Hi guys,

has anyone tried all the functions with the Smart Top module on the 991.2 Targa? I would like to know if the module is reliable and also how the open/close feature during the drive feels like. I know the speed is pretty low (15Kmh AFAIK) but for me that would be enough to open/close while rolling towards a red traffic light. I blocked yesterday twice a traffic light trying to close and open my roof (before and after an Autobahn drive) and I would like to avoid that in the future.

Thanks!
Adrian

Dave,
no, not in that situation. But while approaching the red light and creeping, yes, I want.

I have it for my 991.2 Targa 4S and works very well with respect to one touch open/close from within the cabin and also via the key fob when approaching or leaving the vehicle.

It will work while in gear and while moving literally <1 mph however and speed higher or let off the brake and the operation is halted.
Even though I think understand the reasons why it doesn't I do wish it worked at slightly higher speed.

I just bought one for my soon to be delivered targa, but have no experience with its operation. For me, it was imperative to have it. I need to be able to open and close the top from the key fob from inside my home or from a restaurant should it start raining or just to let the heat out on a summer day. If there is a way to get it to open or close above 1mph I will find out as rolling to a stop light would also be a useful feature.

First week in June and from what I am told it is one of the most heavily optioned Targas my dealer has ever seen.
In English that means that I will never get my money out of it

I think the only 2 options I remember leaving out were deviated stitching and LED's.

Its a PTS Color, Full Leather, Carbon Fiber, PCCB Brakes, etc.. Could have bought a Turbo but, I wanted that targa top and after mods I will be faster than the turbo anyway,,

That is definitely not what they advertise here. It says operation until 15kmh which is around 10mph. That would be enough for me. Without that feature, there is no much added value for me. In Europe we have a remote control key for the roof operation. Sure, you have to hold it but the one press operations are not worth the 400€ it costs here. Open/Close during driving/creeping is what I am after.

You really want that huge thing catching airflow? Not so sure about that...,

Guys wanted to revive and update this thread.
I had been thinking about the above quote regarding the top operation at 10mph and this is also stated on their website. This weekend I re-connected to the module and dowloaded an update (firmware).
I changed the 1st Function to "expert" mode and also downloaded a revised list of all of the functions now 12 up from 11
Not sure which of the above made the difference but now the top does operate at up to 10mph. Also once the top operation starts it will continue until it completes the process which is great if you are at a stop sign or light and need to start moving.

Much more useful now and I'm much happier.

thanks for heads up. will update this weekend!!!
