Rudy, He's talking about the windows up feature with the lock button on the key. I haven't heard of any US model E60's having this feature yet.

The closest thing we get over here to the "all closed/all up" feature is on comfort access cars, you can press and hold the lock target on the door handle and it will work. (Obviously, the alternative is to turn and hold the metal key in the door lock cylinder for non-CA cars...)

Thanks rody... I hadn't heard of any either but based on cwohughes' post, maybe there's something about what country the software is loaded in that makes a difference with this feature. (Assuming that cwohughes' car has a normal US-spec software build.)

Rudy, I think you're right on target with "what country the software is loaded". Yes, my car has the normal US-spec software build.

somebody claims the windows cannot remote up/down by holding the unlock/lock buttons. Rudy said it is not available to North America version, but my car is able to do that. Are you sure Rudy?

Any chance it could be US spec car with UK spec software?
