I haven't bought my "c-two" yet, but when I do, I'd like the ability to (in the morning) get in and just crack open the windows slightly (to reduce the interior heat build-up as it sits in the sun before I leave for work hours later). Can I do this without starting the gasoline engine? If so, what is the procedure?
View 9 RepliesThe noise seems routine. It happens when you get close to the car and open your door. I guess the car is anticipating that you will start the car soon and under the hood, some subtle mechanical noises occur. Just wondering what that noise is?
View 3 RepliesWhen I'm driving and I open just the rear windows - I get a buffeting, choppy, shaking noise - kinda like the whop, whop of a copter blade. The first time it happened I thought I had a flat tire. Is it the cover for the cargo area?
View 15 RepliesI think one of my family members left our 2006 Prius on overnight. Now the doors won't open except with the key and the car won't start. Can the auxillary battery be charged with a battery charger like on a "normal" car?
View 3 RepliesMy car alarm goes off, or at least it tries to, when I open the car in the morning. Then every time I try and start the car, it seems to delay starting. IE. I put key in and it struggles to turn on, and lights dim.
View 6 RepliesMy 2001 Buick Lasebre is not starting properly. I have to pump the gas several times before it will start; then when it is started at low speeds or idle it wants to stall. As long as I can some how keep pushing the gas peddle it wont stall. On the other hand when I am driving at higher speeds, anything above 40 or so it runs perfect. The check engine light was on and shows EGR valve stuck open. I have replaced the Mass airflow sensor, fuel filter, and the EGR valve. I had the code cleared and a short while later my check engine light came back on with the exact same reading. I bought this car only a week ago and was not expecting to have to fix a car I just bought and ran fine while test driving it. I have read may different forum that say that it could be anything from my fuel pump to vacuum hoses, to some other sensor.

View 5 RepliesSlightly shaking engine and rattling noise on acceleration,it happens when the car is hot and especially when the battery level is very low ,I guess is when as more load . If I accelerate and keep it steady at 20mph I can feel a constant vibration but goes away once accelerating more....like if you're driving on a rippled surface ....that is only when engine is on , doesn't happen on electric only.
The noise it sound like a tapping coming from the engine when slowly accelerating from 0 that goes away as soon I give more gas ,is annoying wile in the traffic.? Can the sparks plugs be the problem?they been changed 120k ago.....,I cleaned the egv pipe but problem still there. Like I said is only when the engine is up to running temperature.
I am really an mk4 guy but my wife just got a new 2010 golf and we are both too lazy to get out the manual and read. how do you open the windows using the key fob???

KESSY: I figured out how to close all windows when locking, but is there a way to open all windows on unlock? There seem to be options in the "Convenience" menu pertaining to window operation, but I don't really see any effect when switching them. The manual is less than useful on this...
I've searched and it seems this is only possible if you open the drivers door and hold down the window switches, but I just want to check...
Is there a way to open the windows from the key fob/remote? This would be really nice since the remote start function is so poorly implemented.
My BMW opens the windows if I hold down the unlock button on the remote or if I put the key in the door lock cylinder and turn and hold (can also close the windows with the key in lock, but not the remote). I've tried and didn't get it to work, but my remote start also gives me fits, so I'm not sure that I'm actually holding the button down right or long enough.
I installed a non-auto euro switch. I tried scandinavian drls and that left all my exterior lights on at all switch positions, even off and when the key is off. I switched no drls and the switch works as it is supposed to. I tried enabling some of the comfort stuff. I want the remote to be able to open and close the windows, but I can't get it to do it. I think i have the right boxes checked in vag com, but no luck.
View 6 RepliesA couple weeks ago I went home sick from work, doped up on medication. We ran through the drive through for dinner, and it was really cold out. Woke up in the morning to find ALL my windows down and the sunroof open.......and it snowed about 1/4 inch. My wife went with me and she was sober, and swears that all the windows were up when we went in the house. Now, I am at work and had a customer come in and tell me that my windows were down, and the sunroof was open half way. This time I KNOW FOR A FACT that they were up and the sunroof was closed when I parked it.

How reliable is this make an model?
How much in the hole can i see myself with the above mentioned window issue?(not sure exactly what the problem is)
Any specific questions i should ask when i go to see the car?
I have a customer with a 2013 Touareg. He wants to be able to open the windows with the FOB as he approaches the vehicle. I was able to use VAG-COM to allow the driver's window open/close, but not the remaining windows.
View 3 RepliesWhen I first got my 2006 Lexus RX400h (LOVE the car, btw), I would unlock all the doors by clicking twice on the unlock button on the key fob, then hold it down to open the trunk.
My dad went to get something from the trunk and I gave him the same instructions. Well when he did it (we were in the middle of a rain storm) all of the windows opened and not the trunk. Now this is what happens every time.
I'm not sure what happened, but I'm really missing opening my trunk through my key fob especially when my hands are full. Why this is happening and how I can open my trunk using the key fob again?
I have heard that there is a way to program the FOB so that when you hold down the UNLOCK key for a few seconds the windows and sunroof opens.
is there a way to program this ourselves? Or is this only available at the dealer, and if so, will there be a cost associated with it?
This isn't a knock specifically on the Elantra.
It is a knock on all vehicles with electric windows.
Specifically on the Elantra though, is there any way to make the window up & down buttons work with no key in the ignition?
As much as I like power buttons for windows, I miss the crank windows when the key it out of the ignition.
Is this something that can be done with the remote? Does it have to be activated by the dealer? I can open/close windows/sunroof with the key but not with my remote.

View 2 RepliesI'm wondering if my 2010 Toyota Highlander has a feature that my old Lexus and my old Infiniti had.
When you pressed and held the "unlock" button, it would first unlock the door and then it would start rolling down the windows and sunroof - an excellent feature in hot, humid Florida.
I called the Toyota dealership where I bought my Highlander and they told me 1) they didn't know, and 2) I could bring it in and they could hook in to the computer (at their hourly rate) and let me know. In other words, I can pay them to find out what their technicians should already know about the vehicle.
On my Lexus and Infinifi, it was set by a key fob button press sequence so I was hoping that 1) the feature deos exist, and 2) it's an easy and free setting change.
