I'm considering this for my wagon...I thought I read that the lights flashing were not possible? Did I read this wrong?

Anybody know if wiring the wagon is more/less work than the sedan?

Can you control the windows/sunroof with these?

When i hold the key in the locked or unlocked position it rolls the windows up/down, do these remotes support that feature?

I have had the cheap one for probably three years or so.

As for the sunroof/window deal, that feature is controlled by the convience module, so if you were to locate which wire(s) get energized by holding the key, then you should be able to hook an aux button to this. I don't remember if these systems have a unused aux output or not.
