I have already posted this thread in the 'E60 Parts, Accessories and Mods' section of this forum but it seems that coding is discussed more in this section. (sorry for double posting)

I have an e60 530d and my windows will roll up if I lock the car and hold in the lock button.
Is it possible to code my car to close the windows after one touch of the lock button? (without holding and waiting)

...I had this on my previous car, but this involved fitting a relay etc.

This has been answered for you already. What part of Jim's answer was not clear?

There are occasions when I want to lock the car AND still leave the windows down. Not sure I get the point of closing all the windows and the sunroof everytime I lock the car.

I don't mind holding the lock button on the remote an extra second to have the windows close. Would that be close enough for you?

Sorry, his answer was very clear and I appreciate it. However it was one answer.
He said he has never seen it done, does that mean that it is impossible? (just because one person hasn't 'seen it done') Just look at the wonders that 'Ehssan' is doing with LCI tail lights.
I just thought I would try to get a second opinion in this section as you people seem to talk about NCS Expert a lot. (this is a forum afterall)

The reason I would like this function is purely because I am so used to it, and I have often left my windows open by accident.(I have only owned my e60 for about 3 weeks, so I suppose I just need to break the habbit) I also think it is nice to have the doors locked and windows closed with one action, otherwise I might aswell roll them up before I leave the car.
I know it sounds really lazy, but I'm just checking if its possible. I havn't had one occasion where I would need to lock the car and leave the windows open? I lock my car to secure it.

Again I am sorry for double posting. Moderators feel free to delete this thread.
