just get back in and shut all windows and sunroof. The reason that the lock button can't be held down to shut everything is because Lexus deems it as a safety hazard, correct?

Only in the US. The rest of the world where people are expected to show some intelligence before they sue has the auto rollup feature enabled.

there's another option where u can roll up your window with a remote, i had the viper 5000 car alarm installed on my car and the technician installed the feature that allow me to roll up and down my windows with the viper alarm remote.
