kendo Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 HI All. Occasionally when returning to my car after being parked, I find the doors still locked, but all of the windows fully open. Anybody got an idea why this happens ? Ken 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I can help you with this, but I'll try. Reading what Chris says (above) reminded me that I have a similar problem on one of my cars, not my Alphie. The remote buttons can be rather temperamental, especially the lock button. My tendency is to repeatedly press the lock button. The car responds to this as a command to open all the windows ! I now have the habit of checking as I walk away; mainly because, more than once, I have returned (in the rain) to find all the windows open. Not funny. I have spare remote which I need to start using !! When I asked about remote locking; I asked the wrong question ! The right question was, do you have smart locks ? I am reading my copy of the Owners Manual (published by JPNZ, £25 on ebay). Hopefully you have two sets of Smart keys. Change the battery in both, but not at the same time. There are key linked window functions associated with keys. I am assuming you don't use the manual key to lock / unlock the vehicle. Supposedly, the remote keys need a 3 second press to operate the windows. So my conclusion is either you have a key misfunction, hence changing batteries and trying both keys. Maybe the buttons are not making clean, jitter free, connections. Or of course, a glitch in the receive side. I won't pretend to even try to help in that case. Oddly enough, the Owners Manual does not mention that the Smart fob does, or does not, operate the key linked window functions. My guess is it does, so maybe more batteries will be needed !. I sincerely hope at least some of this helps; otherwise you must remember to check as I do with my other car; or possibly buy a new key. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurj Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 My Skoda does this, and it always seems to happen overnight when it rains. I’ve still not worked out which button or combination of buttons makes the windows roll down, but they’re probably being pressed by keys while in my pocket. It’s not mentioned in the Skoda manual either. Is a shame to hear it also happens with the Alphard. I’d previously put it down to yet another example of VAG low-quality electrics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky87 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 On my vehicle the lock key, press and hold, rolls all windows up (until you release the lock key - at which point the windows stop) Press and hold the unlock key and all windows roll down (until you release the unlock button) There is a procedure to reset the remote central locking which you can do after a battery disconnection, when one of the door locks does not operate. There is also one to reset the electric windows when one does not work from the drivers control panel. Is it worth trying these reset procedures? It could be that it solves it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was on hot days though. I just put it down to key being pressed in my pocket. But nice to know if you resolved the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurj Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 BTW this is an option that you can easily change with a OBD2 reader and the CarScanner app on your phone (there are a few threads on here about it), at least for the 20-series and possibly the later 10-series too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with the format of this forum is there is no index or way to collate any information. It all sits there as a pile and somehow we hope people get to the right info. It’s better than being left all alone though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
