I was wondering if the 2003 CL window switches would fit into the 2001 and allow for auto up and down. That would be a great feature. I'm pretty sure the switch is the only thing that needs to be changed but I'm not positive. Also, I can't seem to find it on the e-store. I found all the other switches for the dash but no window switches.

Is the auto up/down feature for the driver only or passenger too?

 

Its driver side only and you need more than just the switch

That's neat. I didn't know the '03s had the auto up, too.

 

i read there is some kind of sensor to prevent the window from closing on someones arm or whatever... but would the autoup feature work even if the sensor isn't in place?

 

how about you invest into real auto up/down modules.

Try looking for Twindow, they make a module you can wire in for drive and/or passenger to do 1 touch roll up and down. I have them in my car even though driver side is already auto 1 touch up and down. You do not need to replace switches.

 

You knew that Ryan, haha I told you on the phone. But yes a cool feature. What's even cooler is, my bros new Lex IS250, has ALL 4 freakin windows with auto up.

 

Toyota has it on most of their new cars....my gfs Scion is the same thing.

 

more info please, i am interested in one. thanks

 

autoloc makes some crappy unreliable modules too.

The best ones on the market Twindow, cost me $130 (cost, me being a dealer) each, that does 1 window up and down. the Twindow's are 100% reliable.

You can get Viper507T module that does two windows up and down. Thats just under $200 for that piece. I don't like it though.

 

nismo - i just googled "twindow module" but didn't really come up with anything.

got a website where i can order a couple modules from?

 

i second that.

 

I have a DEI 530T in my 4runner, and love it. It was around $80 shipped from eBay.

It gives one touch auto up-down for two windows, and with the third channel on my alarm, I can either vent the windows, or roll them all the way down.

I have heard of Camaro guys changing the OEM alarm so that it'll unlock both doors with one push of the button, then roll down the windows with the second push. Don't know if it's possible with ours, just throwing that out there.

 

I use the Viper530T for my customers at my shop, its a cheap unit. Its 1 unit for two windows up and down and vent.

I use my strictly for window roll up. It is 100% accurate. You don't wanna leave your windows down and hit arm on your aftermarket alarm and there being a slight chance it wouldn't roll up. Mine roll up 100%.

Plus they are awsome flawlessly for auto up and auto down. Let me see if I can find a website, I know they are made somewhere in the states, but we buy it local from our distributor. I remember them being in the states once because I tried calling them directly looking for a sunroof module, to open and close 1 touch so I can control it from my aftermarket alarm

Thats the one!
Awsome pieces, they are pricier but you are paying for quality.
I've tried autoloc brands and they suck to be honest.

 

I would really love to figure out how to do a deal like the camaro guys did with our factory remote! That way u just hit unlock twice and get the windows + sunroof(mabey?) down. Think how pimp that is when you're picking up a girl or something.

Seems like there are quite a few modules. Do these all simply install behind the panel and allow you to use your normal switches? Please everyone list what they used, what it cost, and where to get it! :-)

Also I think the next step would be auto up on lock.

 

there are alarm systems out currently, that you can get auto down and up with all of your windows.

 

yes but you'r looking at ballpark $500 for very little additional utility. I would love to figure out how to get the dei 530t ($70 on ebay) hooked up and working with my remote!

 

yup my estimate is 500+ but id say that includes remote start, auto up/down on both windows (2 door) and maybe moonroof.

 

ok well i have much better news: Its totally possible for < $100 with factory remote. The way it is done is you install a DEI 530T for the windows and a 529T for the Moonroof. The way the camaro guys did it was to rewire the unlock button on the remote because it is a 2 function button. What u do is rewire it so one click unlocks both doors, and a double click drops the windows + sunroof. I don't know how to wire it yet but when we get it figured out I'll write a DIY. Here are some of the sources I've read so far:

Camaro writeup

DEI 530T manual scan

Alarm install help forums

RSX DIY guide

Please add input or experience to help get us rolling :-)

 

is there an aftermarket remote that will control the factory alarm but has extra aux buttons?

 

The sunroof is gonna be the problem because it's a tilt/slide. I had a master Clifford installer racking his brains trying to get it to work.

Problem is that it would close the sunroof but then immediately crack it. Couldn't control it.

 

put a timer on it. I'm really most intersted in the auto down, not the auto up. I probably wouldn't include the sunroof in the lock button command, just the 2 windows.

 

Can someone scan and post the wiring diagrams for the factory alarm module? This would be a good place to start.

 

any luck on this so far from anyone? I'm aquiring the DEI 530T shortly and I'm frankly not sure how to install the puppy. I figure the sunroof can be the second project if I'm happy with this. What is the thing you use to check if a wire is sending signal or not, voltimiter?

 

This would be seriously sweet if it were possible to accomplish for <$100 and with stock remote

 

it is 100% possible to do

530t = $60
529t = $40
(off ebay)

hurdles:

-properly installing the 530t, 529t
-figuring out the factory alarm wiring and reassigning the 2nd unlock function to windows

The first i posted an install guide for a similar car (rsx i think?) so all we gotta do is confirm how u install the modules, figure out which wire / terminal is the unlock one and add our wires to it. Then mabey add the up wires to the lock command terminal

 

Anyone have the bible or can tell us what the wires on the factory alarm under the driver's seat do?

 

Ejection seat sensor?

 

I need some serious help here! I have a used Honda and I just found an old alarm system and Twindow device under the dash. The wiring was a complete disaster so I decided to just take the whole mess out.... then I realized that my power windows no longer worked!!!

I didn't realize this would happen and am pretty upset since my air conditioner just went out and it's getting pretty hot outside now.

I called Twindow and a really nice guy told me that I need to hook a couple of wires up to one window and a couple of wires up to another window in order for my power windows to work again. But, could I just wire the car to how it was straight from the factory?
