This is a group buy thread for a smart top controller for all the 997 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.

smartTOP 997 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 parts needed as well as a printed instruction manual with color pictures.
No need for extra key fobs. Everything is done with the original key remote.


Product Features:

• 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.

 

I had a smart top unit on my 997S cabrio. It worked great until a catastrophic failure a week after installation. Luckily, no damage to the car's wiring & it didn't rain until the top was raised manually & later reset at the dealer. Lost 4 days of use of the car. Wilhelmy-it had absolutely ZERO concern about the failure and was less than helpful in refunding the purchase price. I was out-of -pocket for two way shipping, installation and removal. I did not even receive the simple courtesy of an apology for total failure of their product. Do business with Wilhelmy-it only at your own risk. If the unit fails and damages your car, you may not be covered by warranty and it is improbable that Wilhelmy-it will stand up to the plate, as stated by their own disclaimers.

 

Wow, I'm very surprised to here this. We have done several Porsche's here in our shop with out any issues so far. Who did you have install this part? I only ask because if it's not done properly you can definately have issues.
