Smart Top

installed the Smart Top module the other day.
literally took about 5 minutes.
don't have to be right next to car and hold button to put top down; once in range, just hold unlock 3 sec and top goes down.
same for top up; just hold lock 3 sec.
can operate top at higher speed than the 9 mph allowed from factory.

Very cool but I'd be worried about it going off in my pocket.

You might also have concerns about accidentally triggering the retracting top from the remote when you don't intend - no worries as you have the same press-and-hold for 5 seconds plus you can configure it.

it's an absolute must for anyone with a vert. I cannot believe I ever went a year without it. Had it for 3 verts now.

Can you not do the same thing with coding?

The issue is most of my cars have the window roll down function with the remote and more than once I've come out in the morning with the windows down

Not that I've ever heard of, plus this thing is updatable and transfers between cars

At what speed are planning to operate the roof? Everything else sounds good but not so sure about that part.

I programmed the highest allowed, 25 mph, but I'll probably not do it above 20. Sometimes I'll want to put the top up at a stoplight as I get close to my destination; this allow it to start sooner.

I never operate the top while the car is moving. My concern is having to do a quick maneuver or going through a pot hole... I imagine that can throw the roof alignment off and possibly break something. There's not much tolerance between the metal and glass panels when they fold, and I always imagine it breaking this way. Just me though. I really don't see the value in this
