How To: KP Technology Window Up Module

Just a quick recap... this module allows us to use our fobs to lock the car with the windows down and with a second click on the lock button, the windows will go up automatically.
What is involved
1. A KPTechnologies Window up module for the Accord/TSX
2. Some basic solidering skills
3. A solidering tool
4. Black Tap
5. Large flathead wrapped with electrical tap or panel removal tool
6. #1 Phillips head screwdriver
7. Electic wire strippers
Follow the directions for taking the door off in the DIY area. It is very simple, roll the window down, remove 3 screws (1 under the grip on the armrest, 2 behind the door handle), take off the molding behind the side mirror, and then pop the tabs holding the panel on the door. Next unhook the door lever cable. Finally disconnect the window module wire connection and power mirror connection.
Here's how the install went
1. Expose the wires in the loom that sits behind the speaker cut-out.
2. Wire the KPTechnologies module to the Acura wires (should not cut the wires, merely strip them and solider the KPTech wires, then wrap with black eletrical tape)
12 Volts (RED) to the Acura Green/White
Ground (BLACK) to the Acura Black
Ignition (YELLOW) to the Acura Yellow
Lock Actuator (BLUE) to the Acura Yellow/Black
Now go to the larger loom of wires on the power window connection. The loom goes into the door, I recommend running the KPTech Green wire along the same path to so you get a cleaner install.
Lock Cylinder (GREEN) to the Acura White/Red
To test, reconnect the window switch to test. Make sure to close the door, unlock with the fob and roll all the windows down. Click to lock the doors and click again, waiting 5 seconds. Your windows should roll up all the way. If you want, you can click a 3rd time and the window will stop.
Here is a link to the video I took after we finished (cut and paste into browser).

After you've completed the test, I suggest you zip tie the module on the loom to the left of the speaker cut out.
Reinstall the door panel making sure to reconnect everything. Don't forget to clip the piece on the inner door handle cable (white/translucent piece on the cable). I did and you'll find yourself stuck in the car.
That's it!!
This module uses simple sends a signal to the window module just like it would recieve from us using the key to close the windows, so it is merely doing the same thing, which makes it that much better of a mod!!

Will this work with aftermarket alarm systems?

from personal experience, and experience of others, i would say do not purchase the KPT module. It exponentially lowers your signal strength of your key fob. Not to mention, most aftermarket alarm systems have modules like the one above specifically made to integrate into the alarm system.

Correct. Most aftermarket alarm systems have window modules. From what I've heard, the KPT module reduces the already short distance of your OEM key fob. If you have an aftermarket alarm system, check to see if they have a similar module that you can use.
