Is Key Remote Programmable ?

Does anyone know if the key remote can be programmed to roll up/down all windows and sunroof by pressing and holding the buttons?

Most cars now (even VW) have this function on key remote which is helpful.

I asked this very question a few days ago in this thread:

Security / moonroof?

In short, looks like the answer is no. Possible with some aftermarket equipment, but not verified.

That's too bad!

You walk up to the car that's been sitting in the sun, push "unlock" and hold, both windows and sunroof open, life is good....

Most cars nowdays offer this, what gives?

So what happens when you are in range of this brand new car that open's the sunroof and window when you unlock (or push a programmed button) by accident?

Not only is the car open, but now the open windows and sunroof yell "COME RIGHT ON IN"

For the trouble it's worth to simply push a power window button, I'll stick w/the old style of the car not deciding to do anything extra for me, especially when I'm not near it.

Even now If you hit the "unlock" button by mistake and don't open the doors it relocks itself.

You have to be very close (within 10 feet) to the car, push and HOLD down till windows and sunroof roll down all the way.

The chance of accidentaly opening everything this way is near zero.

I am not sure what that means F1michael but if a car half the price has this feature why not the RX-8 ?
