One touch roof operation in a Boxster

[Kevin Secker]

When I drove a loan Boxster this summer, I thought it would be nice if the roof was a one-touch operation, especially when dropping it from the remote. It seems that I'm not the only one to thinks this as there is at least one plug-in module on the market that does just this. Has anyone on here done the mod (it literally appears to be a "one relay out/new relay in" job)? Are there any issues I should be aware of?

I Must be nuts......the car hasn't even been built yet and I'm modifying it already!!!

Presumably you are talking 981 if not built yet, but this mod has been around for a long time and I have had a SmartTop for my 2 x 986 for some time now. Does what it says on the tin.

Is there a hack for the 987 to get a single click open/close?

Thanks for the reply. You are correct....981 GTS with all the bells and whistles! I assume there are no "for God's sake don't do that.....it causes xxxxx" issues I need to be aware of?

Funnily enough the make of the item I mentioned above also make something similar for 987

I can't say for 981 but on the 986 you still have the speed limit restriction functions and also some form of emergency stop like a window so if it senses an obstruction it stops. Most of the other solder-in type hacks don't have these features.
