Please help me to find a way to control windows with key fob.

ok everyone knows that I'm disabled.I'd like to be able to control the power windows with key like I could do with all the rest of the Hondas I owned. is there an easy way to do this. If so explain to me how. I find myself getting out of the car but at the same time I forget to check out my windows. They are usually down 90% of the time. If no one's around it means getting back in the car to roll them back up. Im so used to jumping out of my 8th gen Accord EX-L Navi and 3rd generation Acura TL doing this that I can't get tuis pattern out my head. Is there an easy fix like swapping the power window actuator from a 14' civic or another newer car? Thanks for ony input to make my life easier when transferring to and from my wheelchair to car. Im open minded to anything.

I believe there are aftermarket window automation systems, There's one called the DEI 530T, it's some module that controls the window systems and that's all I know of.

Thank you bro. My family friend owns an electronic/car audio store. I'll get him to get a price for me. He carries that brand of electronics.

Thank you. I'll check it out. The first module a member listed only works for up to two windows. I drive with all down. I'd still be fucked if the rear windows are down. Id have to get back in the car to roll up the windows.

There's a 535T model... it supposedly can control all four windows in ONE direction (you want auto up?). The 530T can control all four too (in one direction), but based on a google search, only the front two will do auto up, the rear have to be commanded to go up (via the fob). At least, you don't have to get back in the car.

I haven't seen any that control all four in both directions... the thing about the 535T/530T is that, you aren't limited to only one unit, so you can use two units... however, I'm pretty sure it (one or two units) needs to be hooked to either a security or remote starter system from DEI's brands (Clifford, Python and Viper are a few of DEI's brands).

the only reason i know this is because i had to do it one time for a shop i used to work at.
this is by far one of the stupidest things you can do. dont be an ***, buy 2 of them to do 4 windows or just do your 2 fronts only with the one module you have.
Still, it's better than the 529T (which is recommended for sunroof control) or even some other companies... 1 unit, controls two windows in only ONE direction... or one window in both directions (in other words, half the functionality of the 530T).

I ordered two 535Ts to attach to my Viper remote starter. I should have enough AUX channels to support it.

The website says that it (the window roll up) only works with the MDX, TL, TSX, and Accord. No Fits or Civics. I'm kind of wondering if it would still work and they just didn't test it for Fits or Civics. They also say that it only works up until 2011 model years, which also makes me wonder if they just haven't updated the site since then.

My moms 2013 EX-L Civic has it.

As far as what I want is like stock honda. Press unlock button twice and hold (windows roll down). Roll windows up turning the key in lock twice and hold (windows roll up). I was told the Viper app alarm system for Androids/ iOS can do the windows.

The Viper units do have a feature called "Comfort Closure" that allows you to remotely close windows when arming the alarm, BUT it requires the car itself to already similar features as OEM (as described^). And I suspect that is why the KPTech unit doesn't support the Fit. Looking at the install procedure, it doesn't manipulate the window's wires, but the door locks instead.

For the Fit, you need the 530T/535T module installed, since we have no such OEM feature. The module can also give all windows "one-touch" up or down if you wire each in a specific way (intercepting the lines BETWEEN the door's window switch and window motor).
