Good, I'm glad you like it.AnubisZed wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 10:18 am I'm a seconder for the Reinhold Engineering Comfort Module as I fitted it about three weeks ago, and it works a treat, in fact I couldn't recommend it enough.
Busterboo... As for why, well firstly you DON'T have to wait for anything as you can drive as soon as you want. Operation can be achieved up to 34mph (yes I know you can already program this, but not without having to press the button all the time!). Press, hold, wait for windows to start then let go and it carries on performing (either up or down).
Windows down when you park? No problem, get out, shut the door, press the lock button and your windows go up automatically.
It's like any "convenience" option, you can live without it but it's a nice to have option, especially when your wife gives it to you as a Birthday present

I've screenshot the page. As you can see 199 Euros, plus a little for postage.

This is something I’ve really ummed and arred about as it is £300, and the only option I’d want / use is the one touch operation within the car. I’m sure I’ll wventually pick one up but holding a button for 15 seconds ish really is a 1st world issue that doesn’t need a solution

I had the Reinhold on my SLK and it worked very well for the three years I owned the car.
I think there are a couple of extra features on the smart-top, but they were very minor.

I think I've got the Reinhold in my car, the previous owner must have put it in and not told anyone. I have one-touch in the car and the on the keyfob. You think it's not worth it but I use the remote one-touch ALL THE TIME. It's ace walking out the house and watching it all unfold, jump straight in and off you go

I wouldn’t be without my Smarttop module.
One touch is ideal when moving off and putting the roof up or down when the traffic lights change sooner than anticipated.

I agree.
You can code the car to allow roof operation up to 30mph without a smarttop/reinhold (like I have).
Unfortunately 'one touch' can't be coded.

Does the Reinhold unit also allow automatic folding of the mirrors or is that only on SmartTop?

The smart Top has some nice functions over just opening the top,
Folding mirrors on lock and unlock
All windows up on remote
And the button that works all four windows (big one) becomes one touch, with or with out ignition on

The Smarttop module is a very compact unit and appears well made with a good wiring loom. The connectors mate firmly and accurately with the BMW connectors.

I was having a look at the SmartTop module today as there was a guy selling one on here and most of the features can be programmed using Carly, which I've already done. The only ones I'd benefit from by getting a SmartTop are the one-touch open and close, remote open and close, and one-touch closing of all windows. I really don't understand why that's not something you can programme.

I thought the generally idea of not having one touch was to protect the top from damage should you accidentally get something trapped in it.
The range of my keyfob seems to be about 10 feet at most. Might as well be in car.
