Audi A3 Cab Remote Roof

[nyc2k]

Hi there,

Complete newbie here. I was about to put down almost 300 dollars on a SmartTop. However I've read that remote activation of the roof can be activated by the VCDS settings. Are there any Audi A3 cabriolet owners that would know how to activate this feature? I don't want to have to pay 300 dollars if there is a way to do this via the settings. I have the convenience key with my Audi A3.

Many thanks!!

Has anyone got this to work yet via VCDS?

Not had anyone with a Cab make use of my services as yet so cannot confirm myself If anyone with a Cabrio fancies a meet, London, I am more than happy to test and report back.

If it can't be done, then the smarttop modules are ****** brilliant. I have one on my MX5 and it's a godsend.

The standard roof control was a pain in the ****;

Ignition on, zero speed, handbrake on, gears in neutral, open latch, hold button down until roof is fully stowed, and then your allowed to drive again. Repeat tedious process to raise roof.

It's now a case of;

Open latch.

That's it, as long as forward speed is less than 15mph, the roof drops without further driver involvement.
To raise the roof, just press the button once, and it'll raise up as you drive, all you have to do is flip the centre latch when the roof reappears over your head.

Gonna find out on Saturday

[About the MX5..]

Ignition on, zero speed, handbrake on, gears in neutral, open latch, hold button down until roof is fully stowed, and then your allowed to drive again. Repeat tedious process to raise roof.

At least on the A3 you can do this while in motion (under 50Km/h) but you have to keep holding the button while opening/closing. A pain in the rear end! So even if VCDS can enable a one-click operation that would be great!

C39KER popped over today for some testing, top bloke and very nicely styled / themed and modded car! We activated everything we believe is needed for remote roof operation but could not get it to work. Project is a work in progress.

So after further investigation the adaptation channels listed above will only work in conjunction with Advanced Key / KESSY. No remote roof for normal key holders
