Autowindow on a BRZ/FRS (exploring possibilities)

[Sportsguy83]

So I've been having conversations with Autowindow creator @scottmcphee. He had the good idea of making a new thread for autowindow and leave tap turn for its own thread.

To pick up to where the discussion is right now, start at this post, http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...7&postcount=63

then end at post #79.


Thanks!

@scottmcphee this is what I meant in my last post in the other thread (in order to continue what was being discussed)

Wouldn't it be possible to replace the relay that turns off the power to the windows for a relay that stays on all the time and that way Autowindow works all the time? Just brainstorming, I have no idea if that is the way it works.

@scottmcphee where are you?

Each time I start reading the car schematics I nod off to sleep, because the only time I've got right now is late... I'll get my head above water again in a couple days, this is just a crazy busy time of year for me. Not forgotten.

Can you explain what "auto window" feature you're wanting? What does it do?

I make a series of modules that originally started for remote control of windows, then blossomed into a bunch more features that you can read about on autowindow.com check the product comparison page for the overview of all.

It started out as kit for VW / VAG cars, 'cause everyone in my family drove VW at the time. Then I bought a Subaru and wanted those features there so I made a Universal series that is quite adaptable to "any" car (haven't tried then all, yet )

Problem is universal series requires DEI530T modules be installed first. This is a good and bad thing, but basically increased reach for the product because I only had to design to this module (which fits most any car) instead of custom design per car type.

This thread is exploring doing a native fit autowindow for the twins. Meaning no DEI boxes, less install work. Why am I considering this?
A. I am mad.
B. I have infinite time on my hands.
C. You guys are such freaking good customers of Tapturn, another thing I make.
D. One day I just might be owning an FRS, because I like it.
E. Some combination of the above.

Okay!

Spent some brain power on this.

I don't have the car so I will ask dumb questions.. And need help.

First question:. For each and every press of unlock on the remote, does the drivers door lock solenoid fire (hear the click/chunk noise in that door) as if it's trying to unlock over and over again?

The answer is Yes click chunk every time
