Window rolldown via remote?

Window rolldown via remote?
Audis, BMWs, VWs have this feature... wondering if the RX-8 incorporated it or not. It's not a big deal either way, I'm just curious because I pick my car up today and I want to knowwww

Sorry, no remote window roll down. But the window action is some of the fastest I have ever seen. Enjoy, you won't be disappointed. Just went over 500 miles at lunch today, total, not just at lunch today. Saving the long lunch trip for after breakin.

Nope,
Keys are oversized, remote truck, panic, lock, and unlock.
Remote looks cheapy made. With this high price car I would think the keys and remote would be a more higher quality.

Am I mistaken in my impression that the car does not have a factory installed alarm? I'm getting an aftermarket alarm installed this weekend regardless, but I don't think it has one from the factory/dealership...

There's a factory alarm and engine immobilizer so no worries :0

Yeah, Herc, if you push it twice the horn actually honks. It's annoying as all Hell because it's LOUD and I frequently don't get home until 1 or 2AM. My neighbors must love me. I called my dealer to ask whether a factory-installed alarm was included and she said that if it was, it would be on the window sticker (which it's not, at least not on mine...)

Does it have one touch up/down on the driver's side? On the passenger's side?

I need a new alarm window sticker. Mine seems to be falling off on the driver side. But the dealer etched my windows and got those stickers everywhere. grrrrr
I do like when you push the lock once it makes no noise but you have to look at the car to make sure the parking lights flashed. Or be like everyone else and push it again for that honk!

Other cars have this feature too. However, on most cars it's just the driver and front passenger that get the one-touch switches.

The Lexus SC-430 also has auto-up and down on both windows.

And there are ways to setup a factory keyfob setup so that you can control windows, but that takes a little bit of work. For example, you find the wire that goes from the box that receives signals from the keyfob to the trunk release. You cut that, and install a box with simple electronics that can decode how many time you press the trunk release button. Then set it up so that say, one-click equals trunk release, two-clicks equals windows up, three-clicks equals windows down, four-clicks equals sunroof open. Mind you, if you try to put ten items on that, it gets hard to remember how many clicks does what.

Oh K Well, I thought cars didn't have that for safety reasons. Did you see America's Funniest Home Videos where the husband got his head stuck in their brand new cars' driver-side window? The wife standing there not knowing what to do? Well, now I know how it happened.:p kinda...

All Lexii (probably all luxury cars) have one-touch up/down on windows and sunroof. The expensive bit is the pinch protection to retract the window if it bumps against something - my dogs know this from experience if they didn't pull their heads in when I raised the back windows in my RX300 (tried it on my own arm first of course - doesn't hurt).
