I couldn't find the manual for your alarm or your window module (if you know where they are on the internet, point me in the right direction).....so I'll just give you some general info.

You should connect the auxillary wire from the alarm to the corresponding input on the window module to be able to have control of the windows via the remote.

If the window module has a "ground when armed" wire (usually orange), that will go to the alarm's ground when armed wire (also usually orange). This will send out a negative signal when the alarm is armed, in order to roll up the windows when you arm the car.

I doubt you need the relay since you're only using one module, but I guess it can't hurt. If you're already using the "ground when armed" wire of the alarm for something else, like a starter kill, then be sure to use some diodes if you use it for the window module, too.

Cool, glad you got it working.
Here is how you should hook up the diode....I posted this picture in another post before. The 530t is my window module. I have 2 modules, but you can hook yours up in the same manner.

So you'll have the striped side of the diode going towards the alarm. I usually just buy a small pack of diodes from RadioShack. They're the 1N4004 diodes.
