Definitely cheaper than a battery replacement, especially with the added bonus of no electrician fees for parts or labour

Certainly is cheaper than a battery and can be used for the other vehicles plus garden equipment

Did you sort it? I recently installed Smarttop, the setting for remote is: I'm not sure the 3 seconds is accurate, but that setting works. It does surprise passers by naturallyOle gits rule wrote: ↑Sat Jan 16, 2021 6:59 pm Smart Top now fitted, wing mirrors now closing on the key, which is really good
One touch roof operation functioning off the internal buttons
The key fob function is not working so will be hooking up the laptop tomorrow to check that out - quick question, if the battery is struggling will this stop the roof woking off the key?
Cheers

It is an odd one.. doesn't happen every time so im wondering if im setting off some kind of panic system by holding the button too long. I think some kind of panic alert can be coded in and I've wondered if ive triggered that as the alarm shouldn't be live at that point i thinkSmartbear wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 12:29 pmNot had that myself.mr.tourette wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 12:28 pm Does anyone sometimes get the alarm going off when putting the roof up on the remote with this..

I was looking at this and my Firmware is v1.00
I’m contemplating updating but I’m wondering what I will get out of the deal other than potential grief!
I’ve currently got 10 functions 8, 9 10 unused.

I looked at that and have downloaded the jpg file from the manufacture and will compare the features carefully tomorrow. At a quick on screen glance there is nothing on the update that I find exciting over my v1.00Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 11:38 pmRon, I’ve got 15 functions on mine on a higher version see my post at the top of page 4
Mine is all working ticketyboo so I’m a little bit reluctant to mend something that isn’t broken.

Checked mine and I have the mirrors and one touch working, the roof will not open on the remote and come up with increased battery discharge warning.
Think this is a poor battery - going to put it on a trickle charge tomorrow for the weekend and see what happens but think it may be a new battery

The roof works on one touch with the engine running - will try the remote with the engine running later
