Open/close windows with key fob?

I understand that the Golf has the ability for one to open or close the windows by pressing and holding the button on the key fob. This is not enabled on US vehicles. It would be really handy on hot days.

How does one enable this? I have VCDS, but most of the Central Electrics module options are in German.

So there's no other way to get this convenience feature on the US GTI? That's too bad...

For those of us with a sunroof, which happens to also open when holding down the fob... Is there a way, so that 'just' the windows open / close and not the sunroof ? in other words take the sunroof whether opening or closing, out the equation.

A forum member local to me with VCDS just did mine using these steps and it does not operate the sunroof. Only the windows. Once complete you can choose all windows or driver only in the infotainment screen.

Above link appears to be same steps/pics as what Rj posted above.

Just fixed!! Found that if driver window is not in auto mode close/open, the comfort open/close does not work for the all/rest windows

1.Reset the driver window to auto open/close by hold 5 sec for driver window all the way down (open) and then hold 5 sec for window completely up (close)
2.Select the conv. open/close > active

I have a late 2016 GTI S in the USA, and "Convenience Opening" [Settings = Driver, All, or Off] means I can open the driver window or all windows with the driver's window switch on the driver's door.

I believe I would need to tweak via VCDS for any other operation mode.
