obd windows go down

hello i have a 99 acura and i was wondering if i could use the odb to control my windows (glass not os), what i was thinking if i push the remote to unlock my doors 5 times the windows would go down (if i push it once it un locks the driver door, if i push it twice it unlockes the pass. door,) and push it to lock 5 times it will roll up the windows. i know you can get an After market alarm with window mod but i want to keepo my FOB, so will this work?
thanks

I am new to all this OBDII stuff, but I am almost absolutely sure that your ECU will provide that type of information. It is really meant to report data from the engine, exhaust, etc. I don't believe its going to have the position data from the windows.

Try a search for "Relay Boards" on google for the hardware, then here for interfacing it.

The Body control module is usually the one that will control windows (for those equipped with this control type). It would not be available via the generic OBD2 mode. Only in enhanced with connection to the Body control module (not very common for non OEM scan tools).
