Auto windows with the remote?
I thought I remember reading somewhere on here that the functionality is there it just needs to be programmed by the dealer, is that correct? When you hold down unlock on the remote the windows roll down and then when you hold lock the windows roll back up ...
Thanks!
Thanks!
Key fob can only be programmed to roll down windows

I just ordered a Carista Bluetooth OBD2 adapter from Amazon: Link: http://amzn.com/B00YVHGTBM
You'll also need their app for Android or iPhone - it's free to look at the settings and ODB stuff, but you'll have to purchase the Pro version of the app for $20 to be able to change the car's settings. It should arrive today - I'll report back after I've had a chance to use it.

The Carista was delivered and I got a chance to use it. As expected, I had to purchase the Pro upgrade for the app for $19.99, but it worked like a charm.

How did you activated it? Did you take it to the dealer and had them do it for you? Or did you do it on your own with the Techstream or the app mentioned above?
