I was grateful to learn why my car behaved as it did but I am puzzled why
this function was ever invented. The "close all" has obvious advantages,
but if Audi's rocket scientists wanted something to do with a long press
on the unlock key, I would have voted for "open all 1 inch and tilt roof"
over the unusual and IMO pretty useless choice they settled upon.

If you want the windows open by one inch, then you can release the
button when the windows have opened to that position!

Nope. I tried it several times. Also, there is nothing in the manual about
the keyfob function. They call it "convenience open/close" depending on to
which side you turn and hold the key in the lock. I assume its the same in
the USA as the manual is the same for both Canada and USA. Any Americans
have any input on this keyfob function?

I use it all summer long, it lets the blast of furnace heat out of the car
before I get in...
