All 4 "automatic" power windows
I was just wondering if anyone has converted the power window switches to have 4 automatic windows instead of just the drivers? Is it in the switch or are there more electronics elsewhere? Is there a kit we can buy yet to convert it or can we get 3 more drivers switches and use them? It would be nice.

I could do without it having automatic switches for the rear windows, but damn it's annoying not having it on the front passenger window. I always put my windows down in a pair, so it defeats having the automatic button for the drivers side anyway.

Thats what I am saying! It's cool to hit the drivers button, but you still have to sit there and hold the passenger. Driver and passenger would be just fine for me also.

for some safety hazard.
I believe the driver window has resistance sensor of some sort and would stop auto-up to prevent fingers (and whatnot) getting caught. It's probably right to assume that other windows do not have that senor built-in, so by adding auto-up to them adds a possible safety hazard.

maybe you were holding the window switch up? the sensor is only for the auto up where you click it once and it goes up by itself. if not then get it checked out because my 04' sensor works.

It only goes back down before it reaches 1/3 of the height. remember. This is a "near" luxury car. I am sure the not "near" luxury car (like the C240) will have 4 full auto windows.

I never experiment with it though.
The *cough cough* BMW I had before had auto-up/down on all 4 windows PLUS sun roof. The windows sensors are actually on the window frames (not sure about the coupe as I think there's no frame?) and they look like the rubber seals that are normally there anway, and they keep sensing all the way...

I have all four window auto up and down functions on my accord. I shaved the door handles on all four doors and when I took it in to have poppers installed I also requested remote roll down/ up function. I'm guessing whatever module that controls that particular function also allows me to have auto down/ up from the main switch on the drivers door.

I wouldn't mind 4 auto windows on my TSX either, as well as auto sun roof, but that's such minor minor detail.

I wished the moon/sun roof was automatic at some points I jsut forget to fully close it or just have to open it when your car is so hot insde, from being in the sun.

Just like the cheapo 328i I test drove. When you shift to reverse, the right side mirror will flip down so you can see the curb. After couple times of trying this cool feature, this brand new mirror in this brand new bimmer just refuse to move back to where it was at all! Hahahah!!!

Only if the switch unit contained the circuitry necessary to sense the prolonged hold-up/down to activate auto mode.
I imagine it's not, and this is elsewhere and would need to be replicated to provide the functionality you desire.
KP Technologies does an one-touch sunroof module, and something to do with the windows - front passenger only, IIRC.

Directed Electronics
Just FYI, Directed Electronics makes a module for automating your windows. It is the 530T, it will allow one touch up & down for two windows. So if you wanted to control all four you would need two. As for the sunroof you would want the 529T, which will control the sunroof as a one touch open and close. You can find the modules directly on DEI site or also on eBay. The 530T is around $45 on eBay. I also have seen them at Fry's for $79.
