Default Found my car with all windows down???

This morning something strange happened. When I went to my GS430 to go to work I discovered that all my windows were down. The moonroof was closed. The doors were still locked, there was no sign of a break-in and none of the contents in the car were disturbed or taken. I am 100% certain I left the car the night before with all the windows up. Any ideas what could have caused this? Is there the ability with the key fob to lower all windows remotely? Could it be an electrical issue? This is very disturbing and I really have no idea what could have caused it. I recently had a dead battery and had it replaced by the dealer, but I can't see how this could be the issue. And yes, the dealer did reset the auto function on all four windows. Wierd huh? Your thoughts are appreciated.

if you press and hold the unlock botton on the fob, it will roll down all windows, then open the sun roof.
maybe you did this by accident last night?...

It's quite possible that the key fob was engaged inadvertently while in my pants pocket. Strange that the moon roof stayed closed and the doors remained locked. I guess the moon roof requires you to keep holding the unlock and if not stays closed. Also, would the doors relock automatically if no doors were opened? Maybe this is what happened.

yup, if no doors are opened, the car will relock itself.

The moon roof opening while holding down the unlock button is optional and can be changed via Lexus Personalized Settings.

Had a similar problem, was sitting in my barbershop and suddenly my alarm went off, had never done that before or since. I have a sneaky suspicion the Fob got squeezed between my leg and pantleg and caused the alarm to go off, what floors me, was the car was not in line of sight and parked about 300 feet away. Go figure what is really going on, how about a software glich?????

If it happens again, take out your key fob before you get a lap dance
