Default smartTOP Group Buy for 997, 996, 986

I've contacted Sven at Wilhelmy-IT and he is willing to support a group buy on the smartTOP if we can get enough people to commit. Since this is an off-season product (winter) he is willing to extend this group buy to 997, 996 and the 986. He said this is a one time exception. We can have this run about two weeks and see if there is enough interest.

Here is a link to their website

The same rules apply as the last Remote Key group buy. If you're interested, just post your response on this thread. Once we get enough people, Sven will send the discount code.

Here is the breakdown of the discount available:
-10% for 10 or more orders
-15% for 20 or more orders
-20% for 30 or more orders
-25% for 40 or more orders
-30% for 50 or more orders - no more discount available

OK, I’ll be the first in #1

Thanks,

Ed

UPDATE:

Here are answers directly from Sven to some of the questions regarding combining items for this group buy.

"Regarding the difference between remoteKEY/TOP and smartTOP:

997: The smartTOP includes the functionality of the smartTOP and
remoteTOP (operate the top while driving with onetouch+remotely operate
the roof with onetouch)

996: The smartTOP is basically to operate the top on the go with
onetouch, for remote operation you will need the remoteTOP.

986: The smartTOP is basically top operate the top on the go with
onetouch, for remote operation (only windows) you will need the remoteKEY.

They can order the smartTOP+another product and will get the rebate for
both, BUT it will count only as ONE smartTOP for the groupbuy total."

Esef,

Can I get both the Smart & RemoteTop with group buy discount? I was just ready to order these products. Glad to see you can get it before I put in the order. Thanks!!

If I can get discount for both, I am in.

Edgy, I was not aware that there was a GB for the smartTOP in the past few months. I know of a GB for the Remote Key that just completed.

996superly, my understanding is that the smartTOP has all the features of the Remote Key plus the ability to remotely put the soft top up and down, therefore you would not need both the Remote Key and the SmartTOP. You may want to check their website to verify.

Thanks,

Ed

I want to be able to raise the top and lower it from a distance, raise and lower the windows from a distance, lock and unlock from a distance, start and shut down the car from a distance, load CDs from a distance, and have the oil changed by the push of a button.

NO, you need to order the OEM "Rear Wiper" to get THAT functionality!

Man, those Germans think of ALL the creature comforts!

I'll update my orignal post as well.

I'm assuming that this doesn't involve another transmitter,--just a function reassignment of the two buttons on the existing key. I don't need more stuff hanging on.
