Good morning,

Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a mod for the driver side window for an auto UP function.

Thanks

Whatch out, many hard-core Subaru owners will come and lambaste you for asking for such luxury items...

^^^ funny how this is actually kinda true.
Yes the roots are rally/racing but a little luxury never hurt anyone!!

Its not like I asked for Auto dimming side view mirrors with auto angle adjust for parking.

Exactly.. thats what I'm talking about.. I never actually heard of any one doing a Auto Up mod for the window but I think it is a good idea and probably could be done with a little research. Have to look into this!!

What? Thats pretty much standard on any car now..? Perhaps thats the problem, some of these late model owners haven't been keeping up with 2009 options.

There's another thread floating around about the auto up. WRXGuyInUSA and mattjk might know more. I think it's an aftermarket piece, probably from DEI.

I actually thought about just getting the additional hardware to duplicate the auto down on the driver window on the front passenger window. At least this way, I can auto down both front windows at once, instead of having to leave one finger pressing down for the passenger front side.

I have the service manual, but haven't dug into the hardware pieces for it.

Sorry if this has been brought up before.

I live in Singapore (we get the UK/Euro Spec STI).

I saw some rants here about the lack of Auto-Up.

Went for a test drive.

The car HAD auto up and down.

Is it because the USDM model is left-hand drive so the Subaru chaps did not bother to make the mechanisms necessary for a left door window auto-up?

Whats going on?

if you take the switch out you will see that is made by nissan, and the new altima and maxima have auto up. Maybe the moduale is the same as them.Look into that

My 1999 toyota 4runner has auto up and auto down on both front windows....there is no reason a 2008 STI should not have it.

[gibjer]

Ya, Subaru has used Nissan switches for years now, there has to be a way to figure it out.

I think this would make for some interesting research. I miss the auto up. I don't know how you get that extra up-click from the button? As long as it does not add extra weight

You could get a Viper/Python/Clifford alarm and get the DEI piece (don't have model number, its on vipers website though). This module will control both driver and passenger auto up and down. Can control the windows from the remote, and will close them all when you arm the car (if you choose).

Otherwise someone would have to make an aftermarket piece to be able to do this. You could get an autoswitch from another panel and hadwire a relay onto the board...but no guarantees it would work.

the DEI piece is like $75 MSRP. It's designed as an add-on to an alarm but a crafty installer could make it work. If setup properly, it's safe - it's got a pressure switch to stop the windows if obstructed (like a child's arm out the window).

Yes, it wouldn't be too hard to interface with the stock system. You would lose the ability to roll them up or down from the remote but you would obtain auto up /down on both sides and a REALLY crafty person could get the roll up upon arm to work.
