Doesn't disable it but it will stop the travel.

 

Briefly press or pull the window
switch in the same direction to stop
that window’s express movement.

Haven't heard of any method to de-activate.

 

I guess I don't understand how a second switch activation when window reaches desired location is less or more effort than holding the switch til window reaches desired location and then releasing.

I think i understand why you are asking this question.  I also don't value this feature.  However, time and patience will make it less annoying.  As redwingr points out, it will stop in the position where and when you want with minimal effort.

Some people can't use their windows as they would like to with this feature. My Mother, for example. She doesn't have the quickest fingers in the world and likes to drive with the driver's window "cracked" (about 1/2 a centimeter open). The best she can manage in over a dozen attempts is about 2 inches of open window.

 

It would be nice if this stupid "accessory" could be disabled.

I haven't tried, but on our MDX there's 2 positions on the press of the button, barely pushing it is manual and fully depressing it is automatic. Took a while to get the feel but there is 2 separate "clicks".

My car is the same but there are lots of vehicles that only have one position for the switch. Which group do these trucks fail into?

My 14 has 4 positions on the driver window and the other windows have 3 positions. If you barely pull the button up it will go up and stop as soon as you let your finger off of the button, if you pull it up higher it will go into the second position which is auto up. Same for putting the windows down, if you barely push it down it will stop when you release your finger and if you press further it will put them down automatically.

Good to know, I won't be able to check my 2016 until 2PM today. So it's just like our other car.

Same as most upper level GM vehicle. Feature of present usually indicated by the letter "A" on the driver's a control button.

Passenger side doesnt have it so cant you just put a passenger side switch in the place of the driver switch?

Unless the control isnt done at the switch and happens at the module

Unless you are a computer programmer than can unlock and re-design the BCM software and produce a factory looking 2-way rocker switch with a 3D printer, there are no options to do this. 

 

Buy her an older truck with crank windows, or set the window once and pull the fuse but you will need to garage park for that one. I wonder if you can program a window setting in with the driver position selection, it controls seat, pedals and mirrors, why not windows? Not sure I have never set up a second driver setting in my truck.

I recommend spending more practice time with your mom rather than trying to defeat the advantages of this auto feature. I know about body parts slowing down but this can be mastered.  I also once found this feature problematic but now I don't give it a second thought.  I bet your mom is like me and misses the triangle vent windows on trucks and cars!  I remember being very disappointed when these disappeared!

      Auto start stop disable

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed the Auto stop eliminator on my 21 Sierra SLT shortly after I got it. They have a detailed video instruction on how, took me about 20-30 minutes to do. I was apprehensive too to start tearing apart a new truck but it was pretty easy install. Like you mentioned get some trim tools. I went to Harbor freight and picked up a set. If you can find some install videos/instructions to give you and idea for a plan of attack you should be fine.

      If all oil manufacturers had to meet a higher standard for not just the initial filtering of the oil but that they had to improve on their formulation so that the oil cleaned the engine such as the Valvoline R&P or the new Mobil product ( assuming it works similar of course ), and the oil was changed on an interval based on good UOA data, there shouldn't be any gremlins running around like miniture rats on top of your heads to be washed down into the oil pan below 😁

      A while back on another thread there were comments and thoughts on air filters and I know that can tend to be a bit of a hot topic because of outfits that have a vested interest in selling aftermarket air boxes fitted with the gauze type of oiled elements touting the lower air restriction. However and unfortunately I don't know where I have seen the test results in the past about the amount of dirt through a test procedure that these style of filters do pass more dirt through than a properly designed ( not some cheap Chinese knock off ) paper/synesthetic media filter can do. Lake Speed had a conversation on that topic with one of the employees at Donaldson and there seemed to be a consensus of these oiled filters falling short in the absolute percentage of dirt holdback.    Which all ties back into how good the air filter is on the engine at keeping dirt out as that is going to reflect as a contaminant introduced into the oil as well as cylinder wear even if some of that dirt does find its way out of the exhaust rather then the crank case. Put another way that one can throw the kitchen sink at filtering the oil and using a bypass system which I fully expect will do nothing but good for the oils contamination but if the air filter system isn't doing its job then its preventing the engine from reaching the best wear/lasting case scenario instead.    Now perhaps this topic is or isn't for this particular thread but Grumpy Bear or anyone else for that matter, do you have access to some scientific trust worthy testing on engine air filter types to get some proper comparison data to post up.
