Smart Top
#21
As for the Smart Top, I am not sure I'd use it enough to justify the expense. It would probably only get used to reverse the open/close directions and avoid having to keep my finger on the button to cycle the top. That and to show off now and then. But I think it is a cool idea, and I suspect I'll end up getting it at some point for the first two reasons if not the third.

There's yet to be an optional feature Foosh likes
I would love to be able to do a remote start. My garage is hot and humid. If I could remote start it and let the A/C blow for a minute or two while I make my way down the elevator it would be a nice feature. I'd pay maybe $200-$300 for it.

As delivered, the car requires the driver to hold his finger on the button through the entire up or down process. The Smart Top module does not and this raises a potential liability issue since the operator is not in continuous control of the operation. This is why Jag does not include similar functionality as delivered, IMHO.

I have had the Smart Top installed for about 24 hours now. It is extremely desirable and totally unnecessary. I totally disagree with Foosh.
It's a matter of taste. I think that Foosh's Winnebago is undesirable. I prefer taking my unnecessary F-Type, with an unnecessary Smart Top, to an unnecessary 5 star hotel instead of staying in an undesirable Winnebago that has been towed by an undesirable Ford F-350 to an undesirable trailer park.
I'm just messing with you Foosh. It's a matter of taste and perhaps I do not possess any!

But, it's too bad you won't have the opportunity to pull up to within 20 yards of the ocean in that 5-star hotel.

I have a 2016 F-type R and tried to install this product. After some difficulty, I contacted the programmer (Stefan - a super nice guy and a very competent programmer) who guided me through various processes for getting the settings the way I like. HOWEVER, it appears that Jaguar programmed the 2016's slightly differently because Stefan was not able to program the remote to open the top. I have the one touch function on the console controller, but he was not able to find the code to enable the remote functionality. For those of you who own a 2016, I would advise waiting on this until he is able to get his hands on a new model to find a solution. If anyone lives in the Las Vegas area and would be willing to allow Stefan access to your car please contact him.

Today we use it about once a month and the rest of the time it lives a pampered life inside an HVAC'ed barn.
