Window Auto-up Feature

At least on US cars, the all-windows up button (center console) must be held "up" to raise all the windows. For the side windows, the up button has two clicks, the second allowing the auto up feature.

However, the rear windows won't auto-raise. You have to hold the button up. I'm sure it's a safety issue since the rear windows raise at an angle and probably don't pass (US) anti-pinch rules.

Are there any aftermarket options to enable full auto-up? Maybe a service menu setting or module?

The auto-up worked great on the R230. As you stated it was disabled for the R231. I thought I had read that the smart top module also handles that. Maybe I wrong on that. Search the forum...

I have the smart top and it handles that. It is well worth the money imo although it was a little funny watching a valet hit the open button twice and seeing all of the windows go down. He couldn't figure out what he did

I forgot about the Smart Top handling the windows. This seems worth it to me. Thanks!
