SATSFYD Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 So I like the fact that when the LED lites up I can see it thru my map light on the drivers side headliner at night.

mikeyd Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Update: Finally got a modified wagon version finished and tested using a contraption I built to adapt my car to seem more wagon like. Plan to fast ship one to 'notthesnail' for a quick test before shipping the rest. Add one-touch operation (and more) to your stock sunroof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users paintpollz Posted November 23, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted November 23, 2012 Installed mine today. Took about 2 and a half hours because I can't read electrical diagrams haha. I was also relearning the art of soldering, and I am now very good at it. Score. Things to note: -I would rate installation a Medium in difficulty, mainly because of the soldering, and the short length of wires to work with. -Mine is an 07 sedan. Remove all 3 screws and pull the entire sunroof motor/module assembly out. Don't try to remove the tabs on just the module because you cant get to one of them, just removed all 3 of the t20 screws and the entire motor/module assembly comes right out. Easy. This would have save me 20 minutes if I did this off the bat. -Be careful where you start chopping wires! Make sure you leave enough room to work with for the wires going back to the switches, and the wires on the harness that go into the module. You don't have much to work with in the first place -With this type of electrical work, you should be soldering EVERY connection. Don't half-ass it (No offense to others that haven't done it that way).  - Windyroad took a picture that's a couple posts back of all of the connections. Although I strongly advise against crimping wires, it is an excellent picture to refer back to if you are having trouble understanding the diagram. I compared the picture to the diagram for several minutes and it help me out a lot. Thanks Windy (p.s., solder those damn connections, especially the ones in the module housing!) Comments on functionality: This thing is great, it is a really nicely working piece. Just as someone said earlier, you cannot hold close for a split second too long from the tilted up position, or it will stop at the half way point. I'm really impressed with it. -is there anyway to have it "auto-close" from tilted up position? Cheers to a great product.

mikeyd Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 ...and the short length of wires to work with. Are you referring to the cars wiring or my harnesses being short? I know there is not much length in the stock wiring up there Comments on functionality: This thing is great, it is a really nicely working piece. Just as someone said earlier, you cannot hold close for a split second too long from the tilted up position, or it will stop at the half way point. I'm really impressed with it. Could you clarify the holding of close from tilted up position?  -is there anyway to have it "auto-close" from tilted up position? Cheers to a great product. I did not do auto-close from tilted up. I think I decided that was unlikely to be used as I envision the tilted up as a vent for heat when parked and that most would not want it to close from that position. Plus since its so short of a movement and no waiting, I figured its not much of an inconvenience in the first place. Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you like it.

I'm glad you like it. Your wires are perfect length, it is the stock ones than are short.  What do you mean by clarifying the holding? You just have to let go right when it beeps, or it will stop half way.  Mike, this thing is really sweet. Truly a nice addition to the cars functionality.

When you are clicking and holding "tilt up," if you don't let go the button go almost before the SLM1 stops beeping, the sunroof will close at the halfway point (or after the first step), and will not move any furthur. It is pretty difficult to release "tilt up" button quick enough when attempting this. "Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left."

PeteCool Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 pollz: "You just have to let go right when it beeps, or it will stop half way"... please tell me specifically what function your referring to... also thanks!  I got that too. It's when the roof is full open, and you hold tilt-up button to go all the way to tilted up roof. If you hold it even longer after the beep, it won't even move. It's really easy to get that bug while driving on the highway, cause I can't hear the beep  To me, that looks like something that could be software/firmware related? I can make a video if you want to see it.

Mega Users paintpollz Posted November 26, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted November 26, 2012 Guys, everything is working fine. Going from fully open to tilted up, you need to let go of the button as soon as it beeps. If you keep pressing tilt up for a little bit, the roof will close to the first step only. If you hold it longer than that, the roof will do nothing. It might be different in other years? Mine is 2008. Mike this is what I'm talking about if he explains it better. "Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left."

mikeyd Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Looks fine. Maybe make sure you didn't make contact between those two prongs on the blue wire. Probably fine there, but you'll know if those connections are good along with the others if you've got a multimeter/voltmeter. Do you have one? I guess you can whip that out after you've soldered.

underground000 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Works with a turbo timer doesn't auto close or try to when when I remove the key *my hids w/ harness flicker when I remove the key and turbo timer kicks in. So there's a short period of a volt drop to turn off the hid relay. Btw it's an eBay turbo timer *auto close properly when engine turns off 5eat downshift rev match:) Powder coated wheels: completed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lieutenantcolumbo Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Our cars really don't need a turbo timer, but I guess it doesn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windy Road Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Mike, finally had a break in the weather and got everything soldered up. Had a issue with a ground and she's a working now. Tho the auto close once off isn't but I just gotta program it probably lol. 276hp/347tq On a DynoJet Dyno Video - Had a big lean spot as you can tell in the second pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyd Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Oh thats great! Another case of crimp connector fail I suppose. So everything works except auto-close? Yes make sure you programmable options are what they should be and that you've got proper readings on the ignition wire. With a loose or missing ground, screwy thing could happen.
