You need to enable these features in the vehicle settings from the Intellink screen, not the steering wheel settings.

Pretty simple....
  1. Settings, Vehicle, Comfort & Convenience, Auto Mirror Folding, Select On
  2. Settings, Vehicle, "Remote Lock, Unlock, Start", Remote Window Operation, Select On
To operate the folding mirrors, hold the Lock button on the fob for 2 seconds.

To fold the mirrors out, hold the Unlock button for 2 seconds. Keep holding for an additional 2 seconds to roll down the windows.

I don't believe the windows will go up using the fob. I think just about all manufacturers have disabled this feature here in the US for safety reasons. At least that is what I recall reading a few years ago for other vehicles I have owned that allowed the fob to roll the windows down but not up.

You are correct, they do not go back up with the fob. I have the mirrors enabled but I disabled the window feature. Not so much for safety... being in MN I can see me accidentally activating the windows in rain or snow and walking away without realizing it.

Got all that. Was wondering how to get them to go up. Thanks

Seems the Tahoe does?

I agree. I just tried this on my Tahoe and the mirrors would fold back up but the windows would not go up via the fob.


yup, went to YT & looked @ description....

Can be added to almost nearly any 2010+ GM Product but shown is the 2015 Yukon Denali, full window control from the key fob from "Vent" Setting to full down. Also while we were in there we made the Fogs run with the high beams as well as extending the remote start run time to 12 minutes per cycle.


vent would be an awesome setting

Is there a setting like this for the older Tahoes with folding mirrors etc? And how would you set it, Details? Kat

Nice thread subject and hopefully this question can go here without having to start a specific thread.
I only have one key fob for my 2015 Escalade. I plan on getting a 2nd one, and want to make sure it can be programmed to set the customization of the 2nd driver preferences (seat, mirrors, etc.). Is there a specific way this can be done by owners, or is it a dealer only type of programming situation?

Vector, I could have sworn I posted the page # in your owners manual of the process involved in programming a second key in another post. It seemed different from the Tahoe and GMC. If I recall you would need the Dealer or Locksmith. It is a little lengthy to post the whole process. If you don't have the owners manual you can find a PDF of one on line. Just search 2015 Cadillac Escalade Owners Manual. Good luck.

I think you did post regarding a key fob, but not specifically regarding assigning it to another drivers preferences. I did find an owners manual and looked it up, but it does not have anything regarding how to assign it to drivers presets that I could find. I am assuming it can be done like many other brands of cars, but I'd like to know in advance prior to me buying a new fob in the coming days.
