POLL <<< Windows & Sunroof

[DaGeeza]

OK here is the plan, I am going to re-wire my Bravo so that the e/windows and e/sunroof work regardless of the engine being switched on.

Now the poll... do you want me to record everything so that you peeps can follow suit are arent you that bothered?

YES or NO

Er...why?

it isnt exactly on the top of my priorities especially when it is very easy to put the key in and turn through 90 deg and then hit the button!

And in all honesty it is only having a live feed to the fuse which you could bridge from one of the other so the installation of a piece of 4" wire aint gonna be a lot of steps!

Dont meen to be disrespectful of what you are doing so dont take this wrongly!

What would be good is if you can spend the time designing a circuit to automaticall close all the windows when you lock the car..like most of my cars have had for years.

I agree its a 5 minute job mate !
Now auto closing windows would be good. Espeically
if it all worked off the remote central locking - that
I would like to see.

Auto Windows

My windows do close automatically... it was an extra £20 when I had the alarm fitted... Sunroof was an extra £200 so I didn't bother, but I like being able to leave the s/roof open when the car's locked anyway.

My old Tipo had windows that worked with the ignition off, but Fiat issued a recall about 5 years ago to re-wire the windows to only work with the ignition as it had been deemed dangerous and caused little kids to crush bones etc...

I would imagine that direct wiring the windows would be easy as mentioned above. Think the s/roof might be a bit more difficult though, the reason it was £200 as appose to £20 to add it to the alarm is because you have to deal with knowing when to stop (e.g. tilt-->closed-->slide) as this is controlled by the ECU which won't be on with the ignition off! (or so they told me)

Interestingly the other feature I wanted was Remote Start to warm the engine(and car) up before leaving the house on frosty mornings... it was £40 extra but cancelled the Thatcham approval so I didn't bother !
