Is there a way to use the 2019 key fob to remotely lower the car windows for ventilation? For some reason, I thought there was some trick to do this, and I think maybe I even did it once, but I may have been hallucinating?
I can see my car from my office window, and it would be awesome to be able to lower the windows 10 minutes before I leave for lunch or mescaline.
On my 2018 C63 it seems to work when I point the black end of the fob at the steering wheel / dash area in the car (from outside) while holding the unlock button. I haven't tested how far away I can be and still work.
I've made it work on my 2019 C63S, but it's pretty clunky in actual operation. I've found that I have to push and hold the unlock button on the fob 3 or 4 times to get it to work. But, it does work eventually.
Works on mine as well, but not if too far away. It even turns on the driver seat ventilation. Lowers the windows, opens the sunroof and turns on the driver seat ventilation.

I just tried it and I can confirm that it works. I attempted it from a distance of only 3-4 feet, so I'll have to do some additional testing at different distances.
I have a cabriolet and I know holding the unlock button puts the windows and roof down. I have not gotten the lock button to put up the roof, just doesn't seem to work for me.
Yes, it works with my 2019 C63S sedan. It takes a while (a few seconds) before it kicks in though in my experience. Same with closing everything.
Even locking and unlocking in general does not work when I'm more than 10 ft or so from my garage when I'm behind doors. It may be just for security I think.
