My Civic used to roll all the windows up when the alarm is activated, so the Euro's system is a step back for me.
Why Honda didnt make it so a double-lock press winds the windows up, is beyond me :(
Still waiting for a simple mod to make them wind up automatically (without having to install an aftermarket alarm).
yeh but it costs quite a bit for that alarm system to have ur windows go up
and yes i agree about the double-lock press thingy on the remote...would make it much easier!
You wouldn't think it'd that hard for Honda to build it into the next model, I mean double unlock makes them go down, why not double lock to make them go up. I know I'd use it.
From my understanding its very easy to implement, the reason they dont add it is due to liability concerns - limbs stuck in windows, todlers/pets suffocating in a locked up car on a hot day.
But all the European cars do it...BMW, MB, VW to name a few that I know do it for a fact...
Must be a Japanese standards thing or something :confused:Quote:

let me continue with that joke...
i'm asian and i don't gamble...i'm a MINORITY....lol
i was going to get a 2nd series monaro, how asian is that? hahaha...but with petrol prices these days, i got the euro.....
I think someone mentioned the 'limbs' for remote window - that sounds the best explanation :) I mean, if u walk close enough to ur car, so u have to put your keys in to close all four windows - it is safer for the passengers limbs perhaps? BMW, VW and MB probably didn't thought of this to as much detail as HONDA. It doesn't make them superior then.. :P
If u think about how Honda have made it 'easy' to put down the windows, and that it is still 'relatively easy' to close them using the key in the lock, it means they definitely have considered it? Don't people think?
Yep thats my theory but they should give us responsible people the option to enable this feature :(
Ive had auto-up windows on my Civic for years, not one incident. Plus the windows arent strong enough to hurt anyone - you may get a small bruse at worst. The Windows have an pressure detection sensor in the window/motor anyway.
Which makes me think its the toddler-locked-in-on-a-hot-day theory.
yeh but if u read in the manual, it says that if something is stuck between the windows whilst going up, the window will STOP...
not like old cars where it'll just crush someone's arm...=)
