I often modify my car myself. To achieve automatic window closing when locking the car on a Civic, the simplest method is to install a window lift module. You can first purchase an OBD window lift module compatible with Honda Civic online. It's not expensive, usually costing between 100 to 300 yuan. After receiving it, plug the module into the car's OBD port, which is generally located under the steering wheel. Then, follow the instructions to connect the wiring inside the door panel. The steps include removing the door panel, locating the window control wiring, correctly connecting the wires, and testing. Remember to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery during installation to avoid short circuits. Once completed, hold the remote button for a few seconds when locking the car, and the windows will automatically roll up. This method is reliable and cost-effective. After installing it once, driving becomes more convenient. However, be aware that wiring may vary for different model years of the Civic, so confirm compatibility when purchasing to avoid mistakes.

As a safety-conscious car owner, I feel that the original Civic lacks an automatic window roll-up function, and achieving this requires a professional approach. I recommend visiting a 4S shop or a reliable auto repair shop to install a window roll-up module. This way, the staff will check the vehicle's compatibility, help with safe wiring, and avoid accidents from DIY modifications. The entire process usually takes about half an hour and costs around 500 yuan, which is a bit more expensive than DIY but hassle-free. After installation, the lock button can close all windows with one click, improving anti-theft and convenience, and you won’t forget to close the windows on rainy or snowy days. Be sure to choose a module from a reputable brand, preferably with an anti-pinch function for added safety. After installation, I tested it several times—it’s responsive and reliable, so I recommend it to everyone.

When I first bought my Civic, I also found it troublesome that the windows didn't close automatically when locking the car. Later, I discovered that adding a module could solve this issue. A simple method is to purchase an OBD window closer compatible with the Civic and plug it into the OBD port under the steering wheel. Just hold the remote lock button to trigger window closing when locking the car, with no complicated settings required. The price is usually around 100 yuan, and there are many online options with good compatibility. You can even install it yourself by first removing the door panel and connecting the wires according to the instructions. After using this method, things became much easier, and I never have to worry about forgetting to close the windows in my car again.
