Default Auto roll up/down window option exist for our trucks via remote?

Having owned a later model VW, having the ability to roll up the windows via the keyless entry was very handy in the Texas weather. When its was too hot, i'd simply hold on the unlock button to roll down the window and the lock button to roll it up to my preferences. Can our trucks be programmed to do the same? Thanks.

Here is a link to what im referring to. It was a great feature when i had my VW.

Doubtful. I am sure you could do it with time/money.

You could do it with an aftermarket alarm and some expertise with relays, but no luck in stock form.

Yes, many cars have this option in stock form. With the vw you can program it or buy a module that programmed in your car via the diagnostic port for like $50. It would be nice if someone made one for our trucks.

my Lincoln LS did that, if you held both lock/unlock buttons then it would do it, tried it when i got my truck but i didnt do anything. the only problem with the LS is that you couldnt roll them back up, so you would have to roll everything up in the car. pointless.

Sounds like you miss your VW

I miss my 1984 Westfalia. Slow, but had "cool" appeal.

I just traded in my Mazda CX-9 with the remote window-down option and was missing this feature since I am in humid and sunny Fla...this is all that I found so far. Its the
Viper Window module Viper Window module
, and I am trying to find out if I need the Viper alarm or if it can work with the stock alarm/fob system. It also turns the windows (up to two) into express up AND down, even if the vehicle wasnt so equipped. Any one have any experience with this?
