Power window switches

I love the "auto up/down" feature of my driver side window in my 2013 expy el. However, I wish my other windows had the same feature like in my passat tdi. Do you think it is something as simple as changing out the switches in the door panel?

I thought I would do that in my '00 F250 a hundred years ago but the switch was an assembly. i.e. not separate switches that you could simply unplug a donor passenger side switch and install a new driver side switch to make it work.

Now, I don't know for sure on the Expy but I would guess it is similar. I mean, what sense would it make to pay an extra $0.13 per switch to give a customer something they really want. I know I would love that.

First link only has control modules for Mustang's windows. No trucks or suvs that I saw.
Second link I don't think so, it says it's wired into your car alarm and if alarm goes off, rolls the window(s) up

The auto up/down control is built into the window motor. This is a safety feature. It detects when there's an obstacle in the path of the glass (probably by sensing the current draw of the motor).

The driver's switch is also wired differently to control this feature.

In theory, you could install a driver's window motor on the passenger side and wire in a driver's window switch (in place of the existing switch) to operate it.

The 2009+ switches are modular. Even though the driver's setup has four switches, I do believe each is a separate unit that snaps into the assembly.

BTW, Navigators have this feature for both front windows. Expeditions have it on the driver's side only.
