Default How to keep air intakes open?

Is there a way to keep the shoulder air intakes open on a 2003 Murcielago? I notice that they close as soon as I start moving.

Those shoulder air intakes are for cooling the engine if the engine is hot or feeling warm, they close as soon as the engine is cooled down and open when the engine feels some heat, it all depends on the weather/environment your living in, here in Kuwait you see all Lamborghini Murcielagos shoulder air intakes are open all the time because of the heat we have here in the middle-east, its very hot with humidity gets in summer times 45c-52c and in nights low 40c, thats why all air intakes keeps opening and as far as how to keep them open, i think there is a button or something, i am not sure cuz i don't own a Murcielago, I own a 2005 Orange Gallardo which doesn't satisfy me with the sound and power the older brother Murcielago produces

Yes, there is a button inside to open the shoulder intakes. But as soon as I start driving, the intakes start to close. I was just wondering if someone knows of a way to override.

Default air vents

only other way is to keep them up permanently.
in order to do this you must turn the car on the press the button for the wings after they are fully raised open the rear bonnet and shut off the car with the main switch.

this will cause the wings to stay up until your dealer resets the system.

There is a sequence of key on , key off, and depressing the button, which enables you to open and close to any level. I have used it at car shows to open them. The deployable wing also opens and closes when you perform this function.

I did this and my wings are up - and are staying there - is there any way for me to rest the system?
