529t sunroof module

Will do...and I also believe as I stated earlier as well.that the recommendation of the 529T over the 530T was a matter of cost effectivness...not a matter of compatability..In all but your partcular case..a 530T would not be practical and a 529T is all that is needed.

I think because this "tech" read somewhere that a 530T is not nessecary or recommended..it was easier for him to assume it was forbidden to use..rather then getting off his lazy duff and maybe doing a little research for you. Sad..but I have found recently that the tech line there is really becoming a lazy ,unknowing bunch. If they need to move more then a few inches to help you...it's easier for them to say "it can't be done" and take the next call.

I called them myself a few weeks ago about a factory interface and for the life of me I could not get the "tech" to understand that an interface is NOT a bypass module...I got an "I don't know",,,theres your tech line for ya, they used to be better...must be cutting costs in that dept. I guess.

I know..pretty soon we will just be transfered to someone in India reading off a list..oh wait..that happens already..ever call customer service about an XM or Sirius problem???

No matter WHAT you tell them..it's always the installers fault and they say to bring it back to the place that installed ut...but..they are totally lost when I tell them I am the "place" that installed it. Yes..it's sad.

HI creed!

I did reply to your PM, but I will also answer here.  That DEI tech does not know what he is talking about and most probably was reading a script.  Custom audio is correct. A motor is a motor. I have been using the 530T on my sunroof with ZERO problems. I installed it for the same functionality that you wanted...to be able to to hit the sunroof channel button, THEN arm, and still have the sunroof open.  Of course, I only do this in front of my house or when the car is in my plain sight.

Good luck!

Creed,

I don't know what to tell you. I had it in my 1991 Honda Accord for 2 years with no problems. (I yanked it out when I sold the car.)  The sunroof had no tilt function.

I plan on installing the same 530T in my 2003 Chevy Tahoe's sunroof, and I have no worries about doing so.

When using an automated 'window' module with a sunroof you need to make sure you are interfacing directly with the sunroof motor wires, and NOT the switch wires.  Obviously the switch current won't change at all at the end of travel if there is a 'smart' sunroof control module in the car (and most cars have them).

Have you thought about removing the (-) when armed wire from the close trigger and using an AUX output to control when the sunroof closes.  This will give you a bit more flexibility as to when the sunroof closes.  I, personally, would hate for my windows and sunroof to close EVERY time I armed my alarm.  I like to leave my windows vented a bit.  You could hook both the windows and the sunroof up to an AUX channel and have them close only when you push the AUX button.
