Can the remote control close the windows after the Geely Emgrand GL is turned off?

Geely Emgrand GL can close the windows with the remote control after the engine is turned off. Opening the windows: Press the button to the first gear position. Excessive force will reach the second gear. Release the button when the window moves to the desired position. Press the button firmly to the second gear position, and the window glass will automatically lower completely to open. Closing the windows: Pull the switch to the first gear and hold it until the window moves to the desired position. Pull the button slightly harder to the second gear, and the window will automatically rise. The owner can also control the one-touch up and down of the windows using the lock and unlock buttons on the key. Hold the lock button for more than 3 seconds, and all windows will rise and close. Hold the unlock button for more than 3 seconds, and all windows will lower and open. Manual activation: The button on the armrest needs to be activated before setting. Start the engine, hold the switch down for 5 seconds without releasing, then hold it up for 5 seconds and release. After the learning is completed, it can be activated.
The Emgrand GL I drive is the 2018 model, and I've specifically tested this feature. After turning off the engine, press and hold the lock button on the remote key for about three seconds, and all four windows will automatically roll up, and the sunroof will close as well. However, there are two details to note: first, you need to operate within two to three meters of the vehicle, as the signal may be lost if you're too far away; second, the base manual transmission models may not have this function and would require an additional module. Once, I forgot to close the sunroof at a mall and used this trick just before it started to rain—it was really handy. I recommend all car owners check the key battery voltage during maintenance, as the remote range shortens when the voltage is low.
Last time when helping a friend modify the window module of their Emgrand GL, I found that for models without factory-installed remote window closing, spending around a hundred bucks to install an OBD interface controller can achieve this function. After the modification, holding down the key when locking the car is most practical for leaving a small gap in the window for ventilation. However, special attention must be paid to whether the anti-pinch function is working properly. Once during a test, I used a water bottle to block the window frame, and the system automatically rolled the window back down upon sensing resistance. Additionally, it's recommended to seek professional shops for circuit modifications, as haphazard wiring by oneself can easily blow fuses.
