Window funkiness !

geordie_zed · Post by **geordie_zed** » Tue Nov 07, 2017 6:10 pm

Just found this out at the weekend ...

Unlock car with one button press - window goes down a couple of cms when you open door handle and closes when you close the door
Unlock car with two button presses - window goes almost all the way down when you open the door handle and closes when you close the door

At first I thought it must be an error but it's reproducible so I guess it's a function with a reason ... any one know why ?

I know if I hold the unlock button then the windows all go down and the roof opens

It's for "easy access" much easier to get into the car in a tight space if the window is down..

Less pies helps too.

For info, you can download the manual as an app on your phone, just search BMW drivers guide in your app/play store.

But we're blokes - manuals are for gurls.

The manual on my 4 series is on the car's hard drive, or so I'm told.

I downloaded an Ipad app for it and use that, although it never seems to deal with the issues that I have.

Or you never seem to have your phone / ipad when you have the issues to deal with

Don't apologise. TFM ain't very good.

If everything else fails, then read the manual ...
