So I am thinking about adding two of these to my car:
Here is a video of two of them in action:
I was going to get one and see how it worked and then buy a second for the back windows if it worked. Anyone familiar with these or items like these? It's the company that makes Viper/clifford/etc.
When you hook it up, supposedly it makes electric windows that are not one touch, one touch operation. But the main reason I found it was if hooked to an alarm, it can roll all of the windows all the way up or down at the touch of a button. To complicate things, cause that's how I roll apparently; I don't really want an alarm. I was thinking of replacing my worthless window breaker switch with a fifth window button and wiring it to emulate the negative ground when armed output of an alarm one way and the aux from an alarm output the other way. So when I hit the up button on the fifth window button all four windows go up and the down button would make all four windows go down. Supposedly the unit has auto-sensing to stop once the windows hit top or bottom and adjustable output via dip switches. It takes two units to make all four windows roll up and down, one for the front two and one for the back two.
Currently I have no idea how to emulate the alarm outputs, I think I may need a latching relay of some sort. I have built some tube based compressors and other gear for my old recording studio so I know my way around electronics a little, but not much on the 12-volt side of things. I was more of a paint by numbers DIY'er so I will have to do some research on that. The one touch operation works as stand alone so worse case scenario I would still have one touch while I worked out the alarm trigger.
Any advice? Is this totally not going to work, anyone been down this road before? I did some searching but didn't really find anything other than the one touch per window solutions which are great. But I generally have all the windows up or down in my vert and I am really really lazy.
