Remote Window Control

[OGHeng]

Our former car, a 2012 Camry Hybrid had a key fob that allowed us to open the sunroof and all the windows to ventilate the car on a hot day before we got to it. While we were at a park this past week with our M3, I noticed the car interior temperature was 124 degrees. Sure, I could have started the climate control to cool the interior but It would have been nice to open the windows, at least part way, to save some energy. This feature would come in handy in warmer climates with our black interiors. What say you?

I say, are you offering to set something up or give us an app that does this for us - again?

Opening the windows part way from the app is an existing feature. So is closing the windows. It would be nice to add fully opening the windows as an option.

Thanks for the reply. The vent function does open all the windows about 3 inches.

For security reasons and accidentally rolling my windows down I don't want this feature. I'm good with venting them and know I can also roll them up (if left all down) with the app. That's good enough, why would I need to roll the windows down all the way if I'm not there?

OT: how do you get the homelink button in the controls? Mine doesn’t show up like yours.

You have to install the Homelink module. It's an accessory that's available from Tesla.

How do you do this?

Does the app notification only come with Homelink modules installed outside of the factory? My car is a 2018, when Homelink was still standard, not an add-on. I don't have the icon on my app.

I don't have the Homelink icon on my app either. The reason is a Tesla bug that don't put the Homelink icon if you have not purchased the FSD.

Am I missing something, or can you not just tap the "Vent" button on the Tesla app??? (Under "Controls")

If the windows are left open (even if fully open) you can close them by using the VENT/CLOSE button on the app to close all the windows.

I do have homelink installed after purchase. I do not have FSD. But what does FSD have anything to do with homelink?

For whatever reason, a while back they moved the homelink button to the summon screen. So no FSD = no summon = no homelink button.

There may be hope down the road though..

Really? I have a HomeLink button in the "Controls" panel on the app (right next to the "Trunk" button).

Sorry, I didn't understand the question initially. The Homelink icon used to only show up in the Summon controls. A recent update added Homelink to the Controls screen, but I think Tesla still considers it to be part of the Summon/FSD package. If you have Summon via Enhanced Autopilot, you should have Homelink access from the app. Is that not the case?

Did not know this. Thanks, love learning new things my car can do, even after a year and a half of ownership.

I do not have Enhanced Autopilot or FSD, only basic Autopilot. Guess will have to wait and see if Elon will really get that change made.
