AutoWindow Cool+
 (Universal Fit available)

Cool+ is now offered in Universal fit to work in any vehicle. (See FAQ for details). All of the same great Cool+ function and its optional sensors also work on Universal fit models!

AutoWindow Cool+ has the same remote window commands as Classic model plus it has a built-in Heat Sensor for adjustable temperature venting. Cool+ can be commanded to work while you are away to prevent the parked car from becoming an oven! Or use regular VENT and CLOSE remote window commands when temperature control is not desired. The choice is yours each time you leave the car - just use the AutoWindow command that does what you want.

THERMO-CYCLE closes windows and sunroof then monitors interior temperature. It will vent windows if it becomes too hot inside. Monitoring continues and windows close if the interior cools off sufficiently. This cycle repeats as necessary, ignoring small or brief temperature fluctuations to avoid excessive window operation and battery drain.
THERMO-CLOSE
closes sunroof and keeps windows vented so long as air circulation is required to let hot air out. It will close windows once a cool interior temperature is reached for a prolonged period. This command does not vent windows again after closing them.

Nite Sense option adds more function to Cool+ THERMO commands. Nite Sense closes THERMO vented windows at nightfall (low light condition) and keeps windows closed in darkness no matter how hot it gets inside the car. Nite Sense allows THERMO-CYCLE to resume venting the next day (temperature permitting) but keeps THERMO-CLOSE windows shut after closing. For safety, Nite Sense does not interfere with or close windows in any other circumstance. Nite sense does not operate with VENT, ONE-TOUCH VENT, or on windows which have simply been left open.

Rain Sense option works with all venting modes of Cool+, including: THERMO-CYCLE and THERMO-CLOSE, VENT, and ONE-TOUCH VENT. No matter which AutoWindow command is used to vent windows, Rain Sense will shut the vented windows and keep them closed if it rains! For safety, Rain Sense does not interfere with or close windows under any other circumstances. Nite Sense and Rain Sense when ordered together for Cool+ work together for THERMO commands.

Cool+ includes a Temperature Control Guide for using all these exclusive features:

Press remote... Command AutoWindow Cool+ does this...
unlocklock
(unlock lock)
THERMO-CYCLE
activation
(Command works when THERMO-CYCLE mode is set). This command closes windows and sunroof and then monitors interior heat rise. The heat sensor will VENT when temperature exceeds the set limit for a period of time. The sensor will VENT-CLOSE when temperature falls below the limit for a period of time. The vent/close cycle may repeat as necessary.
lock(two second hold)
(lock..)
THERMO-CLOSE
activation
(Command works when THERMO-CLOSE mode is set). This command closes sunroof and VENTS windows, then waits 15 minutes before monitoring temperature drop. The heat sensor will VENT-CLOSE if interior temperature remains consistently cooler than the set limit for a period of time. After windows close, they will not vent again in this mode - the car stays closed regardless of temperature rise.
lock
(lock)
THERMO-STOP Cancels all THERMO-CYCLE or THERMO-CLOSE activity, closes vented windows and deactivates temperature sensing.

Heat Sense
is included inside every AutoWindow Cool+ and is set at the factory to approx. 110º F (40° C). It has a screw-adjustable trigger covering a range from room temperature to melting point. Heat Sense can be enabled or disabled. When enabled, a Cool+ temperature mode can be selected (SETUP options) for using THERMO commands.

Nite Sense (if equipped) includes a tiny light sensor for discrete interior mounting. The suggested location is on driver's door and does not require any drilling. If your Cool+ is equipped with Nite Sense, it always monitors ambient light while any THERMO command is active. Responsiveness to dusk depends on having an unobstructed view from the sensor through the window. When a preset light level is reached for one minute Nite Sense closes windows which are currently vented by either the THERMO-CLOSE or THERMO-CYCLE command. Rain Sense can also be added with Nite Sense for combined benefits.

Rain Sense (if equipped) includes a sensor that mounts on the inside of the windshield near the rear view mirror. Just peel and stick! Installation kit and cable included for connecting rain sensor to the AutoWindow module. Rain Sense monitors the rain sensor when windows have been vented by AutoWindow, and it will close windows if rain is detected. Response time to rain is just a few seconds so little moisture has a chance to get in. Rain Sense does not allow the Cool+ THERMO commands to re-vent windows after closing them for rain - they will stay shut. Add Nite Sense and all three sensors (Heat, Nite, Rain) work together for complete protection from the elements!

AutoWindow Brite

AutoWindow Brite has all Basic remote window commands plus headlight illumination features to light your walkway at night. Feel safer around your car in the dark and see the path for sure footing. Arming or disarming the car using any remote command in the dark turns on headlights (HIGH or LOW beams - your choice). AutoWindow extinguishes lights in 15 seconds, or when you get in and close the driver's door - whichever occurs first.

