I can make vert open through remote but not close

From what I know you can get it to close as long as you have some sensors inside the car(for motion detection I think). This means you cannot close the convertiable while someone is in it and take their head off... so I heard. :rolleyes:

depends which way you wanna go, if you have a clifford alarm or plan on getting one then you can do both open and close.

Hi Pete

I bought an eopen module a couple of years ago from stu who organised a group buy but never got round to fitting it. You need to splice in a few more wires than the fleabay one and it cost a lot more.

Do a search on e46fanatics or take a look at link below. I can't seem to find the company on web so not sure whether they're still in business.

There is also a similar gizmo which not not only allows you to remotely open/ close roof but uses the rain sensor to close the roof and windows if you've left the roof down...mega pose value. :D
