Smart top Control Unit 996
Opens & closes the roof while driving at slow speeds with a single touch of the button

Window control: All windows go down upon opening of the roof. Two rear windows usually stay down when the roof is open. smartTOP allows normal operation through the switches when the roof is open

On the post 2003 models windows cannot be closed from the outside (with key in driver's side doorlock) . Our smartTOP allows closing of the windows just the way it used to.

This Product Fits:


Porsche 996 Cabrio

Product features:

Operate the soft-top and windows with your original factory-supplied remote-key, no reprogramming of the key or the car necessary. Selectable One-Touch operation which will, once started, complete the soft-top cycle automatically by itself.

Operate the sunroof (coupe) and windows with your original factory-supplied remote-key, no reprogramming of the key or the car necessary. Selectable One-Touch operation which will, once started, complete the cycle automatically by itself.

Selectable "Lock-In" feature locks the doors once you start the vehicle or start moving. In contrast to the original Porsche Lock-In feature which can only be enabled or disabled at the dealership, the remoteTOP lets you decide if you want that feature, and even better, if you have it enabled, the remoteTOP will also UNLOCK the doors when you switch the engine off. A detail the Porsche engineers seemingly forgot.

Selectable "Always-Arm" Mode, which will enable the passenger cabin ultra-sound motion detector alarm when the top is OPEN.

Comfort window control allows you to use the electric windows after you turn the ignition off. Also enables window control after you unlocked your car with the remote controller. This allows you to walk up to your car, unlock it, sit inside and IMMEDIATELY use the power-windows, no need to put the key into ignition first.

Bonus Feature: Audible feedback ("chirps") using the alarm horn when locking/unlocking the car by remote. (For technical reasons this feature is not guaranteed to work on all models / model years).

User programmable: All features can be individually enabled or disabled. Some also allow different personal preferences to be set. All settings are retained even if the car battery is disconnected.


Compatibility with smartTOP (996 Convertibles): The remoteTOP is a completely new and different product, is installed in a different location and offers different, additional comfort functions for an easier every-day life with your Porsche.

** 2004 models note: If you want maximum comfort and functionality, please consider to also install a smartTOP, to re-enable closing of all windows which was factory disabled by Porsche on that model.
