Chief Bob Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Don't have my truck yet, but I read this in an online 2015Silverado 1500 OwnersManual. "On some models, press, releaseand then press and hold unlock to openall of the windows. Pressing thebutton again will stop the windows."
redwngr Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 I had to go out and try it. The answer is yes it works. (didn't figure out if there is a way to get them to go back up) The is an enable/disable setting for the 'remote window open' feature in the 'personalization menu' that is accesses thru the settings menu on the radio. (I had enabled it, but hadn't yer figured out what it did)
TJay74 Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 now this is going to make me want to see if my 2014 will do it.

SouthernSilveradoGuy85 Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 It must just be for the upper trims, my LT doesn't even have that "remote window open" setting. Not a huge deal, but I guess one of those features that would be cool to have but not a must.
pappas pit Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 my 2014 LTZ Z71 does have it either. maybe only 15s ?
w559jd1 Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 My 2014 SLT Z71 doesn't have the option. Would've been nice come summer time.
jimbo285 Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 My 14 SLE doesn't. Wifes 04 Nissan Armada had it. Hold unlock on key fob for like 3 seconds. Also closed all windows if you held the lock button. Kind of a novelty.
thetruck454 Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 I wonder if you can use this with remote start, or if one will lockout the other since I believe your doors have to be locked to remote start?
SouthernSilveradoGuy85 Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 I wonder if you can use this with remote start, or if one will lockout the other since I believe your doors have to be locked to remote start? Once it starts you can do whatever you want. I mean you have to get into the truck don't you. I would remote start it first and then do the window thing. EDIT: Now that I think about it, if you remote start it first I wonder if it would do like you say and not allow you to put the windows down. Could also try the other way and see if one cancels the other out as you say. I can't try since mine doesn't have that feature, I'm thinking it's because it's a '14 since the upper trims in the '14 seems to not have it either.

I would remote start it first and then do the window thing. Verified that when running on remote start, press and release unlock then press and hold unlock will roll down windows. Wonder if that disables the auto ac during hot weather?

schwegel89 Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Hey guys just wanted to send a pic and instructions for the people that don't know how to access the feature from their mylink system. I have a 2015 Silverado that came with the MyLink 8in display and OnStar at no extra cost. I think the trim below the LT doesn't have the Remote Window Feature(but I'm not positive). So you have to go to settings on the mylink display, scroll down to vehicle and click that, scroll down to Remote Lock, Unlock, and Start. Once in there scroll down to Remote Window Operation and select On. Then you're done, all you have to do is test it out. I like the feature on a hot day, to lower the temp of the cab before I get in. But I also never had remote start until I got this truck, so not having the remote window operation isn't that big of a deal if you have remote start. Well I hope that helps some people out. If your vehicle is New it should have a MyLink manual that tells you the features of the system, there are some pretty cool features. In my opinion Chevy has really stepped their game up with their trucks.
Ashtonman Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 I have confirm this works on the 2015 Sierra Denali. It was turned off by default on my truck. This will be a very "cool" option in the summer time.
