I love you Ray
Will have to have a better read through the various options when I get home tonight, but it looks very promising.
*Theoretically* you should be able to simply wire into the lock/unlock contacts in the drivers door and get it working... but I haven't got round to trying that myself. Again theoretically it works on the prinicple of momentary contact unlocks the door, longer contact then starts the window function. What this means is you need a remote that works a little different to most.
A stock remote sends an signal which then closes the switch for a predetermined time, some more fancy ones will hold that contact as long as you hold the button on the remote, which is what you want for the window feature.
I'm trying to get away without adding an additional keyfob to me keys, especially now that I have the switchblade key, ideally I would be able to integrate the transmitter in that to whatever system I get for the OEM look and feel, but that replacement generic switchblade might work out OK if I can transfer the inner workings to mine. (Reminder to all to be aware if you have the immobiliser the replacement switch blade may or may not suit since you need to get your chip into it very close to the key itself... it comes down to the fob itself and how much you want to (or can) cut up the insides)
Very good write up Ray, I might have some bits to add soon after I buy some of those bits you've listed
