Use the key to lock your doors, hold the key in the lock position until windows and sunroof close.

If it works in my 13 year old A4, I would assume it works on the newer cars too...

OR:

Get VAG-COM and reprogram it to where you can close your windows using the key fob, holding down the lock button. I've never actually done this before, so I can't tell you how to do it... but, again, it can be done on a 13 year old Audi...

Hi, and thanks for your reply. Vag-com not supported by mac and then i think ill need codes to reprogram! Might be better taking it to a garage i think.

Thre is a vag com locator somewhere online. Vag-com owners seem to be very friendly and helpful (and will have a PC).

I had it done by a kind vagcom owner. It'll probably run you a couple hundred bucks at the dealer

Go check out the VAG-COM locator on the top of the B5 sub forum. A number of people from all over the country have offered their vag com services for as little as a six pack of beer. B5ers are generally a very nice bunch of folk.

Well it requires a VAG-COM to do, but it is very easy. Here's a link: How to enable comfort window open close using the key fob remote on VW Jetta, Golf, GTI, or Audi A3

I followed those steps and got mine working fine. Guess you need a Windows based PC though.
