Booyah!
same apply for a unshut door chime

I had a MB E320 that when you held the lock key, all of the windows (and moonroof) would close. I don't see that on my 04 LS430.

I held down the unlock button and all the windows started to roll down. I figured they would roll back up with the lock button but I've never tried it.

non US market LS430s supposedly had this feature, iirc no LS400s or LS430s got it due to liability concerns.

See that little padded tube behind the rear view mirror...its a pull down sun visor for the gap between the regular visors.

I'm guessing they meant the button on the door handle for cars equipped with the Smart Key.

For physical turn key owners, turning clockwise to unlock, then turning and holding clockwise will bring the windows down. (Counter-clockwise and hold to bring the windows up.)
