Window Lock Control

Hi, All!

I've done a lot of looking around, but haven't run across the info I'm looking for.
I'm wondering if anyone knows if the Window lockout function can be modified through Techstream, or such? I hate that when I lock the windows to keep my dogs from accidentally opening them, that it also locks out the driver's panel to run those windows, too. Other cars that I've owned have kept full function on the driver's panel (locked or unlocked), which is what I would prefer.

Thanks for your help!

 

May I ask what other vehicles this works on?

Can't recall one offhand. But that's just me

 

I haven't seen the option in Tech stream and I agree, it's really annoying not to be able to operate at least the front driver window when lock is on. Haven't seen anyone hack this part (yet).

 

Both of my BMW 5 Series (E-39 and E-60), and '01 Volvo Cross Country

 

You could assemble something like this:



Intercept harness interrupts the window switch operation. The additional switches are what might break the deal.

 

Interesting approach, but I'd prefer not having to add switches, if I can avoid it.
I really can't understand the reasoning for disabling the driver's control, in the first place - it just doesn't make any sense, to me.

Thanks for working that up, by the way!

 

If the kennel stays at the rear seats, it be only one added switch...

 

All kept inside the door panel.

 

That explains it for me. No experience with either of those.

 

Another iteration:


Disconnect P18, de-pin the identified terminals, insert them into female connector (-10795)
Crimp terminals to mating connector, measure length of location of added relays (plenty of room under door switch panel)

This is ground and fused power to added relays. Small push button can be placed in door switch panel.

 

WOW! You ae just a plethora of info (and must have some time on your hands! lol!)
Thanks, yet again!
