Since having the MC-650 battery replaced under warranty have the updated MC BXT-65-850 for three years now and has served me quite well considering the SHO has been my DD!!
The Motorcraft BXT-65-750 is another worthy contender since primarily offered on the PI platform with all its gadgets to protect and serve should be considered!  Z

I think daily drivers are easier on batteries than cars that are only driven a few days a month.  Over the years, I've replaced very few batteries in vehicles that I drive on a consistent basis.

That all depends on the driving characteristics! 
I tend to drive my SHO everyday locally with frequent key on/off short trip intervals per day which can ultimately take a toll on the Battery IMO!  Z

And I do just the opposite with my daily drivers.
 
So, had no idea about the key fob window/moonroof thing and I just went and tried...no joy.  I even tried it after doing a remote start...still no dice.  When through the Synch config, never saw it in there either.

What am I missing?

Stock wheels ? TPMS active!  Z

Actually, not stock wheels but they do have TPMS sensors in them.  What does that have to do with key fob window function?

If the TPMS are not functioning correctly it can cause intermittent issues with the remote features...did it ever work before?  Z

Well, s***...maybe when they switched my winter tires in without activating TPMS again.  I'll have to try that tomorrow.

Mine did it to me without the TPMS sensors in my winter tires working (I'm the OP).  I've inadvertently opened the windows and sunroof twice now.

short of letting air out of my tire to test, how can i tell if my tpms sensors are working or not?

If you find a quiet enough place to do it (which seems to be the hardest part) you can turn on the ignition and run to one of the tires.  Get down on your hands and knees and put your ear right on the tire in the location of the TPMS.  You only have 3 seconds so you have to be pretty quick about it.  You MIGHT have to turn the ignition on while you're on your hands and knees and then crawl to the tire if you're not quick on your feet.  You'll hear short buzzes, followed by a steady buzz and then silence if they're working and short buzzes and then silence if they are not working.  You never hear the steady buzz if they're not connecting.

When you get done with the diagnosis give me a call and I'll swing by to take you snipe hunting.

I got a warning message on mine.

IIRC I used Torque to figure out the location.

When I bought winter wheels I thought I might have issues since they came off a different brand car but all I had to do was swap the wheels and it worked without issue.

 
I should get a dashboard idiot light if it doesn't connect to the tires right?  So, without that, and knowing the first time I put them on they were configured, why doesn't my damn key fob work?!

FWIW, My dashlight stays off for 30+ miles every morning before it comes on and I know for a fact that the TPMS sensors I have on my winter tires/rims are wrong for my car.  The steelie rims are off a '16? Ford Explorer Police Interceptor that I thought would be a direct match for my car but they are not.  I can't remember what year but they changed them. My summer tires with working TPMS sensors are in the same garage that I park my vehicle in so that may be why the idiot light on the dash stays off for so long.  It doesn't stay off that long on my commute home.  I'm assuming the summer tires in the corner of my garage lose connection with my car as I'm backing away from my closing garage door so you'd think the idiot light would come on by the time I'm at the end of my driveway every morning.
 
Well, I never get the idiot like, which tells me my TPMS are working, but for some reason the key fob Windows down/moonroof open; does not.

That's all.  I'm not super pressed but I'd like all the stuff on the car to actually work.
