Hi, Can anyone offer some help please


we have an L reg 316i and only had it a week, it has a remote alarm and central locking fob, which when we had it, and you alarmed the car, it would close the windows, now today though, it alarms the car and locks it, but does not close the windows, have we done something to stop this or has it developed a fault?

thanks for any help any9one can offer

Pressing that button also deactivates the interior sensors, so you can lock and alarm the car with the windows open.
