RE: re one-touch up power windows

[Anand Dhanda <dhandas@cwixmail.com>]

well my dads A4 has the auto up on the fronts and on all of the windows if
it detects something in its path it goes back down.. this includes the
sunroof... when we bought the car the dealer stuck his head out the front
window and shut the window on his neck.. when the window touched his neck it
auto matically went down... thus no one gets choked!

It actually happened to someone.  I think it was a Honda Prelude,
and the parent was away from the car.  The child was standing on
the center console, though the sunroof either waving or watching
the parent.  The switches for the sunroof were on the center
console, and the window closed, choking the child to death.

I believe this was on the news locally in AZ, but it's the type of
story that would get picked up nationally.  I didn't get it from the
'net!

So, I think it's a nice feature to have on an Audi (MAC).
