    Window close and open feature with the key is only available on 2004, and 2005 cars. In 2006 they removed the closing feature due to child safety.

      Yes, but I've read on some forums it's actually possible to get that option back on both 147 and GT Alfa's, but it takes some skills to get the right program into the computer. Won't be trying that myself :D

    Thanks for posting this. My Alfa Spider's windows would not close fully, after recharging a flat battery. I followed these instructions, and now windows close properly. You have to wonder why Alfa don't put these instructions in the hand book!

    Is not a big problem to make close windows via key avilable in lift models after 2006. You need to connect pins 2 with 3 and 7 with 8 in drivers door module by 1 Kohm resisstors, then connect PC with MES and there in "Body" just turn on this option and do proxy alignment procedure. That's all.

      ​@@arcgarage hello! I have the kilometers indication blinking in my GT 3.2 V6; it started after winter, the battery was empty so i removed it to reload it (as I did other times in the past) and then put it back and reconnected it. When I started the engine, I noticed that the kilometers are blinking. It never happened before. And I haven't changed anything.
      Do you know how to fix this issue?
      Many thanks and regards.

    On the matter of the windows, I would like to ask you, please: the one mine on the driver's side (left side, as your gt) window, when activated, automatically goes up to the top of the whole and then descends alone to a quarter of the total. I can only close it, uploading it with small touches, until it gets up. Nor now, it opens that little when you open the car (and closes when you close the door) or lower the window when you press the opening, as before. You have an idea of what I can do to get it back to normal (the trick you mentioned in the video, it didn't work for me). As always, thank you so much for your videos and for being there.
