2008 RDX window roll-down using the key?

Hello,

Does anyone know if 2008 RDX windows/sunroof can be opened (or closed) by using the key or remote?

Thanks!

Can it be programmed to do so or is there additional hardware on the 2009's?

Any more info on that? Cause that was just a dumb move by Acura thinking that RDX owners would want something like that.

Is it really that big of a deal? I got a "steal" on my 2008 RDX at below invoice. For what it offers (not to mention the SH-AWD which is the best thing since sliced bread car wise). Granted, it doesn't have roll-down window feature by remote or power hatch but this doesn't affect me one bit. This is a GREAT car a.k.a. SUV or CUV or whatever...

Great to know that you got a great deal and don't care about rolling your windows with the key...some of us do, otherwise the thread wouldn't exist.

It wasn't a deal breaker but not to add it to the RDX just really doesn't make sense. It's as simple as a power passenger seat.

Acura cut some nominal features to make other features available at a great price! You can't have your cake and eat it too. Sure, spend an extra $10K for similar. For the $ of the RDX it is an awesome vehicle. Is it perfect? NO. For the money and what one gets it's damn close.

Agreed. Hopefully, with the '10 MMC they will not cut corners and make the RDX equal to the other Acuras as far as features go.

I hate to bump this old thread, but I couldn't believe it when TSX and even the prior generation honda accord could roll down windows with the remote. I just assumed the RDX would have this feature. I was pretty bummed out when I saw the remote light stayed lit with the unlock held down, but the windows didn't roll down.

Anyways, I looked around and even KP technology isn't releasing anything (http://www.kptechnologies.com/forums...ilit=rdx#p2675).

Although, this is far from a deal breaker... anyone have any ideas for those with 07 or 08 RDXs that want this feature?
