Any group buy on Smart Top E89

[Stark]

Finally decided to get one....coming in at just over £300 each....has anyone looked at a group buy? If not is anyone else interested in one, so we can see how much we can get it for?

I'd be interested in a group buy.

Ok I'll email them tomorrow and get some numbers down. I'm on holiday at the moment and not munch else to do, so will see what comes back

I had a go at this about 2 years ago. I hope you have more luck with it than I did

Just spoken with my service guy at my local dealer and he said they may be able to code all of the bits in, depends on the software version installed in the car apparently. He said to just bring it in and they will plug it in to see if it can be done and if it can, it will just be £50 to reprogram it. The main thing i'm after is being able to close the roof and fold the mirrors.

Might be worth trying out a dealer first, £50 is a lot better than £300 and it won't void any warrantees etc

My dealer tried very hard to do this last year! All I wanted was to close the roof from the fob but the software installed after the anti theft upgrade has securely locked out this feature.

I have used a firm in Reading and they said it can't be done. They turned by DVD player on to work whilst driving....but that's all they could do.

Before anyone blasts me, no I don't watch telly whilst driving!

[mattstav]

ah that's a shame. I'll go down there anyway and see if they can do anything. He said they get a load of 3 series convertibles come in with the same request, did they not get the same security update?

Whilst driving you need sub titles which would be very hard to read

[Stark]

Because I watch Bollywood movies? You're right!

[pvr]

No - because you can't hear the voices with the roof down

Not sure if a blue movie would go down very well in a traffic jam with the roof down
