Thumbs up

Yeah, the auto-lock feature is something you can adjust using the MID in the instrument cluster. It can be set to a few different settings (10-seconds, 30 seconds, etc).

Yup what he said. When I got my car the guy told me he the only thing he didn't like was when he turned the car off and took the key out only the drivers door unlocked. After playing with the MID I found the setting to make em all unlock and then the lock setting. I love my car

wow WTF. I didn't believe this at first when I read it and immediately left my work computer and went out to the parking lot.

It really works, I NEVER knew this about the car, i'm not gonna use it now since its winter, but will always use it in summer time because i rarely use AC and love havin sunroof and all windows open. This made me love my car even more now.

and if you wanna roll the windows back up from outside the car and don't have the window module... stick the key in door, turn key to the left twice and hold, everything goes back up/closes,, and if you do it to the right twice and hold,, the the reverse happens.

Yeah, only cracked it open once to pair/sync my iPhone and sync my garage opener when i first got the ride.

Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to actually know all the features i'm buying.

yeah if you insert the key inside and unlock it and again unlock it holding it there, all ur windows roll down.....

now if you insert your key in and lock it, and again lock it and hold it there, all ur windows roll up.....

now if you unlock the car from the key FOB, and then press the unlock and hold it down all the windows roll down.....

if you have the KP technologies window roll up module....and lock ur car and lock it again (no need to hold it down), all ur windows (including the sunroof) closes !!!

This feature made me love my car 10X more !!!!

The roll down feature is so that you can vent out your car in the summer time before getting in it while it's hot inside. The KP Tech module was one of the first mods I did and let me tell you it's the best thing to have especially if you have kids and a forgetful wife!!
