It is a setting preset in your security/keyfob system. It should be outlined in the owners manual on how to change the settings back to the default. If not, your Honda dealer should be able to do this at no charge if you are under 36 mi/36K miles.

I was having the same issue, but, then read that if you hold the unlock button down the windows and the sunroof will open so that your car can "air" out, as you walk towards it.

Kia Picanto Zappa 2007 water getting in

Once you have checked it isn't a car window that is slightly open there is three main reason for water in the foot wells. Sun roof, door seals and heater matrix.
If you have a sun roof fitted, check it is closed correctly. Open it all the way and check the running grooves it sits in for dirt and blockages. There are drain holes in the runners so try cleaning the runner grooves with an old toothbrush.
Open the front door on that side of the vehicle. Take a good look at the rubber seal the door presses against when it is closed. Any damage or splits can create leaks into the vehicle. Check the rear door seal for the same thing. If you can, check all the other door seals and the trunk/boot seal as well. These seals are usually a tight fitting 'push on' type which you can replace yourself.
This will sound silly but does the 'water' smell of anything? The heater matrix is under dashboard and is what supplies the heat to the heater blower controls on the dashboard. If this is leaking the leak will have a sweet smell as this is coolant from the engine. This is a big repair as you often have to remove the whole dash to repair it.

Why did my windows and sun roof open by themselves? Acura RDX 17

From the Acura website:
"To cool the car on a hot day, you can lower all the windows and open the sunroof by pressing the unlock button on the remote twice and holding it as you approach the vehicle."

This could happen if you have the remote in your pocket.

I have a 2008 honda accord and the windows, sun roof and doors all open without the use of the key.

Just one of two things I can think of. First the manufacturer put to many cars on the same code/frequency. Or the body control module(BCM) in the car is bad. Can't say I have heard of this also. But BCM's do strange things when the have a short in them or the wiring going to them is shorted. Could be shorted in the BCM. Manufacturers put them in the worst places, like under cup holders.

BMW X 3 Panoramic sun roof initialization.

title says X5, but description says X3. i'll explain for an X5, but X3 with the pano should be the same. and i'll explain function of the roof, not reprogramming.

button is located on the panel at the top near the front & center windshield. its the switch on the far left on this panel. its a switch that not only toggles, but also slides forward & back.

with your finger in front of the button, slide it back & release. this will make the cover slide back and store revealing the sun roof. you know have 2 options (tilt the sunroof up or open the roof completely).

to tilt it up, press up on the rear of the button and release. the rear of both roofs will pop up. to close, push up and release the front of the button or slide the switch forward.

to slide it open completely, repeat what you did to open the protective cover (slide the switch from front to back). the roof will open completely and stow out of the way. to close, slide the switch forward and release. pano roof will now close.

to close the cover, slide the switch forward again.

neat trick: if you want to tilt the sunroof open without opening the protective cover, press up on the rear of the button (when the cover is closed) and release. the cover will separate in the middle exposing about a 2-3 inch mesh, then tilts the sunroof open. to close, push the button forward again.

also, if you are above a certain speed (can't remember what it is off hand) with the sunroof open or tilted, it will close automatically, then perform the neat trick on its own to keep air coming in.

one last trick: if you want to open the windows and sunroof from outside, press & hold the unlock button (forward button on the key) and you will see the windows go down, then the roof will open to vent. releasing the button will stop the motion of the windows & roof.

hope this answered what you were asking.

The power windows (front only) and sun roof open while we were away from our car (2007 Lincoln MKX) with the keys and remote in our possession.

If you hold the unlock button down on the remote down for three seconds the power windows will go down and the sunroof will open. It is possible the button got pressed when you put the key in your pocket.
