convenience window opening feature
« on: 23 May 2025, 20:29 »
Well, last week the convenience window opening feature stopped working. I am pretty sure that I could close the windows when locking the car by keeping my finger on the key fob lock button. I noticed that the convenience window opening feature was disabled in the settings so I enabled it. That sorted out the problem........well for a few days when it this feature disabled itself again,

I googled it and tried the two things that I found on the internet.

I set the convenience window opening feature to "all windows" and it worked again, but the next day it disabled itself again.

I tried the second thing which was to door an "all windows one touch" reset andthe feature worked again for a couple of days.

This morning when I started the car a load of alarms initiated and the car seemed to lose connection. The rear camera wouldn't work, the radio didn't work, it lost functions such as parking sensors, road sign recognition, lane assist and loads more. Anyway, when I finished work today and got in the car everything was back to normal, except that the convenience window opening feature disabled itself again. Did another one touch window reset and all seems fine.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or anything similar?

As previously mentioned, last week the convenience window opening feature stopped working.

Although I tried an "all windows one touch" reset and the feature worked again for a couple of days, it has disabled itself again. So I did another reset and 3 days later it disabled itself again.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or anything similar?

There is a one click APP for the 8.5 in OBD11 to calibrate the windows in the event that the pull and hold button sequence doesn’t work, may be worth trying.
