Roof issue (not the usual) calling No.5 FIXED!!!

The Smart Top STLFBW7 looks a much better design. Just plug and play, but it's much more expensive.

I shorted the parcel shelf microswitch to see if that was the problem. No joy.

Then I removed the Gaptech - fixed :) . But now no easy opening/closing :(
I'll see if I can live without a Gaptech, otherwise I suppose it's full price for another.

I think the Gaptech was constantly giving the roof a signal to open i.e the " 'Offnen' permanent auf GND", in the error message above.
Rob you are welcome to come over and I’ll use Carly to code opening to the key?

Thanks for the offer Stuart. :thumbsup: I've coded it already with NCS Expert.

It's just more of a faff opening/closing without the gaptech as you have to keep pressing the keyfob button till it finishes. (Or is there a one-press option that I've missed ?)
