Default Link for passenger window fix?

I saw a while ago that there was a new bypass product apparently that fixed the problem of the passenger window losing all of it's power by doing some sort of bypass...

Anyone have the link for it? I've tried finding it but can't, and second..

Anyone know how to do it? I have no clue..any help would be appreciated, i have 5% tints with t-tops, and i can't take the tops off while leaving one completely black window up...looks ridiculous.

That fix is to boost the power to the electric motor, because from the factory it is underpowered. But it does not fix a bad motor. If your window is ridiculously slow or doesn't move at all, you need a new motor and that kit won't help you.

Is the kit pretty easy to install? I figured I had to buy a new window motor anyways, but, heard that this thing helps with the speed tremendously

Haven't installed it before, but I'm sure it comes with instructions and if you are moderately competent with electronics, it should be a piece of cake.

It does make the window alot faster, and its not that tough to install. But then again its not all that hard to make yourself either....

They got banned? I wonder why--their customer service was awesome and they made a pretty decent product. Ah well, probably money.

Like I said, that autotrix mod is something you can make if your ok at dealing with wiring. Made mine in about an hour, and that was without anything to go off of.

You need some wire, preferably 12awg, 2 4-pin relays, 8 female spade connectors (12awg), and either some crimp connectors are a soldering iron depending on which way you want your connectors sealed. PM me for wiring details.
