Top down with a key fob.
Hello. I had posted about a company called Mods for cars about a year ago. They have been making systems for drop tops for Mercedes and Porsches for a few years. Drop your top with a key fob as you are walking to the car. VERY cool!
I got an e-mail tonight showing a demo. I can't wait! They will not be cheap. It will be a few hundred dollars. I personally couldn't see the use of a system where you had to be sitting in the car to hit the button twice. This will be more expensive but pretty cool.
Just an FYI.
I didn't post the video for two reasons: I am not sure if they want me to yet (although it's already on facebook) and I am not sure what the "correct" procedure is with non-sponsors?

I got another e-mail tonight with some more facts:
"Hello,
we are working on it right now and what you see is a first demo.
Tomorrow we will finish the product and start adding it to our online shop system. It will be available in about 8-12 weeks because of
the manufacturing time of the wiring harness.
Best Regards, Sven Tornow

PS: Timeline should be perfect for getting ready for 'vert weather.

I think this post may have just sold a G37 Convertible to ME 
I have a SmartTop module in my SLK and love it. Having access to it was one reason i was looking for another Mercedes instead of the Infiniti.
Can't wait to hear about it. A 5 minute install would be great. I rip my smart top out of my SLK every time i take it in to the shop (too often) and its about a 20 minute job every time and thats after a lot of practice.
