auto window roll up with arming

yea those're bacially the options i was looking at (the magnet setup an stuff).  my window motors actually do have a clutch mechanics so it's not THAT bad having them run for a couple seconds when the windows already closed.  i'd jsut prefer that they not to prevent excessive wear on the motors an stuff.  i guess i'll probably either tryout the timer thing or possibly check how much the magnet switches run.  i figure if i put them in the doors along with a relay to cut power at the motor it shouldn't be that hard.

thanks for all your suggestions!

you're welcome.

it's always fun to play with electronice 'toys'.  sounds like your on the right track.

here's something you haven't heard...

do you know electronics work with smoke?

'cause when you let the smoke out of them, they quit working!!   ha ha, i kill me...

have fun!

Has your car got a multi function electric windows switch? The one's where you can push it forwards for up or click it forwards a bit more to close the windows completey. You could easier put a relay across this and link it to alarm, or even the central locking motor.

haha ok well after much debate i'm actually now considering converting to a window module...
