Dujo Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I love the size of the glass. It's a super cool window. The double is even cool and I love how it works in concert with my fairing when it's open, but I hate waiting for that sucker to crank. At a recent meet, I had a couple people ask me if the sunroof was aftermarket. Nope. OEM. Love the wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadvw Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Never even thought about the fact that sedan/wagon are different.. Yeah, it's the closing that matters - especially after I've already shut the car off. With my Corrado, all I had to do was hold the key in the "lock door" position and it would close all windows + sunroof. That would be awesome...

mikeyd Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Great explanation of the wagons sunroof operation :-). Thanks. I do believe (I would need to do a test of the wagons open/close switch to be sure) that my module would work for the wagon. I would just need to add an optional stage in my program for that additional press. My module detects and waits for the motor to stop running so the added length of time is not an issue. I must note that this does unfortunately increase the difficulty of installation by requiring that the sunroof module be popped out to get at the actual contacts on the motor, but its really not bad.

Is the door-lock mechanism (Key Hole) purely mechanical or is it electronic? I've admittedly never used it... BMW convertibles can drop the top with the key in the door... Awesome.

DeltaNu1142 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 BMW convertibles can drop the top with the key in the door... Awesome. Actually... my E46 M3 would do it with the fob. Press & hold unlock... voila. Windows open & top down. The downside is the fob only worked within a radius of about 12 feet. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyd Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Well I've got the parts in needed to assemble a "real" (non breadboard) version. But also just acquired a boat and have been spending a lot of time working on that lately. I'm going to leave the just spread out on my coffee table as motivation to get it finished. I'm certainly interested in giving back to this great online community so I will post a schematic and even the hex code for my microchip program. However, in order to make this one, you need to be familiar with PIC microchips and have a chip programmer. Alternatively I'm willing to make a small number of these things for a price (for parts and my time). If I make the modifications I mentioned earlier in the thread, how many people might be interested in purchasing one of these from me? I think the price would be somewhere between $60-$90.

Mega Users paintpollz Posted May 17, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted May 17, 2012 what about designing a simple ciruit that will auto-close the moonroof when you turn the car off as well? volvo It works, I've got a solution! Just need to move it from breadboard to a real circuit board. I'm also considering possibly adding features (if I really want to spend more time): - auto-close on ign off - auto tilt down when tilted up and "open" is pressed - water sensing close (probably won't bother) If this little device is to be installed up with the switches and motor, it's gotta be real small. So aside from the extra time, I have space limitations to consider. Dude, awesome. Once finalized, consider it sold to this guy.

mikeyd Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 It shall have ign auto close... btw I have an 2005 sedan and the FSM for 2005 sedan/wagon. I would imagine 2006 is the same but if anyone has the sunroof wire diagram for 06,07,08... perhaps you can send it my way.
