Adding options to C32
Hello all. This is my first post, evah. 
I just purchased an '03 C32 this week, so I am new to this.
I was wondering about the feature that allows you to rol down all fours windows and open the sunroof from outside the car. It is supposed be triggered by holding the unlock button for about three seconds while aiming the FOB at the driver's door handle.
Mine does not work.
What this feature called?
Was it an option or standard equipment on the '03 C32?
If my car does not have it, can it be added? (I'm in south Florida, and it would be really nice to have)
I apologize if this has been covered. I tried searching for it several different ways, but I could not find it.
Thanks in advance,
T

Yep, supposed to be standard. look for the little black square on the drivers door handle. That's the infrared receiver, point the remote towards it and it should work.

Well, I held it right up to the IR receiver, still no action. I tried the passenger side; nothing. I also tried the 'tunnel mode', where you hold the recirc button for a few seconds and the windows should cycle. That doesn't work, either. Everything works manually, just not those two neat features.
I am in North Dade. Nice to meet you.

Ok. Thanks for the invite. Where do I find out about the meet? Is there a website, or do you meet at a landmark or restaurant, etc?

I bought em on Ebay for under 200 bux. If you do a search under "w203 fog" you will find em. I had a PIAA Bulb in there. Not sure which one
I originally thought the previous owner installed HID fogs but when Ernie and I checked it tuned out to be some PIAA's. I plan on buying the slim ballast HID kit.

just noticed I think they are both from the same seller I believe even though they show different locations...the links look very similar except for the item number...

I really think its the same guy.
Did you know or anyone else that options like additional insurance and shipping costs are also other avenues they can get extra cash? I have a friend who sells baseball cards and told me the other ways to increase revenue...what slick a$$ people huh?

The shipping at 40 bux was kind of expensive however it was sent via EMS from Taiwan. A lot of sellers inflate the selling and insurance to collect extra $$$$. I always look for those upfront before deciding to purchase
