Question Windows down after i come back?

Guys i have a 2007 IS 350. This doesn't happen all the time but its happened 5-6 times in the last few months. I usually leave my car in the garage and when i go to get in my car in the morning every window in the car is 1/2 down. Its winter and of course i never roll the windows down. Is there something i'm doing to cause this or is this some type of electrical failure?

thanks,
Ncage

Very interesting , I have the same problem with my IS 250 2007. It happens maybe 4-5 times/ year. I have asked my dealer, but they have never heard of it. I guess it's something you just can recreate when you want it, so I do not know how to show them the problem.

You can have your dealer change the LPS option to disable the ability to roll down the windows from the remote. I decided to do so a while back when I came out of work and found all my windows rolled down. (Thankfully it wasn't raining, and nothing was stolen)

Yeah, I did this once to my gf's 328i. I guess I was leaning on it somehow and opened all the windows and sunroof while I was in the restaurant. I have disabled this feature as I see no point in this function.

Btw, cute Bichon Frise. Mine is 8 months old.

From what I understand, if you remove the key cover and put the mechanical key in the door lock and hold it in the locked position, the windows and sunroof will close. Needless to say, this is far more trouble than it is worth.

Yeah, on US spec cars you can raise them with the mechanical key but can't do it wirelessly.

Outside north america I believe the remote can raise them.

The thinking is people in NA are too sue-happy to allow the feature here.

I like it because on very warm days I can lower the windows and open the moonroof as I'm walking up to the car, thereby making it much cooler inside before I step in.
