Roof sunshade automation

[BDF]

Has anyone managed to set up the sunshade on the sunroof to auto open and auto close when you start and stop the truck?

I like it open when running around, but closed for heat etc when parked.

Ideally, ignition on trigger full open, when ignition off full close.

Subscribed. It would be pretty cool.

Just something needed to execute the button push 2x each time

I would imagine that sort of thing would require some rewiring. It definitely would be a nice mod though.

Subscribing as well.

What drives me crazy is that the Explorer is a 1x button press to close both the glass and shade vs our truck u have to close each one by itself and the shade 2x button press. I know first world problems.

Would be cool to see what mods are created for this.

I don't think so.
It's all if/then statements.

Similar to how we programmed the mirrors to fold in when we lock the car.

Oooh! Tie it in to the mirrors!

That's the ticket

Just tint the sunroof and you don’t have to worry about the shade. I tinted my sunroof with 15% and can leave my metal sunglasses on my center console and they are barely warm in 100 degree heat. I never shut the shade.

I had the thermal tint put on my 18, helped, but I'm in tx

I had my sunroof tinted with 80% full ceramic and it really cut down the heat when parked outside in Texas. I leave my shade open over the driver all the time now.
