Window convenience closing/opening feature from interior/exterior!

Attached is a video I did with the window switches from the interior to open, close, vent all 4 windows at once. This was a suggestion I sent Elon Musk for the Tesla's and I am very surprised and pleased VW enabled this option. I like to drive with the windows evenly cracked and climate control off when it is nice out. Tesla has not done this yet. I did this by accident and then found it in the U.S. owners manual on page 82.

Additionally, you can open all the windows remotely by pressing and holding the unlock button on the KEY FOB. You should also be able to close all the windows by holding the lock button on the KEY FOB or holding your finger on the door handle lock sensor. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get the key fob/touch sensor closing, or the touch sensor opening to work on my ID.4 yet. Everything else did function as described in the manual page 82.

Enjoy the video:

Opening and closing from the key fob is a feature available for many years for VW in Europe. My US VWs only supported opening until I recoded the convenience module via rosstech’s vagcom. I assume it is a safety regulation issue.

The all 4 window close does not work for me too using the fob or the sensor. Might be a bug.
My guess is these Adaptation channels in 19-CAN Gateway explain it:

ENG253049-ENG159639-ZV Komfort_Fensterheber-Komfort_oeffnen,active ,8
ENG253049-ENG273538-ZV Komfort_Fensterheber-Komfort_schließen,not active ,8

Oeffnen (opening) is active and schließen (closing) is not.. Also before anyone asks, I don't think VCDS can change that at the present time.

I think its a feature and not a bug. i guess they dont want kids with their hands out and someone close the window from fob accidently.
Feature to close all 4 windows with key fob is enabled in Europe and disabled in US markets (liability ? Kids?). Would be nice to be able to active this feature at least.

Is this something that can be addressed by Ross-Tech or requires something on VW's end to be configurable?
Thanks very much for your video FastGolfR32 !!

My 2013 Jetta hybrid would close all the windows and sun roof when I used the handle button and held it till everything closed, then the parking lights would flash.
Although the FE doesn't have a sun roof I wish it would close all the windows when the handle button was held down till all the windows closed.

And that I can get behind, because hopefully you can see if your dog has their head caught in the window or not.

Amazingly this started in the 1998 Passat. If you held the key in the lock position the windows and roof closed, held in the unlock position all the windows went down. I think it started then. That is the first model I can think of that did that. With the 07 Passat and long coding it became possible to use the remote and to use the rain sensor to close everything. It’s only a matter of time before someone figures out how to get in and code the module to do the same.
Edit: I’m looking at you Andy! 😎

I just tried closing all windows from outside.
Didn't work. Probably a lawsuit thing, damn lawyers😖.

Is that a limitation that is likely to change? I'm probably going to invest in a license when it does. Seems like there's all sorts of cool stuff just waiting to be unlocked on this car.

The underlying problem is that VW has imposed new requirements that are explained here:

oh god damn it.
Apparently not all modules are SFD protected however. I don't know which ones on the ID4 are.
Here's a list of the modules in which the blockmap shows "MAS18157-MAS18158,SFD activated status-Role of vehicle diagnostic to be protected" meaning it has SFD:

01-Engine
03-ABS Brakes
09-Cent. Elect.
15-Airbags
17-Instruments
19-CAN Gateway
23-Brake Booster
5F-Information Electr.
75-Telematics
8123-App server 1 system 1 adaptive
8124-App server 1 system 2 Java
8125-App server 3 system 1 infotaint.
C002: SW Cluster Embedded (SWC2)
C003: SW Cluster Housekeeping (SWC3)

Depressing, I know, but here's the list of the modules that don't contain "SFD" in any of the blockmaps:

05-Acc/Start Auth.
06-Seat Mem. Pass
08-Auto HVAC
10-Park/Steer Assist
13-Auto Dist. Reg
16-Steering wheel
2B-Steer. Col. Lock
36-Seat Mem. Drvr
3C-Lane Change

8C-Hybrid Battery
A5-Frt Sens. Drv. Assist
BB-Door Rear Drv
BC-Door Rear Pass
C0-Act. for Ext. Noise

It could be that today a new car might have up to 70 different modules, with software from as many as 200 different vendors. From a post Volkswagen’s bold plan to create a new car operating system that has not arrived yet. They state they are going fully with Android, which I think is great but will mean lots more Java since thats the basis for most Android apps.
here's the list of the modules that don't contain "SFD" in any of the blockmaps:
...
C0-Act. for Ext. Noise
...
Here's hoping we will be able to lower the external noise maker outputs.
