auto windows - tucpal - 2:nd-Mar-2014

i know some cars will have the function
when you double press the fey fob
the windows will open and close
my car will not do this
but could this be the answer
Car Automatic Window Roll Up Closer OBD-Cruze/Buick Excelle-XT/Verano/Regal/GL8 | eBay
if it works on the Buick excelle
then it may just work on the astra j ?

although this may just roll up the windows with the key fob
not sure if it will roll them down

Dont you have to hold the button on the key to get the windows to roll down?

You can with the full electric set-up but not with the front only.


auto windows - tucpal - 2:nd-Mar-2014

yes but it does not work on all models for some reason
it may just be a programming enable job
but it does not work on my car

min dont do it, but would be good if it did. Specially in the summer, if we get one again lol


auto windows - stubaynton - 2:nd-Mar-2014

some do, some dont, depends on the age. Vx went thru a phase of disabling it for safety reasons. My 10 plate didnt have it, yet my identical 12 plate does. and yes, just hold the lock or unlock button for more than 1 second to do it (indicators will flash twice to show when windows are fully opened/closed

rusty, may have to have a play with your program when i see you next lol

I was meant to look at that and I totally forgot I still think though you will find you will only be able to open/close the windows by key if you have full front and rear electric windows.

Nope, I have a '12 VX-Line, only has electric front windows, and i can open/close windows only using the fob. I think all cars post '12 plate can do it.


auto windows - tucpal - 2:nd-Mar-2014

my 10.5 don't
i am sure this will be a program enable job
so next time your on your MDI programmer rusty
have a quick look
as i really want this to work

i to remember something about vauxhall disabling this
due to people finding there windows open in the morning
they must have knocked the fob button in the house and not know they had done it

but i still want it all the same.

Can you too check your door looms to see if there is a diffrance?


auto windows - stubaynton - 2:nd-Mar-2014

done a bit of googleyness, and it seems it was disabled up to and including MY11.5 (front electric windows only, models with all 4 electirc windows were un-affected), then re-enabled for the MY12. Apparently windows were found open when people went to their cars in the morning.


auto windows - tucpal - 2:nd-Mar-2014

good idea rusty can you find a pin out for the door loom connector
and see if any wires needed.


auto windows - Rusty2009 - 2:nd-Mar-2014

Here's the pin out for door/body


auto windows - tucpal - 2:nd-Mar-2014

thanks i will see what pins i have at the weekend


auto windows - Migwell030744 - 3:rd-Mar-2014

Did VX not have problems with people finding their windows open / opening by themselves even though they had locked the car with them closed. VX then had some re-programed so they didn't open by the key to stop that happening.


auto windows - stubaynton - 3:rd-Mar-2014

I think I posted a similar thing above Migwell, lol


auto windows - Rusty2009 - 3:rd-Mar-2014

i did ask if you and Tucpal may compare your door/body loom to see if there is a difference at all.

I would but having full electric so mine will be different.
