But surely it would be better if it worked a bit further away so you could do it as you`re walking up to it. That way some of the heat could escape before you get to the car. It`s just as quick to unlock it, get in and use the one touch opening imo.
It does mean you can open the roof and windows before you have to burn your backside on a boiling seat though.
It would be handy to be able to open them from a distance.
But think of what would happen if that feature were to be operated inadvertently?
Like when you just go into the supermarket or park your car in town and go for a pub lunch.
A way to prevent inadvertent opening is the issue here. The keyfob has very limited functionality and little space for special buttons, and is under significant power constraints given how long we expect the batteries to last for.
If the fob had a fingerprint sensor in it a la iPhone then this might be an implementable feature with a reasonable degree of security and an absence of inadvertent activation. Then the fob could check to see if it's within 10m of the car, if it gets a ping back the windows and roof open.
Then other parameters to close them all up again if it rains or you don't open a door or there's no activation of the microwave sensors internally within say 60 seconds.
This could come as part of the keyless-go feature.
Mercedes can have this idea in exchange for an E63 estate.
