My fathers '98 durango has the drivers auto down so you should have no
problem. I'm pretty sure it's wired into the switch. My wife's vw beetle has
the auto up and down as well and it works on the passengers window also. But
only from the drivers control. One cool feature in my wifes car that i wish
american auto makers would look at is that you physically cannot lock the key
in the car. First if you have seen the new vw key fobs you would notice that
the fob and key are one unit (no keyring). Second you cannot lock the car
from the drivers side door. There is a door lock and unlock swith but it only
works if you are in the car. The best part is as long as the door fob is in
the car anywhere (doesn't have to be in the ignition) the car will not lock.
It will honk and leave the interior lights on but just won't lock. The
keyless entry system scans the car when you get out of it and try to lock the
door. If it finds a key fob signal from inside the vehicle it will not lock.
This includes trying to lock the car with the second key fob. Tried it every
way I could and it's not possible. I have to admit that is a good idea. This
is from experience of locking my keys in the car during pouring rain and
having to slim jim it while getting soaked.
