I installed the SmartTOP module for 1-touch and remote roof opening, however the remote close doesn't work.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I installed the SmartTOP module for 1-touch and remote roof opening, however the remote close doesn't work. Looking at the instructions it seems to assume a key fob with separate lock and unlock buttons, but mine only has one button for both. Are there alternative key fobs out there?

Nope all the same. One button for unlock and lock.

POST 3Original post

Are you sure it's lock/unlock and not a top control button? My targa key has 3 buttons, one for the lock, one for the frunk, and one for the hatch. I'm guessing a cab has 3 buttons too but I could be wrong.

POST 4Original post

I was referring to just the doors not the frunk or the rear deck lid. Therefore the most common Porsche 996 key fobs technically have three buttons but only one button for locking and unlocking the doors. That�s what I meant. 😉

Ah. I assumed that they normally only had 2 buttons. I know I saw 2-button keys when I was collecting parts to rebuild mine.
