I remember there was a possibility to have some sort of custom made window auto switches... What happened with that? Is it still going to happen?

Actually, let me look, David sent me the info on it a bit ago.

Still one of my favorite mods to my car.

But won't this drain the crap out of a battery (Im assuming you mean after you exit the vehicle). Running two electric motors sucks alot off juice outta the stock battery...tht can be bad news for an older battery or a weak alternator.

Just being cautious.

its on for like 20 secs after you turn off the car most people leave the dome light on for longer when they take groceries out of the car

Not even 20 seconds. Both windows and my sunroof close within about 6 seconds.

i have it on my alarm. When i arm the alarm the doors lock and my windows roll up. It is very very useful. sometimes you dont have all that time to roll your window up so you just turn off the car, get out and hit the alarm. Not sure if this is what your talking about.

I have it too. If you have an alarm with an accessory output, you can add it. Great feature. I can't be the only one that cuts off the car without remembering to roll up the windows. This way it's not an issue.

It only runs for a few seconds: most models sense the resistance and know when to cut off so as not to damage the motor.
