Remote roof opening/closing

[peteslag]

I now have mental images of me pulling up at a garage, walking away from the car with the hood going up by itself and the car locking itself whilst a group of nearby hot young women watch and look at me in awe and admiration. Then all their clothes fall off, the end.

YES, I need this in my life.

In your dreams only, I'm afraid Pete. But still worth having, someone said even for getting into the car in a tight parking space!

Is there a kit like this for E89?

 

[t-tony]

I don't know of one for the E89 Eugene but if you Google Gap tech and contact them they might..

Another job ticked off the list this week. I fitted a Gap-Tech remote roof opening//closing control which allow remote operation of the soft-top from the ignition key and one-touch operation from the switches on the centre console. This is a big improvement from having to hold the key in the door lock until the roof had finished opening or closing or even holding the switch on the console for the same amount of time.

Really pleased with this addition, also more in the pipeline,.......... watch this space.

Tony.

ps. Gap-Tech do 3 versions of this kit,
1, One touch opening (3 wires for the interior buttons) £49.99
2. RCH - remote control Hood (4 wires, just for remote operation) was £89.99 now £79.99
3. RCH+ BOTH of the above combined (5 wires for the full fat system) was £119.99 now £89.99
I opted for the 3rd choice, may as well do the lot while you're in there.

All plus £4.99 P&P.

Missed this thread the first time round, luckily my car came with this installed, the previous owner did not know it was installed, only found it because I could not get used to the lock, unlock button (still can't). Great addition.

There are two types though Brian, one has remote plus one touch open/close with the buttons. That's much easier that having to hold the button.

You Z4 boys are a spoiled bunch...too much effort to hold a button down so you need one touch!
It's like notability for roadsters!!

I must have the RCH+, triple click to open and triple click to close.

If you have the RCH+ you can sit in the car and operate the button till the roof starts to move then take your finger off the button and it should continue to open/close

That sound right @billz
