How I enabled the Global open & close feature on my Ford Ecosport

The best part of my installation is that I have never added additional wiring and made use of existing wiring and managed with local remapping.

Hello everyone. I'm glad to post another modification detail of my Ecosport 2021. I hope you've seen my post on the most advanced modifications ever done on an Ecosport.
This post relates to one particular feature addition available only in ST line variants and in very few countries. It's ok and mostly used every day,
So here it is. It's the Global close and Open feature or in usual terms, the automatic window closure feature. Also, it adds one touch power window for all 4 doors with anti pinch function as well.
So in this thread I will try to give some details and the working video of this feature.
Basically, the global close and open feature is nothing but when you lock the vehicle, and if you forget to raise some of the window glasses, then you can close them by pressing and holding the lock button in the key for at least 3 seconds. Similarly, for global close we need to long press the unlock button to roll down all the windows without powering the vehicle.
As the Indian Ecosport doesn't have this feature from factory, I have decided to retrofit this feature by importing necessary parts and by making my own custom wiring as usual.
There's an aftermarket kit available, but it's just enables global close and nowhere near to OEM integration as it doesn't support anti-pinch function. More over I never go for aftermarket parts unless they are really supporting the OEM integration.

Requirements :
1.3 door motors
2. Two door modules for the floor switches
4. Connectors associated with each additional module added
5. Programming
6. Custom wiring harness
