This would be difficult but may be possible.
From what I know about the CANbus network, the remote lock fob will send a signal that is processed by the remote module ECU. This ECU acts as one node with it's own node ID.
It will then send out the "lock" PID packet on the CANbus network to the lock ECU Node, which locks the door.
To make a module, you would have to build a custom Node PCB, which was programmed to watch for the "lock" PID from the remote module ECU, and then it would have to send out the "windows up" PID to the windows Node.
Quite a difficult proposition, although very possible. It would require someone with PID knowledge and a test car.
What would people really pay for this new ECU node as well? The cheapest ones would cost $50+ to manufacture, and that doesn't include all the software and testing, wiring harness, packaging, shipping, and marketing.
