Automatic remote window closure kit

[cipher]

My old Uno Turbo had what Fiat called ATC (Automatic Tempreture Control) it was a very primative form of Climate.

I wanted a remote start on the alarm, then could start the car and let the ATC bring the temp down inside before I got in.

I remember when it failed, and was quoted nearly £600 for a new controller (try finding one in a breakers!), I just removed the system (tidied up the engine bay, fewer pipes), but the car was like stepping into an oven after that!

If you liked your skin, you couldn't park it in the sun!

Ive just purchased one ,,, If it dont work its only a tenner lost.

Will let you all know when it arrives

I'm confident it'll work, it's just that without a wiring diagram it's a lot of faffing around with a multimeter. Look forward to hearing how you get on. It might be worth asking the seller to give you the wiring details for a Vectra, you might be lucky and the colours match.

This auto closure kit sounds good, be interesting to see if it works.

Any chance of a How2 Andy8 if you get yours to work.

Have been keeping my eye out for something like this for ages!  Anyone who gets one please post up your results.

I sent the guy a message asking about omegas, i assume they are the same (or very similar) to the vectra...will report what he says.

Me: Does this kit work for Omegas? They have the feature that if you hold down the button on dead-locking from the remote the windows all close. Its a real pain though as you have to hold it down until the windows close, and if the signal breaks at any point the windows stay half open and you have to unlock, then re-lock and hold deadlock to finnish the job.
Cheers

Reply: hi yes it will i think its the same wiring as the vectra's i have sold lots for omega's and sent vectra instructions and they have all left feedback so your more then welcome to try it.

sounds like a yes, andy8 you recieved yet?

I think that sounds a bit more like "You try it for me, and if you leave positive feedback, i'll assume it works"

any news on if this works yet?

[ANDY8]

Got the vectra instructions with mine and am having a go at fiting on wednesday,  Will post up the results

[Paul M]

Cheers... should actually be easier than I thought, having seen the how-to for the rear boot release (facelift models) it shows that the lock control is easily accessible behind the driver's kick panel and all the wires look pretty easy to get to as well.

Look forward to the results

Fair point, thing is though I would find this a handy thing to have as I have a habit of switching off without closing the sunroof and this gadget if it works should make life a whole lot easier, as you could hit the lock button once and all shuts, it sounds good to me and shall be following this thread.

I do 8-) with the high temperatures a couple of weeks ago and non functional A/C it was a must

Does this kit also wire into the switch that turns off the interior alarm sensors?  Would be a b#gger if you wanted to lock the car with someone or something inside and wanted to leave a windows slightly open.

I thought it only did the closure if you deadlocked the car (2 presses) I don't think you would do that if someone was in the car
