    Anyone with the "Top Commander module, do you like it? Seems like the thing to get. Also, does it play well with the "Ian Cull auto up module? Thanks.

    Once you have the Top Commander you don't need the Ian Cull auto up. Top Commander does that as well, and I use that feature way more then the top down feature.

    So it also rolls the windows up by pushing the button up on the roof with a one touch? Does it work with the individual toggles on the center console? Thing is, I also like the fog light auto on and the DSC defeat with the auto up module. Not so much the DSC defeat on her car though. Just wondering if both modules work work together.

    Yeah, tap roof button and they all go down as they didn't from the factory, and now tap the up button and they all go up as they should have from the factory. Can't vouch for your other stuff as I don't have them.

    I have it. I liked it when it worked. Mine is a bit flakey. The window up/down works great, use it all the time. Top up works ok - the windows come up with it. It is the top down that has issues. Mine will open part way and stop 2-3 times after the sunroof stop, have to double tap the button each time to get it all the way down. I have had mine awhile - Maybe they are better now.

    Or just it down at that point. The 1st Gen Commanders had this problem, mainly with heat. Probably works fine in the winter time!! Haha... They made some changes to fix that at some point supposedly...
