Can the windows on my ML be made to lower / close on the remote?

Hello


With previous cars I have had I can hold the button down and open the windows, again to close them.

I've tried all sorts of combinations of the remote but no luck. Is it a NO or does the stealer need to program my keys?


I'm guessing it maybe a no as my mirrors I have to fold in pressing a button on console rather than my dads E class that fold on lock.

The lights come on though if I leave it on Auto setting?


ooh its a ML350 163 model


thanks

This feature if you have it only works within a close range of the drivers door handle, and you have to hold the button for several seconds

Its not working on my S class, within 3" of the door sensor, and holding for a time. It worked fine on my E class.
Locking the car does retract the mirrors

I sometimes need to do a reset for this 'comfort' feature.
I think with the key in position 2 you need to hold the window switches in the close position for several seconds so that the system knows where fully closed is.
I may be talking utter tripe here but it seems to work with mine.

Now that Nibbo mentions it, I remember reading that comfort closer does not work if the windows have not be normalised (trained for the closed-position). If they do not close/open with a single (good) press, windows need to be normalised. The above post probably explains the issue.

Correct, these things do not work if the other half does not know where they are,

Its worse than being married

Not available on the W163 I'm afraid. I'm fairly confident a whizz could rustle up a box of tricks to do it thought - or something like a Clifford alarm.

My W203 has an Infrared sensor on the handle which is the way the MBs manage the remote window functions as described in the other posts above.

Jay is right, on a 2001 the mirrors need to be folded manually by holding the fold button down. There is no cluster setting for autofold on a 2001 s-class.

I had my cluster change last year, and the Stealer enabled this menu, but as you say, this feature does not work on the early W220.

I believe the tell tale sign is:
  • If you have to touch and hold the button to fold the mirrors, you wont get auto folding.
  • If you have one touch fold, you *might* be able to have auto fold configured via STAR.

Yep, that's right.
