Default I did the cheesy 1-touch up rear window mod this weekend and found it really doesn't work very well.

It's an easy mod, but here's what happened on my A4:

-rear's go down as 1-touch at each window and the driver's panel and you can press the button again to have the window stop where you want it.

-rear's go up as 1-touch at each window and the driver's panel, but you can't stop the window on the way up. -- I don't like this feature.

-pinch protections still functions.

(here's the odd thing)
-the right rear button on the door and the driver's panel for the 1-touch up function works both rear windows. up only. not down. anyone know why? --again, I don't like this feature, well, my passengers won't and I'll hear about it.

I did the figure-8 of copper wire around #5 & #7 pins on both window regulators, which they're are in different locations between the regulators on my A4, which I found odd.

So, if this is the norm for this mod, then I'll be removing it. oh well, what do you expect for a cheesy mod you can do with about $0.10 of copper wire and 30 minutes?

Default I just checked mine again and it doesn't do any of the things you describe.

Everything works well. The windows stop with a second press and operate independently. Perhaps the '01.5 had a change in wiring. A look in bentley might help but a little trial and error on your part would probably turn up an answer that could be helpful to other people in the same situation.

Default what MY is your A4? I'll check again tonight, namely, the right side, but I'm fairly sure I

connected #5 & #7 on each side. It was quite obvious which wire on the harness isn't hooked-up, which I assume is the 1-touch up feature. Now, which one it's supposed to be connected to, I have no idea -- I was only going by the instructions. So, maybe you're right, I'll do the T&E and see what other funky window features I can do :-)
