Auto window rollup w/ remote?
I was reading the owners manual for my 05 C230 Sport Sedan, and it said that if you pushed the lock button twice it would rollup the windows and close the sunroof. It also said that if you hit unlock again after you unlocked the doors, that it would roll the windows down to vent for summer. Not working for me, any ideas? Is this an option, or a programming issue?
Thanks,
Aaron

Yeah, couple things. You have to press and hold the lock/unlock button. You just have to keep holding the button untill they are down or up as far as you want. Oh btw it only works when the key is pointed at the drivers door in line of sight; it cant be done from the passenger side. Anyways thats what I heard and it works for me.

Did they ever have a sensor on the passenger side? I know '99 E class had it on both sides. Wouldn't it make sense to have on both sides? Greater range would be nice too!

Is there any way that that can be retro fitted? I would love to not have to walk into the street and around my car to use this feature!

my 2003 C230 SC has sensors on both sides. in 04 they just did the driver side. mine doesnt work half the time anyhow and last time i took it to the dealer they said they couldnt get it to fail. i forgot to test it when i got my car back from a service B and when i tested it later that day it still didnt work!

Its funny how the first 6 words in my original post said "I was reading my owners manual...". LOL.
Anyway, CarlsbadKmprssr, thanks for the input, You really have to "point" it exactly at the sensor for it to work.
Wonder why the door locks work differently with such good range, but the windows suck?

windows work on IR
I've got the IR sensor on both driver's & passenger's side, (2003 SC) and they both work great !!! Range is approx 15 feet.
