Anyone know what's involved in adding an up/down module to PAX and rear doors? If added will the driver's door switches also work the auto feature on the doors as well?

I second the opinion that it's "Great!". I did an install vid, pardon the quality, and my babbling, and basically the whole video.




Cliffs Notes for if you don't want to sift through 200 posts in the above thread.

1. The module is from Europe or Austraila, @RCMUSTANG ordered at least two batches via pre-order.
2. It's easy except you have to pull of the door card.
3. It disables your ability to lock out the rear windows (like for kids or dogs) because the wires which control that are re purposed for the feature to work on all four doors.
4. all window switches in the truck become one touch, short for all the way down or all the way up, and longer to stop them in the middle somewhere.
5. All the features advertised DO work, even though there is some banter about some of them not working.
6. It's a wonderful feature, it should have been there from the factory.

Ordered one a few days ago. It's exactly what I want.

FYI, for those (like me) that did not get in on the group purchase spear headed by RCMustang, when ordering directly from the company price is $150 + $30 shipping. When using PayPal, the exchange rate between AS and the US is figured...$105 plus shipping.

RCMustang said that in his bulk order the company was willing to swap the wires before shipping. In the comments I asked them to configure the wiring for a left hand driven vehicle...we'll see if they do it. If not I'll have to swap those wires. I'm aware, but thanks for mentioning it.

As I noted I really like this feature, BUT...

More times that I can count when using my power washer, depending upon where the washer wand is pointed (front door mostly), all the windows will go down. Have to pull out my key fob and cycle them back up. I can live with it because i know it's going to happen, but I'm worried when taking the truck to a commercial car wash. Anyone had that experience?

Yes, I did, so I disabled the auto open/close with the FOB by clipping two wires that activated that feature, then I found out that if the FOB is left in the vehicle while washing it that feature is inactivate.
One of these days I will reconnect the clipped wires (maybe). :)

Thanks. Good to know and I'll try it next time I wash the vehicle.

I'd have probably put in a toggle switch in the armrest somewhere for the fob feature as it's 95% of the reason I ordered the module.
