A month ago wife got an '08 Pathfinder.
We discovered that, quite oddly, it has this weird "feature" where you can remotely roll down the front windows using the remote fob, apparently by holding down the unlock button for 5 secs.
How did we discover this? By waking up one morning, when it was raining, to discover the windows down. Since it was raining the night before, they were definitely up when we went to bed. Spent the next day drying out the car.
And low and behold, it did it again today... she goes outside to find them magically down again.
Keys not in pocket, sitting out on table the whole time.
I can kinda see how this might be useful during a hot summer day - but f*ck this thing if it's liable to randomly do it. Aside form being a HUGE security problem it sucks getting your car soaked!
Soooo - any way all to disable this? At first I was thinking that changing to a universal fob might work. But then I realized, it must be either (a) picking up the RF from somewhere else (nobody else on my cul de sac has a Pathfinder...) or (b) it's flakiness in the receiver (??).
