OK, call me crazy or a heretic, but what the heck is wrong with walking the extra three steps to the car and using your key in the driver's door lock to raise or lower your top from the outside? No mods, no hassle, no sweat!
Wait, maybe it's the cool factor that makes the difference, right guys?

In a pinch, you can claim that you are seeking healing throught the Forum. It's sort of group therapy.
Thanks for letting me share - - -

Wow, its really great to see so much interest in this
!!
Your patience will be rewarded.
I started checking some of the signals in the car, and the door locks did not work exactly as I had originally expected, so I needed to redesign the original circuit. Then the 25 second timeout was botherring me, especially for all of you that have the 'slow' top with the pressure reduction resistor....so I redesigned it again to get rid of that issue. Then I looked at the design, and thought it was now too complicated, so I redesigned it again to make it simpler.
I am also looking into the easiest, quickest and most reliable and non destructive way to tap into the necessary wires.
Meanwhile my wife is trying to figure out why the car is partially dissaembled in the garage during peak convertible season

Everyone's remote will work...some just have a different symbols on the bottom row of buttons.
Just lowering the top remotely will have about half of the parts, and simpler wiring, so I think this is going to be the most popular option, especially since it is also the most useful (and cool

To raise: Turn to "locked" position and hold until the sequence is finished - top and windows up. (You can release it sooner if you do not want the windows to close.)
It's fun to discover new things, isn't it??

To drop the top: Insert key in door, turn to "unlock" position and hold until the top is down.

Cheers,
I personally don't like closing the top with the key because the windows being up in the front deform the seals just a bit the pinch them

Hmmm, that's not the way mine works. When raising the top with the key, all windows go completely down, the top goes up, the rear windows go up, and finally the front windows go up.
I find it easiest to remember to turn the key in the direction that I want the top to go -- turn the key toward the back of the car:top moves toward the back, turn the key towards the front of the car:top moves toward the front.
