Did you have the key in your pocket if you hold down the unlock button the id.4 will roll down all the windows

 

Yes the key was in my pocket. Maybe it accidentally got pressed inside my pocket and that opened all the windows half way? Thanks!

 

I accidentally set off the panic alarm the other day, same way! I think you can disable the auto window roll down in settings if you want. My solution was to buy a silicone key fob cover on Amazon ;-)

 

If you lean against one of the front doors, (the handle in particular) the windows will also go down, if the key is in your pocket.

 

Thanks!!

This happened to me twice with the key in my front pocket setting off the panic alarm.

I was extremley annoyed when I left work late at night to find ALL MY WINDOWS down!!!

The guy that put just 2 window buttons in the car must be the same that programmed this stupid feature. Why???? why would you do this?

oops, all my windows are now down. I would never know since im inside the office trying to turn off an alarm.

 

I haven't had the window problem but, with the key fob in my pocket and something pressing against me (carrying a box, leaning on the counter, etc.) the panic alarm went off a number of times. After seeing the "Key Fob Cover" thread (search for it), I bought a silicon key fob cover on Amazon. Looks just like the ones pictured in that thread. So far, so good -- no more alarms or unintentional button presses. My fob was designed for a Golf and it did not have a spot for the panic button. I punched a hole in the silicon over the panic button. The hole not only tells me where to press in the unlikely event I need the panic alarm; it also reduces the chance of unintentional pressure on that button. With the cover, the fob is also more grippy and less likely to slip out of a pocket.

 

I don't like the fob design. I am always bumping something that sets off the panic alarm, and don't even think of putting anything in the pocket with the fob. The fob functions that we do use are recessed so they aren't as likely to be bumped, but not the panic button that is high a ready for any bump. Poor design IMHO. I wonder if the version that is used in Germany will work for a US version car? I hear that version does not have the panic button.

 

Where in the system can you turn off the windows roll down feature? Thanks!

 

car setting, swipe the car picture around to central locking and there it is under convieniance opening or something similar.

 

It's haunted (ghost of Germany)

 

ok I turned this off.

hopefully, fingers crossed, my windows will NOT roll down when fumbling around trying to turn off panic horn??

who knows.

maybe VW should issue a recall on its keyfob. They seem to have found a way to screw this up with a hair-trigger panic button that goes off when simply in pocket.
