My wife always leaves the window cracked open a bit on the passenger side. The app shows it opens the window if set to a location but I want to close it. :

Not quite what I was looking for. I wish I could close the windows with the keyfob. Maybe BimmerCode?

Wow. I didn't know you could close windows by touching door handle.

Halfway there bmw.

Now get the keyfob functionality active like Europe and not make it a must in bimmercode. So annoying to have to do and redo on software upgrades.

The window app is good for valet parking garages, but not sure what else I would use that function for.

Drive thru, work garage where I need to roll my window down to swipe my badge.

Mercedes let's you close windows with the keyfob, in the US!

That is what I use the app for as well, except for me I work on a military base so I have it programmed to put down the window and the gates I use. This is definitely an app that is trying to solve a "first world problem" though... .

And yes, BimmerCode does allow you to code using the key fob to close the windows....

Yes, cleansing the earth of nasty first-world problems . I have it set for frequent drive-up windows; however, I've noticed that the activation points will just disappear and reappear from the config menu. So sometimes it works, and sometimes it does not.

It opens driver side window only. I programmed it to lower the window when sometimes I take car to my work to show the badge at the entry gate.

This is a pretty funny thing. Yes, I have to agree this is pretty lazy first world stuff.
