So I discovered how to use the remote key fob to bring the windows down and open the moonroof. This is an excellent feature for airing out the car on hot days.
Question: is there a way to reverse the procedure? This would be just as valuable a feature, particularly when it starts raining and one is too far from the car to quickly close everything back up. I have to think there is, as the electronics in the key fob controlling this merely need to do so in reverse.
Comments/answers are welcome. Thanks in advance.

I don’t believe so. Honda/acura has had this feature with their fobs for years. But I’ve never seen the fob able to close all windows. I’m with you though, if they can program all open, why can’t they program all close? lol 🤷🏼‍♂️

"Car battery can’t handle rolling all windows upwhen engine is off. Rolling them down takes significantly less battery power. So no!!!"

I understand your thought process on this but I disagree with it. The cars equipped with Auto Start/Stop systems have significantly larger batteries to handle the load. They are large enough to handle running the windows up without engine power.

My previous car, a VW GTI could roll the windows (and sunroof) up or down with the Key FOB. As a bonus it could also roll up the windows automatically when it started to rain. To be fair the features were initiated by using VAGCOM programming outside of the dealers. And the battery was a standard flooded cell battery - not even an AGM.