You can now specify an increase to 30, or 45 second headlight illumination. Please indicate at time of order, or the default of 15 seconds will be used.

AutoWindow Brite includes Nite Sense to prevent AUTO-BRITE headlights from coming on during the day - when illumination is not needed. A small light sensor mounts on the door to monitor ambient light coming in through the windows.

Exclusive features of Brite model:

Press remote... Command AutoWindow Brite does this...
...lockARM
(in darkenss)
AUTO-BRITE Any remote command or key operation that results in arming or disarming the car in darkness turns on headlights for 15 seconds. AUTO-BRITE works in conjunction with remote window commands: CLOSE, ONE-TOUCH UP, and OPEN. Entering the car while AUTO-BRITE headlights are on will extinguish headlights immediately.
...unlockDISARM
(in darkness)
unlockunlocklock
(unlock unlock lock)
BRITE-NOW This remote command forces headlights on for 15 seconds in any light condition (daytime or nighttime).

AUTO-BRITE and BRITE-NOW are designed to work only if the car is parked with engine off.

AutoWindow TT/RS

AutoWindow TT/RS has all the Basic remote window commands plus special features for cars with aTurbo Timer and a Remote Starter. TT/RS works for all 1998+up car models with any brand of turbo timer and solves the security problem of arming the car after turbo timer cooldown on the 1.8T. AutoWindow locks and arms the car - and it can even roll up windows! TT/RS also supports aftermarket Remote Car Starters that have auxiliary input to trigger the start/stop sequence. AutoWindow lets you use the car remote to start the car!

With TT/RS you don't hack into your fuse box or immobilizer circuitry and there is no risk of tripping AIR BAG check light or other diagnostic sensors - unlike other turbo timeout approaches you'll find out there. Be kind to you car and get TT/RS.

Exclusive features of TT/RS model:

Press remote... Command AutoWindow TT/RS does this...
Leave car running
(no press)
TURBO-LOCK (Default). When Turbo Timer cuts the ignition after leaving the car, TT/RS locks the car and arms the alarm.
TURBO-CLOSE (Configurable option). Performs TURBO-LOCK and also rolls up windows and closes sunroof. (STOP and RETRACT remote commands may be used to halt windows/sunroof.)
Leave car running
(key unlock)
TURBO-STOP Turning key in the door lock to UNLOCK (once)prevents TURBO-LOCK / TURBO-CLOSE "this time only". TT/RS will not lock, roll up, nor arm the car after TT cuts off - car stays unlocked. You can then lock the car by key after TURBO-STOP and car locks with no further TT/RS action when the timer cut engine.
unlockunlocklock
(unlock unlock lock)
AUTO-START Locks all doors, arms car, sends negative pulse trigger to Remote Starter auxiliary input to start car sequence. Events for starting the car are determined by your Remote Starter configuration.

TURBO commands are designed to work only after the driver exits the car with engine running. For driver and occupant safety TURBO commands don't function unless the driver has exited the car prior to the TT shutting the ignition off. If the driver remains seated or is exiting (door open) when the TT cuts ignition AutoWindow will not lock, arm, or perform window / sunroof actions.

After exiting the car with TT running you may take any of the following actions:
1) walk away and let AutoWindow lock, arm, (and optionally CLOSE) when the TT cuts off,
2) lock the car using key (won't arm), walk away and let AutoWindow arm (and optionally CLOSE),
3) lock and use key to roll up windows / sunroof (won't arm), then let AutoWindow arm,
4) unlock using the key, so AutoWindow does nothing when the TT cuts off, car stays open,
5) unlock using key, pause 2 seconds, re-lock using key (won't arm), and AutoWindow does nothing when TT cuts.

TURBO commands do nothing if the driver exits the car after the TT shuts off. In this case, use the key or remote normally to lock and arm the car. Or you can use an AutoWindow command like ONE-TOUCH UP to lock, arm, and roll up windows & close sunroof - all with one press of the remote LOCK button!

Some Turbo Boost Controllers and Remote Car Starters have a built-in cool down period (delayed ignition shutoff feature). AutoWindow TT/RS works the same with these devices and all dedicated turbo timers like APEXi, HKS, Greddy, etc. AutoWindow TT/RS retains compatibility with your Remote Car Starter's remote and its other functions - you may use either remote for starting the car.

Configure TT/RS from the remote using SETUP. You can temporarily remove all TURBO commands and AutoWindow features for vehicle servicing and enable them later - it takes less than a minute.

All necessary tools and cables are included for the job of connecting to the AutoWindow module. Rain Sense monitors for moisture hitting the windshield. All venting commands are protected by Rain Sense. Response to rain takes only a few seconds for closing vented windows under wet conditions.

Classic is the original and best selling remote window controller of all time!
