MG4 Automatic window closer

[micknomates]

A few automatic window closers on Ali Express. They apparently connect to the OBD port and is controlled with the key fob. Anyone fitted one and would be grateful for any feedback.

I don't have the manual at hand, but isn't there already a function to close the windows using the key fob?
Or am I misrembering this from my previous car?

The only ones I have so far seen all plug into the OBD port to get the status of the car, and then also need to be connected to other areas of the car's wiring so that they can cause the windows to close.

If you have found one that only needs to be plugged into the OBD port can you post a link as such a solution will be far more installer-friendly.

No, there isn't a window opening/closing function on the key fob, the feature isn't available on the MG4.

That does look good, but is it really that simple, and literally fitted in minutes.

There was a guy on Facebook or youtube a couple of years ago selling software and a dongle that plugged into the OBD2 port to program global window closing into the car, no need to keep the dongle plugged in after. ISTR thinking it was too expensive at the time.

All versions have have 1 touch open/close for the drivers door from the switch. The Trophy, Trophy extended range and presumably the Xpower have 1 touch up/down for all windows from the switches
