Ian Cull Auto Up Window Module
Ian Cull Auto Up Window Module 
One of the most in demand features on a Generation 1 MINI is a one touch Auto Up window feature which never made it into production due to concerns with 'window pinch' or some other nonsense. They come stock on VW's and numerous other cars but for some reason MINI decided not to do it. But, the aftermarket has a great solution and while we used to sell a add on device made by a company called MCAW, they have gone out of business and over the years we had a few conversations with Ian Cull (who produced a similar product in small production runs) to try to resell his product. After taking everything into consideration it would not make sense for either parties financially but our friend Matt at FES auto and electrical engineer wizard (all around great guy AKA drobnoxious on nam) decided to take this product under his wing and produce them in larger volume.

So, here's what it does for those don't know what it can do:

The Ian Cull's Auto-Up circuit adds auto-up window, track-mode DSC defeat, and auto front fog-light control to the R50, R52 and R53 Mini Cooper.

Ian's “MINI circuit” solves the annoyance of having to hold the window toggle switch up to close windows in a MINI – especially troublesome with a manual transmission when pulling away from a toll booth in wet weather!

Once the auto-up feature has been enabled, it can be activated by a quick double click up of the appropriate window toggle switch.

The "Track Mode DSC" will turn the DSC off shortly after starting the car. This is very usefull for those that race, AutoX or participate in HPDEs.

The "Auto Front Fogs" turns the front fog lights on whenever the headlights are turned on. Great for those that like lots of light!

All of the functions can be enabled or disabled via the toggle switch panel.

Auto-Up Windows
Once the auto-up feature has been enabled, it can be activated by a quick double click up of the appropriate window toggle switch. If you click the toggle switch down while the auto-up is active, the circuit will immediately cancel its signal and window movement will stop; a second click down will be needed to open the window again.

Track-Mode DSC
The Mini dynamic stabillity control is what's known as a "slow" system, cutting power when driving agressively on the track. When enabled, this feature turns off the DSC system a few seconds after starting the car. No more heading out onto the track and feeling that loss of power to remind you that you didn't turn the system off.

Auto Front Foglights
When this feature is enabled, the front fog lights will turn on whenever the headlights are turned on. The toggle will still work as normal, so if you want to turn them off (when there's lots of traffic around, for example) you still can. Like all features in this module, it is programmed via the toggle panel.

Toggle Switch Programming
No dip switches here! The circuit is put into "program mode" by holding the lock toggle for 5 seconds. You can change the settings as needed in moments. Leaving the track at the end of a day? Just turn off the "track mode DSC" and have the safety benefits of dynamic stabillity control on the street. Driving in city traffic for a few days? Turn of AFF in moments. Once the circuit is installed, you never need to turn a screwdriver to change settings at all.
