Possible DIY Idea; automatic windows up with door locks. Need help.

[amagalla]

Hello All,

I had an idea that I'm hoping the community can help me with. I had a feature on my old car where when I armed the alarm, it would automatically roll up the windows. I was sitting in the Boxster today with the top and windows down. I pushed the micro switch where the top latches, and up went the windows. That got me thinking... If there was a signal that comes from the alarm that I could tap into, I could use it to trigger a relay that would start the auto-up feature on the windows. What do you guys think? Feasible? What would I tap into?

Thanks for your help.

I think Porsche's solution is that you actually insert your key into the door lock and turn and hold it in locking direction and that will roll up the windows.

just keep the lock button on your keyfob pressed in for a few seconds and windows close automatically

I've tried that and it didn't seem to work. I'll try it again.

nope. holding the button on the key does not work (not on an 04 Boxster S anyways)......
