Sometimes I go out to my car to discover that all four windows are open. I assume it is due to some magic press or buttons. Of course, this is terrible. How do I (can I?) disable this “feature”? (I keep remote start disabled for the same reason.)
Activating the window lock switch didn't work per Accord forum, but may be worth re-checking on the Insight.Does turning on the lock window button prevent the rolling windows down feature on the keyfob?
Are you sitting on your keys?? Too much stuff in your pocket? My fob lives in my front pocket with a wallet and I’ve never had the windows lower themselves unless I meant them to. You really have to hold the button to get the windows all the way down. If you release the button, the windows stop immediately.So I did some googling and this “feature” seems to be causing a lot of similar complaints. Living in Florida, I’m pretty sure my car would be totaled for flood damage if my windows got triggered in a heavy rain. Sheesh. Hoping for a fix
I'm the same as you but came to this forum today after I went outside and discovered all my windows down. Fortunately it hadn't rained since the last time I used the car and didn't happen overnight. Honda really should allow a means to disable this feature. I'd pay extra to promptly get rid of it.Are you sitting on your keys?? Too much stuff in your pocket?

I may give this a try and report back. Nothing is worth accidentally leaving the windows down overnight or in a storm. Thanks.I also saw in an Accord forum that disabling 'remote start' is the way to also disable 'remote all windows down.' This setting for the Insight is under Settings --> Vehicle --> Keyless Access Setup --> Remote Start System On/Off.
Today I disabled remote start and I was still able to open all the windows using the remote. So I've ordered one of these to shield my key fob.I also saw in an Accord forum that disabling 'remote start' is the way to also disable 'remote all windows down.'

Bummer. A bit surprised that the setup is different from the Accord. Hopefully the new fob cover does the trick instead. I read in reviews that the one watchout is that the attachment button still can make contact with the fob buttons, but it should be at an inconsequential spot.Today I disabled remote start and I was still able to open all the windows using the remote.

I put my fob in a protector (a rubber one) and haven't had any issues since (Have had the car for almost two years). The only time my windows were accidentally rolled down was during a rain storm when my fiancée thought that she had to keep hitting the unlock button from far away to unlock the doors.. She couldn't see the car, but she was rolling the windows down further and further. The other time was when I was getting something out of the car and it was raining. She was in our then apartment at the top of the stairs hitting the unlock button in the same exact fashion as I am yelling at her to stop.. LOLBummer.

I have just the keys alone in my pocket and it STILL activates. This "feature" has gotten $300 worth of stuff out of my car stolen and I did nothing wrong. There should not be something like this that can't be disabled.Are you sitting on your keys?? Too much stuff in your pocket?

I agree. While some feel that the auto-windows-down feature is benign or even useful because unintended rolldown hasn't happened to them (yet), I wish that someone would start a class action suit against Honda, not for a financial judgement, but to force them to come up with a programming override for this feature.I have just the keys alone in my pocket and it STILL activates.
