Auto Window Rollup

[Trooper]

I have just bought an auto window roll up kit and was wondering if it is easy (and possible) to combine this with the folding mirrors e.g. as windows are told to roll up, mirrors fold in (and if possible fold out again when the car is started).

I am also thinking about shaving the boot lock off my car and disconnecting the release from the drivers side (e.g. just having the boot release on the alarm as the only way to access the boot).

Has anyone moved the boot release from near the drivers seat somewhere else in the car to make it harder for potential thieves to access the boot? e.g. moving the release somewhere under a seat, or in the back of the glove box?

I am just throwing around a few ideas.

ok,

side mirrors can be made to do this, just need to tap into the switch with the window roll up module. unsure if you can make them fold out when car is started..maybe..gotta find something to tap into like the ignition or something?

have no idea about the boot business

[sewid]

Yeah you can do it. As already said you'd need another relay off the window circuit to close the mirrors switch. I had the circuit built for this for a few dollars but I sold the car before installing it.

I never bothered with an unfolding circuit because i figured i'd just do that myself but it sounds like it's doable as well.

You can move the boot release as it's just a long cable. Just remove it all together if you're worried about it.

Any chance of getting some info on the auto rollup kit? I have been trying to find one of these for my Stagea as my kids have never been in a car with 'lectic windows before and I am getting REALLY sick of having to restart the ignition (and turbo timer) every time I get out because one of them has not wound their bl00dy window up.

On the same topic, is it possible to turn the kit off? Like if you are parked up and you WANT the windows to be left partially down?

Any thoughts on removing the boot release? I would prefer a backup in case the electronic boot release stuffs up one day.

Newbie: The trunk kit that I got is a DEI module, you will have to ask someone if you can use it with your alarm.

It is essentially "plug and play" with the one I have, and the solenoid is fairly simple to install but you will have to check with someone that knows what they are talking about - if you want to buy it though do a search for DEI TRUNK RELEASE on ebay - mine didnt cost that much.

I am in two minds about the mirrors, am I becoming just too bloody lazy? hmmm!!

If it is a simple relay/circuit I might get it done, if it will cost more than about $40 its probably not worth the effort. The car is being pulled apart soon to be sound deadened and have the new stereo put in so I am trying to get as much stuff as i can out of the way at the same time.

I've got auto boot release as well and you can still open the boot manually via key or the release lever in the car?

Yes I know you can do that, but so can theives.

I am trying to make it harder for the wrong people to get into the boot, but still easy enough for me to get in there.

I have already taken the lock out of the boot, but the lever release in the car is still there.

I want a push button release on the remote and tossing up whether it is worth having the cable release re-located somewhere hidden in the car.

The worst part about it is that no matter what if they wan't it, they'll take it.. but its a great deterrant!

You'll need an alarm with enough aux outputs to hook up your window roll up and mirror fold or you can have them together, and another aux output for the boot... its all do-able just need to know what your doin lol... if your in Melb i can refer you to some really good car audio fitters..

Good luck dude!

Yeh i know that you can never make things unreachable. If they REALLY want something they can get it. But doesnt hurt to make it harder

I have enough outputs for the window rollup etc. I am in Sydney and Marty at FHRX suggested a guy for me to go to a while ago about a different matter, so i will tell him exactly what I want when i get things done.

Sometimes making it harder is not always better...the scumbags will just get pissed off and hack away at other parts of ur car making it an even costlier repair bill. Best deterent I have is in choosing where you park.

ok that is two different modules. windup is one and can be triggered off the door actuator. the fold can be done off a neg trigger. will take 2 relays and a couple of caps to do it.

removing ALL access to teh boot is a BAD idea. if it stuffs up then you CANNOT get in. best idea if you are that worried about it is to MOVE the mechanical release. put it in th arm rest in the centre console there is enough cable to do that.

who in sydney is doing the alarm? if its NOT alan or leon - worry..

what do you want to know about it?

on the second point yes it can be disabled - most have an inhibit input on them so its a case of putting a signal on it and they stop. the one I use does them one at a time.

that said if you wanted to ADD it to the car in standard form it can be done OFF THE STANDARD REMOTE!

if you are capable of doing the wiring I can expalin how.

Thanks for the advice Chris.

The main thing I want to know, is what do I ask for and where do I get one.

I am pretty capable when it comes to basic stuff like installing a stereo/amp/dvd player etc, and I am in the process of getting a Jaycar EBC kit together so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Only problem I can forsee, is that I know bugger all about my fitted alarm, other than its brand name because apart from the siren under the bonnet and the mic for glass breakage, I am buggered if I can figure out where the rest has been installed. I do know that the heater core was replaced a while back so there is a good chance the person responsible has taken the opportunity to hide it waaaay up the back of the dash near the firewall.

I know its good for the security of the car, but it makes it a bit hard for me ATM.

Also, I don't actually have the standard remote, unless you are referring to the original key with the "lock" and "unlock" buttons on it (that I have never really used)

[Chris Rogers]

as for getting the unit- me. as for fitting it- comes with instructions.

as for teh alarm - need to know wat it is and from there I can help.

i have this auto window winder got it installed at desire for sound

BUT only one window winds up at a time i was hoping that both would go up at once but first the passengers goes up then the drivers

anyone has got theirs to go up both at once?

[NA_Goodness]

Lol, you've dragging up a pretty old thread mate.

I know the thread starter has most likely solved the issue by now, but one problem I can see with taking out the boot lock and the wire release, what if you got a flat battery? I know the chances of running down tv battery that much is very unlikely, but it is possible. And being an R33, the battery is in the boot. So that's why i'd stay clear of something like that.

Just my 2c

some modules do one at a time some do all at a time. in your case -no.
