Hi,

So when I hold the button back on the center console to put the top down, as soon as the top is fully down and hits the limit switch the windows start to roll up. Is this normal? Is this a programming feature that I can change to just stop the top and NOT roll the windows up after the top is down? As of right now, as soon as the windows start rolling up, I immediately release the top down switch and roll down the windows to complete the top down and windows down experience. Anyone else have the same issue?

Also I want to order the Smart Top for a one touch button to get the top down however I am concerned it will do the same thing, put the top down and roll the windows up and I will still have to roll the windows back down anyways. Anyone have any experience with the Smart Top who can educate me if this is how it works?

Thanks in advance.

Jon

 

Smart Top is what you want. You have the choice to have the windows go up or not when you open the top. Same thing for when you close the top.

 

Every time I use it, it has sadly become a game for me now to try and guess when to let go, fortunately in Florida it isn't down enough for me to mess with the smart top. Feel you frustration.

 

I did a google search but can't fine the manufacturer's website. Is there a place in the OC to install?

 

My front (but not back) windows do go up automatically, and I don't know if this can be programmed differently. This default setting works for me, since I usually prefer to have the windows up to get some wind control (I never use the wind screen for the back).

 

After 5 1/2 years I've gotten use to the window up game. No Smart Top for me, same reason as 2muchtime

its an easy DIY install..

very convenient to have the smartop.. a must have for cab owners, imho.

besides the top, it gives u better window control, audible beeps for alarm, and even can make the right mirror go downward when in reverse..

oh yeah, i can also open/close the top from outside with the remote (good for golf bags )

here's the product info:

• Comfort soft top control while driving: Within the factory-set speed limit the roof can be operated automatically with a short push of the open or close button. A feature that especially stick-shift drivers greatly appreciate.

• On the Euro-model 997 the smartTOP997 will raise all windows after the top has been closed with the extra soft-top button on the remote.

• Remote top control: Operation of top and windows with the original remote on all models (US and Euro) by holding down the power-locks button. A comfortable one-touch operation can be activated as well. No extra remote fob or reprogramming of the key or car is necessary!

• The “Lock-In” feature locks the doors once the car starts moving. In contrast to the original Porsche feature which can only be enabled or disabled at the dealership, this feature is user-programmable and even better, optionally the doors also unlock when the engine is switched off and the key removed.

• Home light XL: The Headlights can be activated for 30 seconds at any time by tapping the trunk button on the remote twice. Tapping the button twice again before the time runs out will switch the lights off immediately.

• Trunk button delay: Prevents accidental opening of the trunk. If activated, the trunk can only be opened by holding down the trunk button on the remote for 3 seconds.

• Chirp on lock/unlock: If activated, the alarm horn will give brief “chirp” signals when locking/unlocking the car.

• Comfort window control: All windows can be operated with no need to turn the ignition on. In the original condition, the windows are dead before the ignition is turned on and after it is turned off and a door is opened.

• Simplified window operation: The rear windows can be operated without the need to flip the rocker switch, simply by holding the window button after a front window was opened/closed. Holding a button in the 2nd position (one-touch) for 1 sec will automatically operate front and rear window simultaneously.

• User programmable: All features can be individually enabled or disabled. Some also allow different personal preferences to be set. All settings are retained even if the car battery is disconnected.

• Shop/Diagnose mode: If activated the smartTOP is completely passive, as if it was not installed at all. It becomes invisible to diagnostic tools

 

When I had my cab I had SmartTop and I liked it and I recommend it. On hot days, I could release the top without getting in the car so a lot of the heat would escape before I got in it. In Texas, that is a benefit.

My windows did the same as everyone else's.
