No. Only way to turn it up without turning car on is using the key in the socket.

i never understood why we can roll down the windows w/ remote, but can't raise or close them up.. i would find myself rasing up windows w/ remote more useful.

I asked this question last year when I just got my car. It even says in the owners manual that it can be done. But, I brought to the dealer, and they told me that it's a generic manual, so it applies to other cars, but not the GS...BULL! Someone on here says it a liability issue because it could close on someone's fingers...I guess that makes sense. But, I am still not happy because on my wife's car, she can get the windows up, and down without any issue. Oh, well, you win some, and you lose some.

This is a really old question!!!

Nope, we do not have the option to remote up the windows, except rest of the world!!!

Thanks to the stupid parents and the U.S. laws (anti-pinch windows), so we cannot have that option in the US...

I know because I can roll up my windows on my GS350 in Taiwan and without the ugly "Shark Fin" on the roof!!!

I have asked the service advisor and the mechanic, they told me in order to make this feature works on the US version's GS350, I would have to change out the ECU on it!?!
