Is there a way to open/close the windows with the key fob?

In my old Audi, I could press and hold the unlock button on the key fob and all windows will go down to vent the car on a hot day.

If the windows were down and I will lock the car the windows will automatically go up.

Is there a way to do it on the Limited?

Just like you said. In most cars if you hold down the unlock button for 3 seconds it rolls the windows down or vice versa. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll check next time I get a chance.

Holding the unlock button doesn't open the windows.

I have this feature on my honda accord, wish the brz came with it. It's nice to have on hot days. There's aftermarket solution, so I might add it on my brz in the future.

I know they make them for Mini Coopers and BMWs, so it is possible with enough demand.

There are also aftermarket alarm systems that have optional window control modules.

I had one on a Dodge pickup years ago.

Yeah, that's what I mean by plug and play, like the flasher I got that gets you three blinks, adding an alarm system isn't exactly pnp.

The guy to do it would be the maker of the tap turn ...

It's not like this feature would add excessive weight or cost. I

I looked up the company that makes window roll-up modules for honda/acura, and unfortunately, they don't make any roll-down modules. I'm pretty sure there's aftermarket company that has something similar.
