Operate your windows without the ignition on or the key in - Smart Car of America Forums : Smart Car Forum

You can now operate your windows without the need to have the ignition on or the key in.

We have just added a new, little accessory to our list of items for the smart that is very easy to install and provides you with the ability to operate your windows without the key.

A similar item sells in the EU for over $30. If you are handy you can make a mod similar to this by yourself or simply buy one that already has all the right connections made.

Here is the direct product link:

smart car Fuse Expander - Ignition Free Window Modification

We have also uploaded the install instructions on the product page in case someone would like to take a look at them first.

Thanks again for your support everyone.

It was fuse #4 on my 2008 451. Works beautifully!

I just verified Fuse #3 works for my 2008 451, as noted in the instructions and on the Evilution site. Please follow the Smart Madness instructions when installing the kit.

For a $1.50 in parts you can have a useful mod.

Absolutely true.

Turns out, if you connect to the WRONG SIDE of fuse #4 in a 2008 451, the window mod will work, but the blower will not.

After seeing others post that their 451s were on fuse #3 and checking the manual, I went out and tried the blower annnndddd...nada.

Fuse position swap effected and---ZOWIE! Windows and blower both function.

Seems, however, the transmogrifier isn't getting full power now. Troubleshooting continues. If the smilies were enabled right now, there'd be an embarrassed smilie right here( )
