Ladies, never break a nail again.

[TMAK]

Anyone know if thats what the Aston Martin DB9's use?
they've got funky handles

 

[DOUGMO]

i know cayenne turbos have this function on the tailgate and outer handles.

Why would I want that!? I need to touch a spot on the car (or wave my hand like a ******) then reach to the back of the door and pull it open!? With my trusty traditional handle I disengage the latch and pull the door open in ONE movement

Oh and I still have a cheap and crappy looking patch on my door where the door handle used to live?!

A nice gimmick.

 

[JiMi]

good point about the handle to pull it open... i was acutually thinking... you could just attach a stronger solenoid to your central locking circuit and on a 2 door at least you could use the close button on one door and the open button for the other.. if there is no external handle you dont need a working locking mechanisim after all

You still need a key to start the ******* lol...

You still need a key to start the ******* lol...

Push button start!
Jay work on it!

I actually used a remote to wind the passenger window down............works well............plus there is an override in the boot incase of electrical failure.

 

[EVO-00X]

... umm... what happens when the battery goes flat?

 

[bitza]

If the battery goes flat a simple 9 volt battery will get the window down, can't see a battery going flat as I run two of them, one under the bonnet, the other in the boot.

 

[SIVART]

be cool on my Jag , but not for evo's

 

[boostboy76]

You run two batteries?

Isn't there a fair weight penalty doing that?

 

[Gianni]

I run two batteries too.

With the door issue u could install gulling doors that open automatically. Check out www.xracing.com.au

My new Commodore wagon uses the same idea to open the tailgate.

I think a company we get gear from sells the auto-loc product . I'll check tomorrow.

This is a link to the company in the states.
