Top down using keyfob

Is the feature of getting the top down with the key programmable? Neither of my keys will take the top down on my car

We have this option on our 2009 and it works great. I'm wondering if it's part of the "comfort access" package, which we have.

Look in the manual to see if this feature needs CA to work. Also, the car can be picky about where you stand when you're using the keyfob for this purpose. Stand at the right or left rear corner, not too far away, like 3 feet.

Interesting I do have comfort access in my car. I might be standing too far away. I will try standing closer.

mine will not open or close from more then 5 feets away.

I find it works best if you are standing behind the door.

That's part of the Comfort Access option.

Def part of CA. And you need to be literally right next to the car.

One of the things I like about the smartTop module, it works about 10-15 feet from the car
