Finding a tweak to wake up acc power is just one idea.

We may find that the window regulator is hot all the time, doing tests asked for will find that out. That'd be half the game..

I don't want to make a CAN tie-in for a few reasons, cost the biggest factor. And here's the weird thing with this car... It's CAN to LIN to get to the driver's door, then a UART (not LIN!) hop through the driver's door to reach passenger door. OKAY, that's just the strangest thing I've seen today. So the second biggest reason for not going CAN route is that it's maybe not enough to control the passenger window.

If somebody had a data packet sniffer / protocol analyzer, I'd be real curious to see a conversation between the drivers door and passenger door. This is how the passenger window is controlled from the driver side switch, and this is more do-able cost wise and may save running wires into the passenger door.
