Sooo do I have auto up or not?

Hi Guys, Happy new year to everyone!!!
I have an 05 MCS since October and love it even with the few problems that come and go, so far I have a passanger air bag light that comes and goes whenever I move the passanger seat stays for a while and then it goes for a while, I can live with that, Also i got rid of my run flats they were driving me crazy!!! got the Conti DSW from tire rack (Thanks Alex) and WOW need I say more?
Now about the windows, I recently had my Driver's side window making some strange noises after closing the door the stop working, the I googled the problem and GOD bless to whoever came up with a wack to the door while holding the botton down I couldn't stop laughing.
I discovered that i have auto up driver side window but not on my passanger's side, is this the way it is? the car is stock and the previous owner seem to be a dealer only service so I don't think that I have the Ian C. circuit but I could be wrong. Thanks in advance for any imput

Auto up windows are either the Ian C wiring mod or you have it toggled on in the programming, either by the dealer or by someone with a cable, the software, and the knowhow. IIRC the programming is per window.

Can't help with the window issue. I have the same tires though, and I have to agree they are pretty nice. Haven't had a chance for the "W" part yet. I am sure someone will be able to chime in.

Ahhh the programming sounds about right, i had a young man program my Alarm and the remote window and operation as well as the DRL, he also activated my front and rear fog lights since I to;d him that i was going to retrofit this two items and I would need him to come back and program those for me, he did it all for $60.00 bucks... great kid
When I got the car i was sure that I did not have the auto up so I guess and was hoping to get the Ian C's circuit. this kid saved me some money, great. Thanks for the quick response

The DWS tires are great I do use them. I guess I should of responded to that. They do need a few hundred miles to go thru heat cycles for them to really stiffen up. I have been using them for 2 years. On my second set. Here in the NE they have been pretty dam good in the snow too.

Thanks Braminator, On the auto up, mine works with one click I guess they just added that to the Ian's circuit? I see that it used to be a 2 click operation, My guess is that i just have the drivers side from the factoy!!
He did activate the close with the remote thing that includes the windows and sunroof but if i want to open them i have to put the key in the door not with the remote, he told me that some cars did it but it seems that mine does not.
on the tires i only have about a week with them and about 200 miles, they do need a brake in period but so far i love how quiet they are now i don't feel the need to chage my shocks haha... I have to say day and night for sure

by the way do you recommend 35Lb or 33 or 34 is fine on the DSW? I know that the sticker says 35 but since the runflats are the factory specs I wonder if it should be the same. Thanks

I have always run 35psi in mine and have been very happy.

I do have the 1 touch up on both windows. I also can open the sunroof and windows via remote by holding the unlock button for a few seconds. It was programmed by the dealer.
