Hey, you can open the windows with the key :-)
« on: 08 August 2009, 12:11 »
Maybe some of you know this already, but I just discovered that by holding the unlock button down on the key, all 4 side windows open :) This is a really useful feature in hot weather (like we've got in France at the moment) and I've only been able to do this previously on the BMWs I've owned. Well done, VW - a cheap, but very useful addition to the list of gadgets :)

dan_apps, If you had your key on you, you could have called someone at work; if you point your key into your mobile and they hold their phone near your car you could have save your dad a trip!  :wink: I bet everyone is going to try this tonight, worked on my mk5!
