Default Express roll down windows with remote before entering the car

Hi All,

I have a 2010 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro Premium Plus. I was wondering if there is a way to roll down all the four windows using the remote before entering car. I tried unlocking the car and then holding the unlock button on the remote and it didnt work for me. Let me know if anyone know a way to roll down windows with remote key.

Regards,
Pavan

This feature is disabled in US spec cars, but can be enabled using vagcom or the Carista app. There are a couple of steps to enable it, but once it's enabled it works like a charm. Opens all windows and sunroof. I believe you can control if you want the windows and the sunroof to open or only the windows or only sunroof, but I don't remember all the details. I've got it enabled for the windows and sunroof to open.

How to open and close windows via remote on an Audi A4/S4/A5/S5 (B8) or Q5 ? Carista

Thanks for the info! Will try Carista. I believe I would need to buy an adapter right?

Yes, you need a Bluetooth OBD2 adapter. They sell one, which is guaranteed to work with the app on all platforms.

Carista ? OBD2 vehicle diagnostics, customizations, coding & tools

Thanks again! Also, Can I change the setting for closing side mirrors automatically when I lock the vehicle? Either with Carista or any Vagcom

Does your car have power folding mirrors? US spec 2010 A/S4 don't have it. They only fold manually by pushing them in.

Yeah, Mine is a 2010 A4 quattro. Might not have power folding mirrors then. I just saw some tutorials in which it was enabled from Hidden settings. Thought it can be enabled in US cars.

You first have to retrofit your mirrors with power folding mirrors and then you have to enable them through vagcom. That's probably what the tutorials are you saw. Some folks have done the retrofit.
