Default 09 DX power window question

Sorry for the Newb question, but I just bought the wife an 09 DX this past weekend and am wondering if the car comes wired for power locks. With the armrests just having blanking plates where the switch should be, are the wiring provisions there and just no switches, or is there no module for power locks?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Dickiefl

I don't know, either, but, in 5 years, you won't have windows that don't roll up/down or will seem to operate slowwww.
Honda/Acura window motors and automatic transmissions are not very Honda-like, when it comes to performance/realialibity.

Just my 2-cents, from my 84 CRX, 92 LX, 03 Hybrid, 03 EXv6, 06 EX, 08 SI, 00 LS, 01 R

Both of my Accords still have (had) the original window regulators and motors in them. My 94 has 210+k on it and all of the windows still go up and down fine. The driver's window in my '91 with 196+k was slightly slower but still got the job done. When I sold it the '91's AT still shifted as smooth as the day I got it, and I beat the **** out of that car.

Thanks for the replies fellas. I had a 98 civic that I got rid of almost 2 years ago with 198K. You never really know with these new cars whether the provisions are there and they just leave out the essentials or not. I was hoping to get lucky, but I guess not.

Can anyone reccomend an aftermarket kit/setup?

I'm not sure about the DX. Do you have a power lock button on your key? Or is it just a key? If it is just a key, I'm afraid you may have no power locks.

I'm sure you could have them install power locks at the dealership, but it may cost a penny or two.

you should've just bought an lx to begin with, instead of getting a dx and wasting a bunch of money to get the lx features in it.
