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.

You can try the passenger side window to make sure it works.
No name for it realy...

Where are you in South FLorida?

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.

Wecome from another Miamian. We have a cool group that meets once a month - I think the first Sunday?

After the last one we all went out for Chinese food feeding frenzy.

moosejaw

Yum!
Well FNG we meet at the beginning of the month in Davie Tower Shops on the first friday of the month and at Starbucks in Aventura on the first Sunday of the month.
Hey man post some pics of your ride. We are all freindly and remember to always use the search function. However if you have any questions you can meet up with us and feel free to ask.

c55asleep?

I see you put that it only works manually. Try going to each window and holding the button all the way up for a few seconds then all the way down. Do that to all the window to activate the auotmatic features. Then repeat the remote feature from outside the car. Maybe b/f you purchased the car the battery was disconnected? Its just a past problem i ran into.

Hey Moosejaw where you buy those oval fogs...if cheap enough might change mine out. Also what bulb type they use?

moosejaw

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.

Is it this

or this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MERCE...spagenameZWDVW

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...

moosejaw

I bought the second ebay link
Dang too bad I would have got the other one for less

moosejaw

Woo Hoo I am official "Super Member Status" Where's the cake! 500 posts

c32used

They both say PayPal only

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?

c32used

I felt that way when I hit fanatic now trying for out of control...lol

moosejaw

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

moosejaw

I took some more pics while shopping at Home Depot

Moose - you did the install yourself?
