Dual auto down power windows?

[Shroomster]

has anyone attempted to make both switches for the passenger side window auto down like the drivers'?

[Masteraal]

and auto up!

[menz]

have anyone done it or not

[RHDVIPbB]

Yep. I put a switch on the passenger side door and now the passenger can push the button and make it go down like the drivers. I got the idea from a friends xB.

I'd actually like this to work from the driver's side. Is that possible?

Also, any details or pics of what you did?:iono:

[Shroomster]

I wish the solara switches would fit in ours... or better yet swap a switch from a salvage yaris...

[Lafiro]

I want there to be an auto Up, thats more important to me, especially on those rainny days ordering fast food, and grabbing stuff with both hands as rain pours in. Sucks.

[TinyGiant]

auto up would be sweet.

dual auto up/down would be sweet.

how about a sweet control knob all the way one way is up and all the way the other way is down.. oh wait.. its called non powered windows. lol

[auxmike]

Crank, crank....:bellyroll:

I was wondering if you had any additional information on wiring up a new power window switch with auto up and down?

Do you know if I can just get another driver side switch and put it into any of my doors and have it work?

Also you said you used a switch from an Xb are there other models of Toyota's that you know of that will work?

Thank you all for the help.

Auto up would be dangerous for kids, so Toyota will never produce it. Lotsa luck wiring it up yourself.

there are load monitors (i dunno if load monitors are the correct term) on the auto up windows on some makes/models of cars now that will reverse if there is resistance.

but like most likely toyota may not do it....but I think they have it on the Lexus models....?

The boy's 09 Jetta Sportwagen TDI has the safety feature with the auto up that stops the windows when there's something in the way, like a child's finger. :w00t:

Would be nice if Toyota had that too... The technology's there, why can't they use it? :confused:

[CTScott]

Check out the DEI 530T module (Power Window Automation System). It is a module that allows auto up and down for two windows. It sells for about $50 and has the safety feature.

Is this plug n' play with the OEM window switch? Or does it get spliced in some how? The pics I see of it don't show much.

It's not plug and play, as it is a generic device, intended to allow remote starters to be able to crank the windows up or down with an auxiliary output.

[MGargano]

From what I see, it looks there are two wiring harness included. One for standard window operation, and the other for interfacing with the alarm system (if equipped).

[MGargano]

Ordered. CTScott you were definitely right about how addicting it is to abuse your car's electrical system. Now I'll have something to tinker with while you figure out what's wrong with my OC ECU. :laugh:

Nice! That's why I would never lease a vehicle. There is no way I could prevent myself from monkeying with the electrical system.

I've always been more into the mechanical stuff, but I'm starting to really get into the electrical side with this car. Any chance you've figured out the push-button start? I think that's my next project after seeing echo's thread.

[CTScott]

Push button start would be fairly easy to do. To really do it right would require a bunch of parts from one of the markets where it is available.

The problem is that for our USDM cars you would still need to stick the key in to unlock the steering. You could mechanically bypass the steering lock, but then you make your car a whole lot easier to steal. Also, the OEM system uses an RFID smart card (along the same lines as the key transponder). You'd really want to implement something like that to make the car less grabbable as well.

Hmm it looks like I might table this idea for a while then, at least until I get the SRS and now the windows completed.

Seems kinda silly to have push-button start if I still have to use the key to unlock the steering. And I'd hate to make my car more vulnerable to theft.

[PatrickJohnson]

couldn't you get something like what the maximas do now, where you have a proxy chip on the key so that you can push button start it as long as the key is in the car (like in your pocket)?

[CTScott]

Yes, that's the RFID device. That requires an RFID tag and some type of reader.

[MGargano]

How readily available are these RFID devices and readers?

[CTScott]

Readily available. They are used in everything from the automated toll tags to ID badges to anti-theft devices in stores. The tags are typically very inexpensive (under $1 for passive tags). Readers can range from as cheap as $25 to $3000+.

Radioshack actually sells a development kit for $49 that includes a reader and two button tags.

I would definitely need your expertise with this, but if it's something I can get my hands on easily, I might have to go for it.

[Qmobile]

I know newer Vettes have no key what so ever all you have is a key fob that unlocks the doors, steering and they have push buton start. That I think be cool on a yaris

i actually was looking into getting the in channel window vent shades from toyota. The local dealership told me if I had auto-up windows that the in-channel visors might cause the window to not fully roll up.... dude made it sound like the toyota auto-up windows had a sensor installed to back off if it met any resistance.

I don't have auto-up windows.... just auto-down so it doesn't matter to me...

[MGargano]

BTW, I apologize for completely jacking this thread

[ezhacker1]

the 09 Rav4 i rented has auto up/down drivers window. I actually got annoyed with it trying to only open the window a crack to vent the LA heat. I looked like an idiot rolling the windows up and down trying to figure it out.

[RedRide]

Auto up would be dangerous for kids, so Toyota will never produce it. Lotsa luck wiring it up yourself.

I may be wrong but, I aways understood that auto up was always avalible for the JDM for most cars but never exported.
I guess the Japaneese liability laws are much different than in most countries.

I wonder if auto up is avalible for the JDM yaris?

Maybe JDM kids keep their hands and heads inside of the vehicle at all times.

If it is available on the JDM Yaris, it would be a bit of an issue to put on ours because the master window control is on the opposite door. The $50 DEI module would definitely be the cheapest/easiest way to get auto up/down on all windows.

[MiniTRD]

just chiming in

I just had a 2008 Scion tC.

On the drivers side are the two switches which both do FULL up and down. The passenger side has a single switch with Full up and down. There is no resistance sensing switch that I was ever able to tell. In fact you just kept holding the switch up or down to program the full open or close distance.

BTW I looked see if they could be adapted to the Yaris, but no go unless you want to do some soldering.

[d.one]

BEST thing is adding the DEI 530T (given that you have a Directed alarm).

[spookz]

We have a Corolla here at home that has auto up and down on all four windows. So it's not just the JDM that gets power windows with the auto up.

[MGargano]

In case anyone's interested, CTScott put together a wiring diagram for the DEI 530T. I just installed it and it works perfectly.

The Yaris is a "Type A" system, so set switch 5 to the OFF poistion.

For the Resistance setting, use the following: SW1-OFF, SW2-ON, SW3-ON, SW4-ON, SW5-OFF

Install instructions .PDF are attached

I would really like to have full down and UP for drivers and passenger side windows. This would be awesome. Just don't have a Directed alarm...

There seems to be some misunderstanding with this, so I'll clear it up.

The DEI module can be interfaced with alarm systems (allowing you to raise and lower the windows by remote) but you don't need any alarm system to use this module.

I don't have any alarm system and my DEI unit does exactly what it's supposed to- puts BOTH windows UP or DOWN with one touch of the button- nothing more, nothing less.

[monchito18]

sorry to bump this thread but I would love to make my car power windows because it isnt.
so I need door panels, motors and what else? how much will it cost?

[squall_x]

I bought a kit on ebay for $99 easy install toook me about 4hrs. It comes with everything you need. You do need to make some modifications to the door panel for switches, but nothing major.

sorry but a lot of toyotas have auto up. my 4runner has dual auto down auto up

but I have a sedan, I can get the power windows door panels in some junker so it looks original
