Mine does work (most of the time) with the key fob. But there is a known conflict with the VTS which causes occasional malfunctions, eg roof stopping half open/closed. What are you experiencing?

I think you are in the UK? US cars don't have this functionality from the factory.

I believe it is a reprogramming of the buttons that the dealer can do. The Australian delivered cars had it off as well and I was told by the dealer that they are activating the functions before handing the cars over to their owners.
