    hi,
    Got a stock mk3 gti with closure alarm/key fob. fob opens car and sorts alarm out.

    my car alarm does not close windows, that was a bit later i think. however, if i have windows open and lock car with key. windows and sunroof will close, then use key fob to lock/alarm. When i use fob to open, windows open about 2". there must be a link/connection somewhere? any thoughts?

    sounds like your alarm should close the windows on arming.

    there is a factory fitted alarm on my vento which operated the sunroof from the fob as well as with the key in the door lock.

    when i installed electric windows the system automatically closes these as well! when i unlock/disarm within a short time after arming/locking it opens up the passenger front window and driver's side rear window as you describe (but about 5"). i don't know why either.

    i dont know what to suggest tho, sorry! [:s]

    cheers for response, it always gets locked/opend by the fob, so really not a big issue. just one of those, ( i wonder why? ) things.

    They reason is you can open your windows with the key as well as closing them
    So the alarm pulse on locking wont have an effect if windows are closed

    But will if closed and you disarm normally this only happens if you disarm very soon after arming
    There is a way to stop this happening in the alarm wiring but would have to be done by a fitter

    So will it take a lot to make original fob open/close windows ( making it a total closure alarm? )[:s]

    Depending on outputs of alarm it should be able to interface a total closure unit
