Someone with a TIS subscription might want to see whether there is a similar setting on the IS.

i'll try to keep you guys posted.
here is the PM he sent me:
Carlos,
KPtechnologies would love to work with an IS250/350 owner in developing a Lexus specific window module.
The module would allow you to raise your windows through your OEM remote control (similar to the way you can lower them already).
If you are interested in helping us out we can start by verifying the operation of the OEM system.
1. Can you lower the windows from the keyfob? If yes, how (ie hold the unlock button down for X seconds)?
2. Can you raise the windows back up using the key in the driver's door key cylinder? If you can, how (ie turn and hold the key in the lock position for X amount of seconds)?
I did a bunch of research on the IS250/350 when they first came out and everything I found showed they would be fully compatible with our module. I tried contacting various owners and at the time no one showed any interest (I think the car was too new for people to start testing things on it). At one time I even had all the wire colors identified, based on the service manual availible on line. I'll have to find them.
Typically, our testers are local, but if you have the ability to install the module yourself then we are willing to work with you on that. Just keep in mind that we currently do not have any pictures or any definate wiring information. ALL wiring will have to be carefully verified with a volt meter prior to making any connections.
Please let me know if you are interested and we can get this going!
Thank you,

He also has a few other modules that I think a lot of us would be interested in. He has a Navigation "OK" Bypass Module, Traction Module (that will hopefull work with VDIM, but im not holdin my breath on this one) and a Reverse Mirror Tilt Module for those of us who dont have the sport package or luxury package.

Is there a way to fix mine because when i hold the unlock button the windows start to go down but if i release the unlock button at anytime until they are all the way down they will stop... anyway to fix it so they all go down automatically?

Wait..... so you mean to tell me if I hold the unlock button down on my remote the windows will start to roll down, and if I let go of the button they will stop?
WOW I had no idea. I guess I need to read my manual.
Also, the plastic thing on the door, are you talking about the button you push to lock the car? Sorry, I'm a complete newb at my car.

At the 5,000 mile service, I had the dealer disable that feature, since next time it might be raining.

as per davegs4, I am allowed to post this:
Carlos,
It may be beneficial for you to post KPtechnologies information and location and help us find a local tester. If we find a local tester I'll be able to provide you with more detail and still allow you to be a tester.
We have found that if we try to find testers ourselves that a lot of forums ban us for not being sponsors, even when we don't sell any products.
KPtechnologies is located in the Dayton, Ohio area and is willing to work with people who live in a ~1 hour radius (Dayton, Columbus, Cincinatti, etc).
Thank you,
Kevin
so someone needs to contact him. so we can get the ball rolling on this. please get in touch with him @ www.kptechnologies.com
DO NOT PM ME about any of this. this is as much as I know so there is no need to get in touch me. once it is determined whether or not this module will work for us... we will see about getting a group buy going on.
