Must-know car hack: How to open your car windows before you even get in

I recently learned this car hack that I think everyone should know about. Initially, I wasn’t sure if everyone already knew this and I was only just finding out about it. So I asked a group of parents at my kids’ school if they new the trick (just to make sure I didn’t look like a buffoon writing about it). When I showed them, they all said, “No way! That’s awesome!” And they ran to their cars to try it for themselves.

It worked for everyone but one, who drove a Mercedes, but she may have been doing it wrong. However, I was just at a Ford/Lincoln dealership and I asked the salesperson if it only worked on my brand of car or all of them. He confidently said it works for all cars. So my question is: How am I only finding out about this now? Check it out below and tell me: Did you know this trick?

In case you don’t want to watch my 10-second video embedded below, here’s what I’m talking about.

@johnnyjet How did I not know this cool car key trick until now? Have you tried it? #foryoupage #fyp #TravelTikTok #carhacks ♬ original sound – Johnny Jet

Did you know that you can remotely open your car windows using your key? Press the unlock button on your car key once, then do it again, but on the second time, keep holding it down until the windows go down. It should take about four seconds.

If you live someplace hot or are vacationing somewhere where it gets hot, this is a great trick to quickly roll down all the windows to cool the car down while you’re walking to it.

Unfortunately, I’m not aware of a way to do the reverse and roll all the windows back up so I guess we’ll have to wait until the manufacturers figure that one out.

In the meantime, did you know that pressing your unlock button twice and holding it down the second time was a thing? Does it work for your car? Do you think it’s interesting?
