Remote Roof Operation

Post by spareone3 » Tue Feb 22, 2011 10:32 am

Hi all,
Could you confirm the standard functionality on a 07/07 Z4MR with regards to the roof operation vis key fob?

1) Is the opening/closing function a factory standard feature?
2) I have read these Reinhold modules being fitted, is this an after-market module if not factory fitted?
3) Is this fucntionality a coding issue on some cars?

The reasonm I ask, mine will open with the key fob, but I can't work out hold to close the thing! Seems holding the lock on keyfob doesn't work, where holding the unlock does open the roof and windows etc.

Many thanks for any confirmation.

It doesn't close as standard for "safety reasons". I'm certain you can actually get an indie with an autologic kit to do the necessary coding for your key but BMW are not willing to do it.

I got mine coded from an indie to close by the key... however its sketchy at best... as you have to hold it down for a few seconds.... but handy to close the windows when i forget to close them!

A much smarter alternative would be a for a reinhold module.. 3 clicks and it will open/ close the roof.
