GB: One Touch Close Sunroof Module
 

This little module installs directly above the sunroof switches and allows the sunroof to open and close with one touch.

https://i170.photobucket.com/albums/...of/closeup.jpg

The install takes less then 5 minutes and could easily be done by a trained monkey using ordinary tools. (screw driver and socket) Only 3 wires, two of them attach with a bolt and the third uses a wire tap.

The sunroof can still be opened or closed partially by pressing the opposite button once. Please note that the sunroof will stop if there is an obstruction, but only after somewhat considerable force. It also does not automatically reverse. For this reason, a liability waiver must be signed by anyone who wishes to buy one.



Here's how to install it:

Remove map light assembly.

(1 minute)


Attach black ground wire with existing bolt.
http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u...f/DSCF0037.jpg
(1 minute)


Attach power wire and trigger wire. The power wire is the one with the slide connector already crimped on. Use a Philips screw driver to loosen the screw that hold the blue wire down. After you have it loose, slip in the orange wire with the pre-crimped connector and tighten the screw.

Slide the wire splice onto the red wire. Once that is done, slide the orange wire from the module into the splice. Notice that one side of the spice has two holes. This is the side the orange wire will be inserted. Once everything is in place, crimp the connector with pliers.

(2 minutes)


Make it look neat and put the map light assembly back on the car.

Watch it work!

If your paypal account is linked to your checking account, then it's $40 (you would have had to enter a check routing number and bank number when you set up the account)

if your paying with visa or mastercard, then it's $43


Does that make sense?

ok, i see. my visa check card being my checking account confused me. thanks.

Another Bump!! RR I like what you come up with.

Dude, that last post was like 15 minutes ago! I'm all into RR's mods too, but you gotta wait a little longer my friend.

obligatory yet completely unnecessary bump

Sorry to be such an IDIOT, but the previous 2 were not visible when I added mine! I guess going to eat dinner makes me an IDIOT!

Again I apologize that I am useless Neo!! Red pill or Blue pill??

Noice...

I think I will perform the DIY that allows the sunroof to work after the car is turned off for a short period of time like the power windows.

https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...ht=diy+sunroof

Could this work as a one touch up/ down for the windows?

keep 'em coming guys! Can't wait to get this installed.
I often surprise myself with how easily amused I am. :(

Will the DIY for the sunroof to work after the power is off compliment this mod [EDIT: this mod being the one touch close circuit] or conflict with it? Because that is another gripe of mine. It would be AWESOME to not only have to hit the button once but to be able to do it when the key is off! Let us know, that DIY would be great!

Oh man, now I have to get our EE at work to make the auto-lights mod that RR did last year and my car will almost have all the "expected" features in it. All that's left is to find a way to make the auto climate control like the Euros have.

The mod just gives power to the sunroof for longer like the windows so it should play fine with this sunroof mod. ;)

Great find! I might have to try that DIY.

In regards to the windows. I briefly looked at the window circuit and it appears that this unit will not work for that. It's on my list of things to explore for the summer though....

And I've decided to put the link to the waiver in the thread. I'll also update the first post. If you want to email it to me, use gmail account please. If you need my address, for snail mail PM me.

Waiver: http://trickrx8.com/waiver.pdf

Lastly, I've collected the remaining materials this morning. I should be ready to ship the first dozen out Monday.
