Power windows that go up when you lock the car

Pik0 · 30-05-2005, 11:51 PM

I remember a while ago someone was installing a part from jaycar that allows you to make your windows shut when you lock your car, just wondering if that person is still on...

Maybe Useless or Red may be able to answer this for you!

There was an alarm system by a company called "Prestige" that had this options.

There is a very good reason why new cars have auto down but not up...kids being on of them.

Yeah I had a feeling that this could be kind of dangerous, just in case there is something in the way when the windows start automatically closing. Good idea however, Ive seen it on a few cars before.

previously owned a daimler, it had a button when held down that would lock the doors and shut all the windows, dont know if it was standard or not.

I thought power windows had a fail safe, that when the torque required to raise or lower the glass exceeded a certain amount it stopped and reversed, thus allowing for auto up and down to be utilsed - stupid kids or not.

My wifes Mazda 3 SP23 has auto up as well, wish my BA XR8 had it

well i know its a thing you can buy at jaycar, was looking at installing it, but was wondering if someone had done it before to give me some pointers...

It was ME..lmao.. no really it was me what would you like to know

Pik0 · 01-06-2005, 06:57 AM

just wondering how hard it was to do and really any problems you had, just so i dont give up halfway through with my door half off cause i got sick of the shit...

d_slayer · 01-06-2005, 07:06 AM

no need to remove door skins just the power button switches in the middle of the car and the dash surround so you can get to the BEM.. i hide the unit under the cd player.. easy as i think i have a PDF file that i stole from another site here somewhere that makes it really easy.... just remember to test the wires before you start cutting

and i ran a thick wire straight from the battery but that was mainly to put a relay on it connected to the lighter plug for some of my other gauges that is where i got my direct connection from..
