Opening and closing windows with the key

[OldSteve]

As summer approaches I've got out of the car without having put the windows up. For the last 20 years across various car I've been able to remedy this by holding the lock car button on the key down. It doesn't work on my BZ4X. I've spoken to my garage and they've said it can be changed but it's a workshop fix. Anybody else had this problem and got a driveway fix? Thanks.

If you have a sufficiently fancy OBD2 tool or access to Toyota Techstream you can DIY. I think either Carly or  Carista can do it. Otherwise the easiest way is to get the dealer to enable it

Coding a Toyota is not enabled in Carly yet

How do “non dealers” obtain techstream?

It is something that the dealer can do and I got them to do it on my previous Yaris Cross - it was a 10 minute job and I was not charged. Guess who forgot to ask the dealer to do the same on the new C-HR?

Ironically the same place dealersThe official place to get it is via Toyota-tech.eu - You can buy the time-limited licences and download it from there. You'll still need the special VCI cable thing that plugs into the laptop, which I think you can also order from there.

You can also buy them as a bundle from some eBay sellers with the cable and software on a disc, but I suspect they are more of an Arr Me Hearties!  nature if you get my drift...

 

TBH it's less hassle to just get the dealer to do it - They probably won't even charge for it, esp. if it's requested during a service.

Thank you for your great information. 
the only thing i really really want to change is the rsa reset on my 2022 that was not there on my 2019

dealer has said its a “feature” and refused to change. 
if you happento know of a dealer more friendly i would be eternally grateful. 

[OldSteve]

Thanks for all the info, most of which has gone over my head! I'll talk to the dealer next time the car goes in, but I'll be livid if they want to charge me for it. 

Is there anything else I will miss at some point that is really in there that I can get by asking for it? My BZ is an AWD Vision.

hi there

I've had 2 Toyota CHRs and both times the workshop have had to turn that function on (why i don't know) so when i bought my BZ4X I asked for it to be turned on before I received the car and they didn't (its going in to get it turned on in the next few days as well as an update ) i have noticed in the app the power windows close but not open 

if the car needs to go in its a matter of connecting it to the computer to turn that feature on  

[Kopper Bopper]

Cars been in to have software update and they also turned on the power windows via the key fob 

i.e press and hold unlock for all four windows to go down and press and hold lock for the windows to close 

its was done free off charge as it was in having a software update but even when its in for a service its only mins to do

I have the same issue, I went to my local Toyota dealership and they want £60 to activate that feature, that's a complete rip-off since the car is only 2weeks old.

Any suggestions.....!!!!

[Mjolinor]

Find the spec online that say it has the feature. Print it then go back and whinge like ***.

 

Point out that the car is not to the spec quoted and you would like to return the car.

[Kopper Bopper]

they are coming it, it only takes a couple of mins to do and if they are going to charge you tell them you will take your business else where  

[Cyker]

Absolute rip off; They should be able to do it for nothing during servicing as it takes maybe a minute tops, two if they don't know their way around Techstream!

£60 is just ridiculous. You'd be better off spending that on a Carly ODB2 dongle and doing it yourself!!

Yes, but I am quite certain the forum will not let me type it!

You could always go back to the dealer and ask them if it is okay for you to ring Toyota GB 'just to confirm the charge'.  I think they might be a bit more accommodating!
