The remote open works with the double click and hold on my 2012 touring with no sunroof. I use this feature all the time in the summer. It only rolls down the two front windows though. No auto-up from the fob thanks to sue-happy Murica.
With my VW I have software on my laptop (VCDS) that lets me change just about every electronic feature in the car and all the fun stuff is under "RoW", or "Rest of World". Basically Americans are too stupid have a lot of features the rest of the world gets because we'll find a way to hurt ourselves and sue. On the VW I've been able to turn on windows up/down from the fob as well as a feature where if the windows are down the rain sensing wipers will monitor the windshield for up to 24 hours and if it senses rain the windows automatically go up.
