Remote Top Installation
I just installed the RemoteTop in my 2004 996 Turbo Cab. Everything works perfectly except...
Whe the top is down and I lock it using the one touch feature, the top goes all the way to the closed position, but the windows remain open.
Did I miss a programming step? I went through the manual several times, but can't find anything on this.

Figured it out. FWIW... In 2004 Porsche changed the programming on the 996 cab. I apparently also need to install SmartTop to get everything working right.
It would be nice if they stated this in the product description so you could order both at once. It would be even nicer if they gave you package deal on both products.
I'm not nearly as irritated by the extra cost as I am by the wait to get another product and then working in the time to install it.

BTW, all the features were combined into one module for the 997.

Got the SmartTop today and installed it tonight. Everything works perfectly now. It's nice not to have to hold the button down, and I like the automatic door lock/unlock feature as well as the ability to open and close the top with my remote.
Very convenient, but a little expensive for both modules.
