Have just remembered I saw an option to automatically close the blind when it's hot (which it is in the UK today) but didn't set it. Have just enabled it and will see what happens!

Also, the big keyfob has the option to put the windows down if you hold the unlock button.

Do you know if you have to hold the button on the key for the full amount of time that the windows are opening/closing.
My Focus I just have to hold it and as soon as the windows start moving I let go and it continues unless it finds an obstruction.

I had a Mini test car a while ago and it did annoy me that I had to hold the button and watch the car otherwise I couldn't always be certain the windows had closed, defeated the point in my eyes.

It put the blind across ;)

I'll test the windows via keyfob later.

It was too hot yesterday to have the sunroof open for me - had to close it (and the sunblind) and get the a/c on :lol:

Yes, once windows start to go down you can let go of remote button.

It was hot enough this morning for the sun blind to close automatically. Very useful

Useful feature. And it works. Another item ticked in the long list of FE Gizmos.
