Windows Global Close Retrofit for USA Vehicles
Enable the global close function on your USA-market Land Rover or Jaguar—verified against your VIN, applied through JLR-approved diagnostic pathways, and validated with a full travel test.
Close Every Window From the Key Fob
Global close lets you raise every door window and the panoramic sunroof from outside the vehicle. You hold the lock button on the key fob for a moment, and each window travels to its fully closed position in sequence. You then walk away knowing the cabin sits sealed against rain, dust, and heat. The function works alongside the global open feature that many owners already use to vent the cabin before setting off.
USA-market JLR vehicles typically leave the factory with global close switched off in the vehicle configuration. Manufacturers disable the function for that market because federal power window regulations impose specific conditions on remote closure. The Body Control Module, the door modules, and the sunroof module all carry the required capability. The feature simply stays dormant in the Car Configuration File. This service enables it.
Why USA Vehicles Ship Without It
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 118 governs power-operated window systems. The regulation places strict conditions on any closure that happens without an occupant seated inside the vehicle. Manufacturers therefore ship US-market vehicles with the remote closure parameter disabled, while European and other markets receive it enabled as standard. Your vehicle arrived with the same hardware as its European counterpart. Only the configuration differs, and configuration is exactly what we change.
We retain every safety interlock throughout the process. Anti-pinch current sensing remains active on every window. Obstruction detection continues to reverse the window immediately when it meets resistance. The sunroof keeps its own force-limiting behaviour. You gain the convenience, and you keep every protection that JLR engineered into the system.
Key Features
- Key fob activation raises every window and the sunroof through a single long press on the lock button.
- Sequential operation closes each window in turn for a smooth, controlled result.
- Sunroof integration includes the panoramic roof where your vehicle carries one.
- Anti-pinch retention keeps current-sensing obstruction detection fully active on every window.
- Global open compatibility works alongside your existing remote opening function.
- Genuine CCF amendment applies the change through JLR-approved diagnostic pathways.
- VIN-based verification confirms your vehicle’s build specification before any change.
- Documented before-and-after values give you a written record for your vehicle file.
- Full travel validation tests every window and the sunroof through a complete cycle.
- Reversible configuration allows restoration of the original setting on request.

Process & System Integrity
Our authorised technicians follow a meticulous, vehicle-specific procedure. They confirm your build record, read the existing configuration, and verify that every window regulator and the sunroof module report correct anti-pinch function. They then apply the amendment through genuine JLR diagnostic equipment and run a complete travel test on each output. During the test, they introduce a deliberate obstruction to confirm reversal behaviour. This approach preserves the integrity of your vehicle’s original engineering while enabling the convenience function you want.
Every configuration change meets original equipment standards for data integrity and traceability. We test each amendment against the relevant platform before completion, which guarantees a clean result and consistent operation.
We recommend that customers supervise the vehicle throughout any remote closure and confirm that no person, pet, or object sits within the window or sunroof aperture. The function works best when you keep the vehicle in clear view.
Transform Your Daily Convenience
