Woke up this morning and looked out of the curtains to see my passengers side window wide open... Thinking the worst I went outside expecting to see the seats covered in broken glass. However... the driver side window was also down !! At some point during the night... it seems the windows had opened themselves :shrug: The interior alarm was fully active (as I found out when I stuck my head into the car).
Anyone had any issues like this??

Happened to me while I was doing the exhaust, had keys in pocket. Think it's a feature if you hold down lock and unlock at the same time or unlock and unlock and hold. Not sure why it would have happened during the night though :shrug:

Windows open if you hold the unlock button down on the key fob for 5 seconds.

Is it possible you sat on your key fob or something?

Thanks guys... I did think there was some sort of way the windows opened by pressing the fob in a certain way but the keys weren't anywhere near me :shrug:

It probably happened just after you got home / walking back to the house. I noticed some flashing lights on my drive and looked out, checked the car and it was unlocked, I had been locking it and unlocking it from the lounge by accident. The fob is super sensitised it seems.

I use this for my keys, works very well. I notice the guy upped his price since the £9.99 when mine arrived. Still working fine almost a year after buying tho.
You get 3 pouches, so you can keep the spare in a pouch too. Just remember the key goes into the gold section of the pouch.

I did this on a night filled with rain. joy. Or my 3 year old son might have. who knows. After that, I turned the feature off. Haven't had an issue since.

The other day I also popped my trunk (boot) without knowing it at the gas (petrol) station. Got in to drive away and got the trunk (boot) open message on the dash.

you're welcome for the translation.

Using one of these will protect your key and desensitize the buttons a wee bit helping with accidental button pushes :thumbsup:

I have one of these, it recesses the keys below the edge of the case, so they're harder to push by your butt when sitting down lol.

(Red one is mine, but RS blue and Black as well - Good if you want to paint them as well and have a custom design)

Had this happened christmas eve overnight
Had my daughter, her hubby and kids staying and was an awful night as a rather excited 4 year old could not sleep, that disturbed the 2 year old and then at around 3am my bloody car alarm went off.
I went out to the car and both windows were open. No way did I leave them both fully down!
