all E89 will open and close while driving, just not up to 25mph. the purpose of this is so it would open/close with one touch and also fold your mirror. you can come to your destination, turn off the engine, press the close button and walk away or open it while you are approaching the vehicle and dont have to hold for 20 seconds on the remote control

It's simply Plug and Play, but we'll try to get a view next time a Z4 module is installed at our facility.

Installation instructions ...
For those of you that don't have the installation instructions for the plug-n-play version of the SmartTop ... here is the PDF doc ...
Honestly, the hardest part for me was learning how to take off the black plastic plugs. The trick is to realize that there is a sleeve that the main part itself fits into (sort of like an anchor you stick into the wall). So, pry off just the TOP part of the plug. Then pull out the top part. Finally, pull out the sleeve. When re-installing, just put in the sleeve by itself, then push in the top part of the plug. The other "hard" part was finding a way to jam in the entire unit before putting everything back together. But you'll find a way to do it with trial and error. |

Also automatically folding and unfolding the side view mirrors when locking and unlocking the doors is a nice touch too. Thanks to EAS for shipping it to me so quickly too!! Last edited by BuckarooVT90; 11-06-2012 at 05:14 PM.. Reason: Kudos to EAS! |

But one thing that I HAVE to fix is that I sometimes have the issue where after all four windows roll up, either or both of the front windows start rolling down automatically. This could be a pain if you just walk away from your car expecting everything to close and you find out that one of the front windows is open @#$!!!! Some days, the left-front window will automatically roll down more than 50% of the time. Drives me crazy. I know the fix is to convince the dealer to install that relay to delay the rear windows from closing. The last time I brought it in, they insisted on just "recalibrating" the window closing, which worked for about two days before it was clear that it didn't help. But as it is right now, I do what you do when I park the car, but I feel like I have to watch all the windows close up before I can walk away. I try to look cool in the process, but I would feel much cooler if I could just walk away. |

ive never ran into that problem but i have experienced a different problem. this only happen if i use the remote control to lock and close the top. the trunk would open and the top would not completely finish closing. i have avoided that problem by pressing the close button inside the car then close it and lock the doors. it may be my fault as well because i pressed the button while the remote control is still inside my pocket and accidently press the trunk button

yea, it only happen to me when i have the key fob inside my pocket so its probably my fault. i just didn't want to get out the key fob knowing i have comfort access. kind of defeat the purpose of having it. i pressed the button inside the car and then exit the car. so far no problem with the unit

The biggest problem that I encounter is that my trunk keeps popping open when I get in the car. My key fob is too sensitive in my pocket.
