I doubt they do. Most automakers shy away from all but the drivers door b/c of liability issues (passengers w/ smashed fingers).Usually it's done with a controller mounted in the car as opposed to just the regulator/motor in the door. If the '13s have it from the factory it might be able to retrofit but it's a long shot.
This is one of only a few issues I have with my '12 OB. I'm a survivor of multiple "smashed finger" incidents (thanks dad!) but would love to be able to auto up/down all the windows. My car is parked outside, so I'd rather worry about smashing a finger than about the rear windows being open during a rainstorm.I doubt they do. Most automakers shy away from all but the drivers door b/c of liability issues (passengers w/ smashed fingers).
My 2007 Saab had auto up/down on all 4 windows, but it had a bump-stop feature that would stop the window on auto-up if it encountered resistance (ie a finger). This type of system is great, but probably too expensive for Subaru to offer.
Just don't push/pull the switch the whole way, there is a positive click that you have to push/pull past to get it move go automatically.Funny, I was thinking the opposite way. I would like to disable the one-touch feature on the driver's window, at least in the up direction. I find it to be a real PITA to try to get the driver's window to stop part way open at the height that I want it. Up/down/up/down..... tap a few times to adjust some more.... oops, held it too long, have to start over again.
Don't just make stuff up.I doubt they do. Most automakers shy away from all but the drivers door b/c of liability issues (passengers w/ smashed fingers).
This is exactly where I'm coming from. My 10 year old, $23k Jetta has auto up/down driver and passenger windows but my brand new, $32k Outback doesn't...Haven't heard of it being done, but would love to do it. One feature I miss most about my VW Golf, a little compact car that had more tech than my mid-size wagon. It had the pinch feature as well and more importantly you could turn the car off while the windows were going up (or down) and they'd continue to close/open all the way regardless of power (or closing them all via the key-fob when out of the car). All the little crap like that which I enjoyed with my Golf, now I feel "old school" having to hold up three switches to close the windows![]()
Ditto!. My '04 TDI has them...but in Canada the OB costs more....lolThis is exactly where I'm coming from. My 10 year old, $23k Jetta has auto up/down driver and passenger windows but my brand new, $32k Outback doesn't...
My most humble apologies. What I meant was: I think most automakers shy away from all but the drivers door b/c of liability issues. Unless, that is, we are we no longer allowed to share opinions here. This is the internet....you know....that thing that gives a voice to people who should not have one (myself included).Don't just make stuff up.![]()
You can get a Subaru switch blade key. There is a shell out there which will acept the "guts" of your current key.I used to have a Passat and of the few things that I liked better were the "switchblade" style key and the fact I had auto up/down driver and passenger windows and I could raise/lower all four windows with just using my key and not having to start the car up.
These would be nice changes for Subaru to consider!
i thought so to until i bought a '11 prius that ALL of the windows had auto up/down. i couldn't believe it.I doubt they do. Most automakers shy away from all but the drivers door b/c of liability issues (passengers w/ smashed fingers).

LOL, fair enough. :7:My most humble apologies. What I meant was: I think most automakers shy away from all but the drivers door b/c of liability issues.

OMG I must google this.You can get a Subaru switch blade key. There is a shell out there which will acept the "guts" of your current key.
