Is anything new about automatically folding mirrors and rising windows after locking car from remote?
I think that it would be GRATE if we could configure our cars that way...
Many BMW-s and Mercedes-es have it...

And one more thing please...
Can I configure my 159 so that it lights up front fog lights every time I unlock it from remote?

However, the data from your car is the same as the data from my car (and my windows go up/down automatically and the trap sensors show correct readings)... so, the problem is not in the configuration.
I haven't checked the exact wiring diagram, but is it possible that the connections are cut/terminated inside the control unit?
We've seen this kind of trick in Grande Punto - the cruise control lines are disconnected inside the body computer.

It is really strange that your door control module doesn't show readings for the trap sensors.
Has anyone checked if the trap sensors are cut/left out in the door control units?
I have no car here which has this problem...
so just for interest.

I've just checked my 159 and have anti trap voltages at every window except the drivers one!

Any news for this?

Also, my car 159 TI 2008, reads the voltage across 3 sensors, but the driver's door one.

And the anti-trap function works on all windows except driver's one.

Do I have to take apart the door's cover, get out the control unit, open it up and check the traces on the PCB, but can anyone point where on the PCB is the anti-trap sensor's place?

There is no sensor in window gasket. You need to have the old one gasket from 2007. See attached photo - in red circle there is connector. But even with this it doesn't work. There is something in BC or in wiring that need to be fixed.

I know I am about to resurect a dead topic, but did anyone got any result with this?
I've got a pair of foldable mirrors with ECUs for left and right hand doors.
Mine is an 159 TI from 2008, and I am looking forward to obtain the folding mirrors feature and the windows closure from key feature.
If possible, I would like to enable also the passenger side mirror tilt when in reverse, and I know this feature is only available on electrical
seats setup, but I was wondering if would be possible to somehow trick the ECU that is responsible for this feature.

Not even with 2006 front doors ecu's+ driver's door gasket with pinch sensor+ proxy alignment done and still, the windows don't close.
What the helllllllll?!?!!?!!!!!!

I’ve also tried to replace the drivers door ecu and added the pinch sensor and still nothing. I even got the readings in MES and the window went back when it felt an obstacle.

The only next difference is the body computer itself.

I still beleive that there is a trick to enable this, because everything closes (even the sunroof), when i manually insert the key inside a door lock and hold it to lock direction. Only the remote function is disabled, and I cant beleive they did this.
