if u have the highline computer it can be turned off from the steering wheel. i think its called the convenience module.

What age is the car as I think there was a problem with the earlier models were this used to happen.  Can't remember what caused it though I'm afraid.

Edit:  Just had a quick search and found a post that says if it was an early model is was apparently fixed with a software update, if not possibly a faulty module.

From what I can work out you can bring down the windows if you hold the door open button on the remote fob as you approach your car, to let fresh air in on hot days. I dont think its a fault with any thing, its a manufacture design, I just want the software to be switched off, so im not accidentily opening them if the key is in my pocket, I wasnt sure if you could press some buttons in a certain sequince to turn it off. does any one know. My car is the 57 plate.

As someone said above, it can be switched on/off via the Highline but if you haven't got that it will have to be done via VCDS.

I was just letting you know there were problems with early models in case the button wasn't getting pressed in your pocket.

This happened to me once or twice.

My back wiper goes off on its own when I start the car and my temperature gadge shows minus at times aswell.

Strange bits of the car I love.
