This is the first time I have posted on this forum but I have been reading it since I bought my 1st Prado ealry this year.
I have modified the wiring so that the power windows will work when the ignition is off. The channel changer from our place objects to not being able to open the window when we stop for fuel etc.
The modification is easy. Remove the button control on the drivers door. Peel back the black insulation on the wiring for about 10 cm . Identify the white wire and the black/white wire. they are one above the other as they enter the plug. Cut the white wire about 4cm from the plug. Using a splicing connector connect the plug side white wire to the black white wire.
Fold the loom side white wire back in the form
Tape up the wires and restore the switch panel.
What this does is pick up the permanently hot wire that operates the central locking mechanism and provide it to the windows regardless as to the ignition being on or off.
