Can BMW Close Windows Remotely?
2 Answers
BMW can close windows remotely. Press and hold the unlock button on the key to automatically open all windows including the sunroof; press and hold the lock button to automatically close all windows including the sunroof. Definition of One-Touch Window Control: One-touch window control refers to a system where car window glass can be adjusted to the desired position with a single button press. Generally, cars equipped with one-touch window control have two-stage window control switches. The first position functions like a regular electric window. The second position allows the window to fully open or close automatically with a single press and release. To protect the window lift motor's lifespan, all four windows are typically equipped with thermal protection. One-Touch Window Control Features: If the window is repeatedly operated for up and down movement within a short time, the motor will enter thermal protection mode and stop the operation. During the automatic window closing process, if an object is caught between the glass and the window frame, the window will automatically stop rising and return to its initial position. Cars with one-touch window control also feature anti-pinch protection. Do not attempt to test this function with any part of your body.
I've been driving a BMW for two years now, and the remote features of this car are indeed helpful. When I forget to close the windows, I just tap a few times on the My BMW App to get it done. Last time on a rainy day, after parking and going upstairs, I suddenly remembered the windows were open. I just opened my phone and handled it, saving me a trip back down. Before using it, make sure the car is connected to the internet and you've subscribed to the ConnectedDrive service. In the app, just select the vehicle menu and then the window closing option. I also use this app to remotely start the air conditioner and preheat the seats, which is especially practical in summer. However, you need to pay attention to signal strength, otherwise commands might be delayed. Overall, it feels very convenient, reducing a lot of small hassles, especially for forgetful people like me. This feature requires regular software updates, so don’t forget to check the app version to avoid it not working.
