Wireless Remote and Back Window
The owners manual for my 4Runner says that "the back window opening program by wireless remote can be changed or disabled."
"For details contact you Toyota dealer."
Has anyone had their remote reprogrammed to make it more difficult to accidently open the back window?
Does anyone know what programming options are available besides just disableing it?
BTW, I have contacted my Dealer but have not gotten an answer yet.
I suspect they will suggest I bring my 4Runner in so they can hook it up to their equipment then tell my programming options.

I bet it wouldn't be too hard to figure out a way to remotely lift the rear window.

I really want to be able to roll it back up too. This thread touched on the idea as well, but doesn't have a solution:

I just took a quick look at that thread.... Does the rear window stop closing if something is in its path? I mean, the dash-mounted switch has an auto-up feature, so the window should be anti-pinch, right?
I think we can find a way to make the remote signal the auto-up switch....

That would be nice!! Especially here in AZ where I roll down the window in the summer before I get in. I'd like to be able to roll it back up if I change my mind.

I stopped by my Toyota dealer on 12/31/04. The service team leader and two techs spent about 30 minutes trying to find how to disable/re-program the remote's back window button but were unsuccessful.
The Toyota 800# support line that the Techs can call is closed for the holidays this week. They will be calling support line next week.
Once I get some answers I will post them.

I'm having a remote start installed on my 4runner. I'm not having toyota do it, but a company called Sterio West. They installed an XM radio in my car a few months ago.
I asked about the back liftgate and they said they could program a remote to give me all the features of my Toyota remote, plus a remote start, and allow me to raise the back liftgate. The power "up" liftgate feature would cost an extra hundred.
Hope this helps. I'm going to get it installed in the next week, so I'll write another post and tell you if the guy new what he was talking about or was full of it.

rando,
What do you think about making the rear window go UP with the key fob?
I was thinking of making that my next little project....

How do you want that to work? There's only one window button. When should it switch functions and become an UP button instead of a DOWN button?
Also, do you know if the rear window controller has a signal to indicate that the window is all the way up? I guess maybe it has to (or something does) because IIRC, the wiper mechanism is disabled if the window isn't all the way up.
We probably should start a new thread for this discussion.

If the widow is up, then the button on the remote will function as a "down" button. Of course the opposite is true also... if the window is already down, the button on the remote will act as an "up" button. I seems doable to me.... what do you think?
Also, do you know if the rear window controller has a signal to indicate that the window is all the way up? I guess maybe it has to (or something does) because IIRC, the wiper mechanism is disabled if the window isn't all the way up.

Yes, it definitely does. Like you said, the rear wiper/washer do not function with the window in the down position.
I was thinking it could be tied into the dash-mounted window switch, which already acts as an auto-up and auto-down switch for the rear window.
Maybe we should start a new thread.

Thanks for the split!
There are a couple of ways you might go about doing this but I'm not sure any of them is going to be simple. Moreover, I'm even less certain that any of them would guarantee safe operation. You don't want that window closing on your kids or pet! At a minimum you'd want to make sure that the safety auto-reverse feature still works under ALL possible input conditions.
