^ What? No way. Take a video, I wanna see this! The dealer even told me that it can't be programmed that way...

Unless your running some sort of aftermarket system...

Yeah, the aftermarket alarm system is why yours does that.

From the factory this function is not available in the US (well, down is, just not up)

Oh nvm then, yeah with an aftermarket system I believe you.

I thought you were able to do it on the stock system lol

Here in Europe al IS have this function. I have the completely base model and even I can roll them up with the remote.

It happend to me also, 2 times. First it was in the driveway and after a couple of seconds the alarm went on (from the wind I think). Second time it was in the garage, and no alarm this time.

Go to home depot and buy the hangable bags of Damprid. They come about 6 to a pack and if your car got badly soaked I'd say use two bags.

Yup, I mentioned that back in post #5 in the thread- it's available on overseas models but not in the US.

The presumptive reason being they're afraid someone will sue toyota/lexus because their kid was sticking their head out the window when it got rolled up via remote or something.

(and given how many have tried suing because they're too stupid to use a floor mat correctly, they're probably not wrong)

There's 2 good solutions for the "rolling down by accident" issue though if you don't NEED the rolling down function at other times- one I mentioned, just turn off the feature via LPS... the other is swap your key fob out for a smart card- still opens the car/trunk, but no buttons to press by accident.

Definitely sucks to hear, but I like the feature to air-out the hot air after a long day of sitting in the SC sun.

Get yourself some Damp-rid to get rid of the lingering moisture in the cabin.

GL!

Did you press unlock, release and then press and hold down unlock the second time?

If that doesn't work, it's probably just not programmed/enabled.

Newer models have this function default to off. You'll need to have your dealer turn it on.
