wait, am i missing something here?

does the 2008 accord coupe EX-L have the capability to automatically roll the windows down via the remote already?

or do you have to modify it somehow?

yes it does...... press unlock once on the remote. press again, release both times then press and hold till the windows go down... If you have a sunroof, it will open the roof as well. It wil not close them though, you will have to use the key in the drivers door to get them up using the same proceedure but instead of pressing rotate the key to the lock position, hold till theyre closed.....

to close everything mention, stick the key in the key hole and turn to lock position and hold it and all windows and moonroof will close. It won't work by remote cuz its a safety thing.

I still don't understand how they could possibly argue it's a safety thing to not be able to close the window from the remote. :dunno:

This was the first thing the salesman showed me when I picked up the car, guess he thought it was pretty cool too.

Yes, to roll the windows open by pressing the button.
Try this in front of some Nissan owners:
Walk up to your car, and in a sturdy voice, command "open windows" of course while holding the button, and watch their face when your command is carried out. (practice first before performing stunt!)
I did that and had to run to the bathroom by watching the expressions on their faces!
Works everytime, especially in front of chicks!!!!!
LOL!

I used to think that is how it works but actually its like this.

Press unlock once

Press unlock again and hold it.


you don't need to hit it a third time.

1st click it unlocks
2nd click it opens windows
3rd click it converts into the batmobile!

So click wisely!

I cant believe some of you didnt know about this option, one of my favorites! As someone else said, one of the first things explained to me on purchase day.

...although it would be cool to find out something new after already loving it

I use that feature a lot. Here in Florida the heat index was 102. So it is nice to air out the car before you get to it.....pretty neat.

Actually it's not a 3 click sequence. You press and release once, press and hold on the second one, and veola they come down.

i looked at the scion tC before looking at the accord coupe. the scion tC has that as a standard feature and the guy showed it to me. little did i know the accord coupe that i have had for half a year has it too.

grrrrrr......i blame it on the incompetent salesguy who dont know what they were selling.

arizona is like 110 degrees, so it would have helped IMMENSLY had he knew what he was selling.

it didn't help that i have leather seats too and with the monsoon season here,we usually keep the windows up all the way cuz it can rain at anytime, day or night.

very unpleasant to sit in a car with leather seats that is probably 130 degrees without the windows down a bit.

The OEM Remote is so limited in range. The window roll down, lock and unlock only works under 150 feet range. Any farther, it does not work.

However, if you place your key on your forehead, with the key pointing to the car, you will extend the range. Before you trash this, please try it out first.

That's an old trick that's been around for many years. Your body actally acts as an additional antenna, extending the range.

I still don't understand how they could possibly argue it's a safety thing to not be able to close the window from the remote. :dunno:

FWIW, you can add this feature by use of an aftermarket module. I iinstalled one in my TSX by KP Technologies... I use it all the time along with the sunroof auto-open/close module.

Here is the auto roll-up module in a TSX

Wow!
Actually i just found out in the manual on page 211, that if you hold the lock button for 5 seconds after you locked the door, that the windows do close!
I ran out the office and tried it and it worked!!!!!
Let me know if someone else had the same result?????

you mean if i raise my left arm while my right holds the key to my forehead, i can further increase the range to about half a mile? :naughty:
