Are smart tops available for 2019 G29 versions?

Pretty sure the engine must be running also. And I think I read somewhere you need to be pretty close to the car, like under 6-10 feet?

Funny you should mention that,
I've just spotted a smarttop for the G29 on ebay

certainly not cheap.
Edit: bit cheaper here

Ouch that is not cheap, I would check the additional functionality that is gained from the module.
For the e89, it adds quite a bit such as folding mirrors / one touch roof operation / roof off the key fob and roof while on the move.
I purchased a used one for e89 at £140, may not be able to get that for a G29 as they are too new.

It’s also very important to be able to put the roof back up with the fob at a distance.
I have been caught out twice pre Smarttop days - the car was parked outside when the weather changed suddenly and the heavens opened !
Believe me, you like like a prize chump rushing out in a deluge putting the roof up . It’s surprising how long it takes ,,,,!
