This is a group buy thread for a smart top controller for all the 996 Cabs and Coupes. This neat little module gets installed in place of your factory top controller and allows you control your top with your key fob and among other things and for the 997 Coupes, its most popular function is delay on the trunk release button. Email me @ mkrisel@gmpperformance if you want to order. Please include your First Last name, shipping address and phone number and the year make and model of your car. I have posted this in some other forums too, so 20 units shouldn't be hard to reach. If we hit 30 I may run another discount but we will cross the bridge when we get to it. Every order I get I will update the post with how many we have total from all forums together. They also have them available for all Porsche 911 Cabs and Coupes, Boxster, Cayman, Ferrari Cabs, BMW Cabs, and Mercedes Benz Cabs.

remoteTOP 996 offers plenty of customizable, useful features, in one easy to install product.

This unique comfort controller can be installed by anyone with the help of our detailed installation manual. Installation requires little electronic skills and is done without cutting wires or soldering! The module comes with all wires and parts needed.
No need for extra key fobs. Everything is done with the original key remote

Unique design features only to be found in our product:

• Ultra-low power standby mode.
• Universal compatibility to these cars in ONE module:
  • 996 Carrera Cabriolet
  • 996 Carrera Targa
  • 996 Carrera Coupe
  • 986 Boxster

Product features:

• Operate the soft-top and windows with your original factory-supplied remote-key, no reprogramming of the key or the car necessary. Selectable One-Touch operation which will, once started, complete the soft-top cycle automatically by itself.
  
  
• Operate the sunroof (coupe) and windows with your original factory-supplied remote-key, no reprogramming of the key or the car necessary. Selectable One-Touch operation which will, once started, complete the cycle automatically by itself.
  
  
• Selectable "Lock-In" feature locks the doors once you start the vehicle or start moving. In contrast to the original Porsche Lock-In feature which can only be enabled or disabled at the dealership, the remoteTOP lets you decide if you want that feature, and even better, if you have it enabled, the remoteTOP will also UNLOCK the doors when you switch the engine off. A detail the Porsche engineers seemingly forgot.
  
  
• Selectable "Always-Arm" Mode, which will enable the passenger cabin ultra-sound motion detector alarm when the top is OPEN.
  
  
• Comfort window control allows you to use the electric windows after you turn the ignition off. Also enables window control after you unlocked your car with the remote controller. This allows you to walk up to your car, unlock it, sit inside and IMMEDIATELY use the power-windows, no need to put the key into ignition first.
  
  
• Bonus Feature: Audible feedback ("chirps") using the alarm horn when locking/unlocking the car by remote. (For technical reasons this feature is not guaranteed to work on all models / model years).
  
  
• 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.
  
  

Compatibility with smartTOP (Boxster and 996 Convertibles): The remoteTOP is a completely new and different product, is installed in a different location and offers different, additional comfort functions for an easier every-day life with your Porsche.

Boxster note: On Boxsters (non S series) the alarm and keyless entry system is not installed on all models. For the remoteTOP controller to work, keyless entry and alarm system (M534 for Europe, M535 for US models) must be present. The remoteTOP product does *not* resemble a key or remote fob, it is a computerized control unit that connects to the original alarm and keyless entry system to expand existing features and add new ones.

** 2004 models note: If you want maximum comfort and functionality, please consider to also install a smartTOP, to re-enable closing of all windows which was factory disabled by Porsche on that model.

 

how much for shipping to japan?

 

Matthew, you might know the answer to this. I have a smart top left over from my 01 Boxster S. Will it work on my 04 TT Cab?
Thanks

 

looks good
good luck Matt

What's the install like?

 

Our tech does them depeding on the car ranges from 1hr to 2hrs. The porsches are generally closer to 1hr

 

Didn't you had this group buy on Rennlist not too long ago? I missed that one. Also, the last group buy on Rennlist the head count was lower.

 

Yes at the current time we weren't a sponsor on this site so we are running it again. We didn't reach our goal last time because several people backed out when the group buy was closed. If you want to participate in this one feel free just email me your first last name phone address and year make and model.

 

wish you the best on that : >
