Default Opening sunroof

When trying to open the sunroof, there are 2 positions, with the 2nd position requiring you to press the open switch again after the sunroof moves to the first position. Anyone find a way to have the sunroof open to the 2nd position without having to press the button twice?

Looking for a short cut as I am lazy

Tried holding the button down longer but did not work. Have to basically hold the button until the roof is completely open, similar to an old Honda Civic I had.

hahahahaha!

I figured this was due to wind noise. It doesn't bother me too much. What does bother me is having 2 buttons to operate the moon roof.

In my 2013 accord it was one button with each feature integrated this means if i had the sunroof tilted up, and then I wanted it to be fully open i just had to hit open.

Now in the IS i have to close the sunroof with one button and open with the other. Not a huge deal just an annoyance coming from a simpler set up. Dang Toyota engineers.

Are you sure? I bet it's not. After it's fully open. Try to open it some more. Should open 4 more inches or so.

ok...i gottcha. forgot about that last 4 inches. i was referring to a quick push only opening it a little. a longer push opens it a lot. sorry for the misunderstanding.

The dealers should show people this feature. When I got my 2014, the guy did show me this feature. They didn't go over it when I got the 2016, but it's because we agreed to just go over stuff the 2014 did not have.
