Suggestion

It does not say anything about using the remote to raise/lower/close the windows, and since my remote does not work anymore I cannot test it to see if it will do what you describe.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I got a new key and had it programed by the dealer. However, I don't think its doing everything it should perform. An introduction video on the 996 said hold down the key for the doors to lock and set the alarm(mine works fine).. Continue to hold down the key and any open windows and open sunroof will close....not mine! Is this an option or on all cars?...thanks.

POST 2Original post

What does your owners manual say? My 99 owners manual says: "Comfort function when locking vehicle - Hold car key in door lock in the locking position (for at least two seconds) until the windows have reached the desired position." It does not say anything about using the remote to raise/lower/close the windows, and since my remote does not work anymore I cannot test it to see if it will do what you describe.

POST 3Original post

My 996.2 will roll down the windows if I keep holding the unlock button. Of course the range on my remote is not great, so that means standing at my car holding the button before getting in. I think I've done it once or twice when I was talking to friends before getting in and driving off. I use that feature more often with my wife's Honda Odyssey since the range on her remote is about 25x my Porsche and my BMW. Long range is a good and bad thing. We've found the minivan doors open in the morning because someone(Me) had their keys in their pocket and the button accidentally got pushed sometime in the evening. No such issue with the Porsche.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
