Well, that is generally correct.

But in addition, you have to find an option to RELEASE the electrical locking of the roof package, when it's INSIDE of the boot. This is not possible with any known tool, regardless what can be found in the NewTIS documentation.
I've built a remote control unit for the hydraulic pump as well as for the front locking motor, to be able to support this emergency situation. Unfortunately no DIY solution.
