Electrical Remote Control Auto Window Up Module
#27
The door locks will typically stop working for about 60-90 seconds. I believe there is a self resetting thermal overload on them, but that is just a guess. It sure did scare me the first time I found out about it, I had a local guy that I didn't even know offer his Mini for testing. I get everything hooked up and working and all of a sudden his door locks quit! Very, very nervous I was!

I absolutely love mine too. Installed two months ago. I did not think of just striping the wires back until afterwards when reading this post. that would have been a smart idea..... I just clipped and crimped.
ONE WARNING: "BLUE/RED wire going to the drivers door" see my post above. WARNING, warning; there are two blue/red wires. One small gauge and one larger. You want the smaller gauge wire.
I am in AZ and rarely are the SR/window closed now unless i get out of the car.
One mod I would be interested in is to selectively stop the SR in the tilted state to let the interior "breath" while parked. I AZ we must keep a window cracked or it gets to be 500 deg inside...
Thanks

A dealership would have a very hard time legally denying you warranty service on your power window mtor/system if any aftermarket window module is installed in your Mini. With the way the Mini window system works none of the Mini specific window modules directly interface with the power window motors, but instead through the control module. Then, the OEM control module drives the window motors. Basically, it would be almost impossible for one of these modules to cause your window motors to fail.I'm not sure about the other product manufacturers, but KPtechnologies is always willing to help any customer receive warranty work if a problem arrises (from speaking with service managers to provide technical documentation of how and why our module won't burn out power window motors).

I went stripped the wires back using a razor blade. I guess I more shaved the outside of it off... Got myself a portable soldering iron. Makes mean work of solder.
I ran into that blue/red wire thing and sat there for a minute thinking I was going to have to trial and error it, but then remembered reading somewhere that it was the smaller of the two. The larger one is apparently for the power mirror. Also running up the steering column bundle are 2 big red wires. I went with the assumption that they are both the same and just hacked away.
Worked perfectly the first time!
It would be nice to have a way to stop the sunroof at the raised position. Or even just to hit a button ont he remote to make it pop up...

Today i have try to install the module into my mini...UNSUCCESSFUL!!
I have made all connection between module and cables-fron-the-door
like this:
It was correct????
or this connection must be made as this?
P.s.
In this example i have used the module's green cable and the door's SMALL blue/red cable......
However i have connected:
Module's green cable W/ the small red/blue
Module's orange cable W/ the black one **
Module's blue cable w/ the blue one **
Module's yellow cable w/ the green-under-steering cable
Module's red cable w/ th FUSE w/ one of reds-under-steering cable
+ ground to chasis
** I have inverted this two cable as described in the istructions because my mini in a restyling one!

There is no need to cut ANY wire in the Mini. The top picture is incorrect, and will lead to a bunch of stuff not working correctly.All connections should be made like you show in the 2nd picture. Simply strip the wire back a little bit and connect the module wiring to it.Did you use a voltage meter to verify that you found the correct wires? Although many people skip this step and successfully install the module its imperative for proper troubleshooting. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

One thing to be aware of: I just had to re-initialize my keys and was unable to do so with the Remote Control Auto Window Up Module installed (2005 MCS). It was necessary to disconnect the module, initialize the keys then reattach the module. No problem, just a little extra fussing around...

I just installed this today. It's working great on my 05 with auto unlock when the ignition is turned off. I did switch the lock and the unlock wires and it works just as said.
I have one question for anyone who has installed it, where did you put the ground to? I couldn't find anywhere to do it, so I just looked for another screw attached to metal and put it there. Any specifics would be helpful, thanks in advance.

FYI, we have had lots of customers that do the Remote Auto Up mod WITH the Toggle Auto Up/MCAW that we offer.....both will work together....

Sorry to reopen this thread but I have a few questions. I know both the one from Outmotoring and Newministuff will work but mikethemini does not ship his unit to the US. Is there a reason for this? I know his needs the alarm to install but it seems his is far easier to install that the more popular unit.
I did try to search for info on this here but I wasn't getting anywhere after a day of searching so I had to post. For those of you that do have the mikethemini one how did you get it and how exactly does it install. I have the circuit form Ian on the way but am very interested in this also.
