It’s advisable to ventilate your car before you get in if you don’t want to melt in the summertime furnace. However, how can you do it without going inside your BMW? Quite simply, using one of your secret key fob techniques.
To make your windows open, simply press and hold the unlock button for a short period of time. The windows will close as soon as you let go of the button. Do you also want to open the sunroof? The door will fully open if you continue to hold down the unlock button.
You must now press and hold the lock button on your key fob for a few seconds for the windows to fully close if you want them to open again. Unfortunately, you will have to temper your enthusiasm because where you live greatly affects the window closing feature. It is typically enabled in European nations, allowing you to use it without restriction.
However, due to local laws, if you drive a car designed for the North American market, you probably won’t have that option added to your key fob. You’ll need to program your car to make it operate. You can achieve that using BimmerTech’s remote cable coding as one method. Purchase the Remote Window Control option, schedule a quick and painless coding session with a BimmerTech expert, and take pleasure in aerating your vehicle before you even get in.

All I have to do to lock all my windows, including the sunroof, is press and hold the lock button on my key. The sunroof will thereafter be closed after all the windows have been closed.
I don’t understand why this couldn’t be programmed into U.S.-spec vehicles. Any BMW dealer should be able to program it in with only a simple request. hmmm
Once I got in and started going over 5 mph, my car did not automatically lock; all I had to do was take it to the dealer to have this feature programmed in. So, in my opinion, all of these things simply need to be turned on.
Can you use a key fob to close BMW windows?
If you hold your finger on the ridged portion of the external door handle, you can close the windows even though you can’t with the remote. If you have access to comfort, that is. The key should also be able to be removed from the fob, inserted into the keyhole, turned to the lock position, and held in that position.
Can I use the BMW app to close windows?
Not offered on the X1 and not offered on any car in North America, where rules mandate that windows and sunroofs can only be closed if you can see the car directly. Even in North America, the key fob may only be used to unlock the windows and sunroof (unless you code that function in which is against the law..)
Is it? Back in 2015, I was able to open and close windows with the fop and drop and close the top with the keyfob when test-driving a brand-new F33.
When I put the SmartTop module to my 2018 F33, it accomplished the same thing and was much better.
I awoke in the morning shortly after we received our F48 and saw all the windows were open. The key must have been in my pocket when I must have touched a button. Soon after, I left it at an airport and used the app to verify that everything was secured and secure, which it was. Several things happened at once that caused me to wonder “what if I had checked it and found the airport parking people had left the windows open—could I have closed them?” No way was BMW’s response. That didn’t impress me.
Thank you; the key automatically performs remote closing from a close distance. But not if you’ve left the key at a parking garage at the airport, you’re on the other side of the globe, and you can see from the app that the windows have somehow been unintentionally left open. From a distance of thousands of miles, you can use the BMW app to see that the windows are open but not actually close them. I’m happy to be proven wrong if Bimmercode has a solution for that, but as far as I know, it doesn’t.
The solution I came up with was to purchase a BMW key fob into which the key slides; this prevents unintentional button pressing, but it creates an unsightly and bulky lump in my pocket. The device also boasts of preventing unintentional key button pressing!
You’re right. For that, Bimmercode does not have an answer. I’m unsure of any alternatives to your solution. Maybe they’ll incorporate it into the BMW app at some point.
Can you lock the window by holding it down?
Press and hold the lock button for at least two seconds in order to close all of your windows and your sun roof. Simply press the lock or unlock button on the fob to prevent your windows from closing.
The functions of the buttons on a BMW key.
Simply pressing the unlock button on the key fob’s top will unlock your BMW. Within the settings menu of the automobile, you may select whether to unlock all the doors or simply the driver’s door. The alarm system will also be engaged and all the doors, the boot, and the fuel cap will lock when you press the BMW roundel in the key fob’s center. When the lock button is pressed and held down, some models will also fold in the wing mirrors, close the sunroof, and any open windows. Press the boot lid button on the key fob’s bottom to open the boot lid while standing outside the vehicle. For BMWs with automated tailgates, holding it down will unlock the lock and open the boot. There is no need to be concerned if, in the odd case, neither supplied key fob is functional. The integrated key can unlock and lock both the glove box and the vehicle.
How is a BMW key fob used?
You won’t be able to use keyless entry or remote unlocking if your BMW has Comfort Access if the battery in your key fob has died. You can still enter and manually start your automobile, though.
Press and hold the key release button at the remote fob’s base while unlocking the door of your car, then slide out the internal key blade. This can be used in place of a standard key to unlock your car. You can locate a little hole on the bottom of the handle if the keyhole is hidden on your car door. Use the key blade to pry off the trim panel and expose the keyhole by inserting it into the hole.
Once you’re inside, put your remote key fob in the ignition slot or, if your car doesn’t have one, press it up against the steering column’s key markings. If your key fob dies, you will still be able to start your BMW using the start/stop button on the dashboard.
How is a BMW window raised manually?
It appears that my rear passenger side window regulator has failed, since the window is currently jammed down. Can I manually roll up the door panel till my regulator arrives in the mail if I take off the door panel?
I held the button down for about 30 seconds before receiving the window anti-trap error. It appears that changing the regulator is the only way to get it going again. Apparently, slamming the door might be helpful. Did you ultimately just change the regulator? The motor is making a sound as though it attempts for a moment but fails to move.
Why not just replace the window regulator while you’re inside if you’re going to remove the panel to try to manually roll up the window?
I don’t enjoy having my window down while waiting for the regulator, especially on the freeway. In order to stay up till I acquire the regulator, I was able to jimmy some tap on the regulator and holder.
I’ve discovered that INPA may electronically reinitialize the window before rolling it up from within the program.
You’ll have the identical issue if you fully open the window once more.
Stop the window just before it completely descends to avoid this. Nothing will get stuck.
Grab the window in the door with a pair of needle nose pliers. Choose a location that is near to the b-pillar end.
of the entrance. Use the switch to lift the window simultaneously as you slowly pull it higher.
You might need to remove the panel and force the window up if the regulator breaks. To roll the window up if the wire broke, you will need to remove the regulator. It hurts. Even after changing the regulator, both continued to happen to me. I simply don’t fiddle with the back windows any more. I have no idea what’s wrong. perhaps tint
Mine operates in a similar manner; to make it go, I simply gently flick the control upward every few seconds.
Today, mine became stuck in the down position. perhaps the cold was to blame But in any case, doing the constant flicking was the key. I raised it all the way. I must now keep an eye on it. Thanks!!!!
