Just installed the latest from Smart Top folks

[Kim]

Right after I bought my Cab a year ago, I saw an ad for the Smart Top and installed one right away. I remain very pleased with the ability to operate the top while moving .... but the bigger convenience is to be able to operate it with one touch of the switch, without having to hold the switch until the top is completely up or down.

So, when I saw a recent ad for their new product, Remote Top, I was very interested. I had even inquired on this forum last year if anyone had experimented with using an after market door lock system to raise/lower their tops remotely. No luck. I envied my forum buds with newer, European models who could accomplish this feat with the OEM multi-function key remote.

Yesterday, I completed the 30 minute installation of my Remote Top. Its terrific. Using the OEM, one button key for my 2000 Cab, I can raise and lower the top remotely .... and do the same with the windows if the top is already where I desire it. No more leaning into the car to operate the top. Additional enhancements include the ability to arm the motion sensor when the top is down, program automatic locking without the PST2, and operate the windows with the car switches after unlocking with the remote, whether or not you have inserted the key.

If you Cab drivers decide to try this, I highly advise installation method #2, in which you remove your seat bolts and tilt the driver's seat out of the way. Its a lot easier than trying to work under the edge of the seat. Just get a 12mm Torx socket before you start.

(The usual disclaimer ... I have no connection with, nor do I receive anything from Wilhelmy. This is simply a personal recommendation.)
