How to Set Up Remote Window Control?
2 Answers
Method to set up remote window control: Turn on the ignition switch, use the switch to open the power window halfway, then fully push the switch until the power window is completely closed, and keep holding the switch for 3 to 5 seconds after the window is fully closed. If you forget to close the windows after getting out of the car and the distance is too far to walk back, simply take out the key and lightly press the lock button on the remote key, and all four windows and the sunroof will automatically close. The power window settings should be reconfigured under any of the following circumstances: 1. Replacement or disassembly of the multiplex network master switch, multiplex network switch, multiplex network door ECU harness, or power window regulator motor; 2. Replacement of fuses or relays related to power window control. Unless the power window regulator motor is reset, the AUTO operation function, anti-pinch function, and remote control operation function of the multiplex network master switch will not work.
Setting up remote window control is actually quite easy, I've done it myself a few times. The basic steps are to sit in the driver's seat, make sure the car is turned off but the key is nearby or inserted into the ignition position without starting. Then hold down the unlock button on the remote key for about five seconds, and if the windows automatically roll down, it means the setup was successful. If there's no response, try simultaneously operating the window-up button by holding it down for a few seconds to learn the command. After completion, test the remote distance outside the car; generally, within ten meters, you can roll the windows up and down with one click. I love this feature—it's super convenient for remotely opening windows to cool down in summer, but before setting it up, remember to ensure there are no children or pets around to avoid accidental injuries. Steps may vary slightly between car brands; for Toyota, a simple long press might do the trick, while Volkswagen sometimes requires enabling convenience functions in the menu. Glancing at the manual or official website guide before starting can save time and effort, taking just five minutes to enhance daily convenience.
