Is This True?
I read a article that you can lower your driver window with you key fob. Can anyone confirm this? Here is what the article says to do. I saw it on Yahoo.com.
This trick does not work on the 2011F250 or the 2012 Explorer.
If it does work might be nice for people to know.
The trick usually involves pressing the remote's unlock button, releasing it, then pressing it again and holding it down. In some cars, instead of using the remote, you can insert your key in the door lock and turn it clockwise, release, then turn it clockwise again and hold. Turning the key counterclockwise will usually raise the windows back up. Some cars will also include the sunroof as a window in this operation, while some convertibles with automatic tops will shut.

Try just holding down the unlock button when the truck is locked. It might take about 10 or 15 seconds if it does in fact work. I do this on my wife's Infiniti G37...just hold it down for that long and if it is a feature it will unlock and roll the windows down.
I really have no need for this feature...don't know of a time when I would need the front windows rolled down. I sure wish it worked in reverse of holding the lock button for closing it but that would be a safety issue.

Subscribing.
This could be a selling feature for me someday. The wifey's 09 TSX has this feature: rolls down all 4 windows and opens the sunroof and it's a great way to get the hot stale air out of the car on a warm sunny day prior to getting to it. Hers works from about 100', so it does give the breeze time to blow through a little prior to entry as I'm walking up.

Then I tried the 2010 Expedition... NO go.
Then I tried the 2012 Edge(daughters)... NO go.
I looked up the owners manual on F150 and it says nothing about that option.
