I have read that you could access the top by remote on the W209 convertible. I havent got my manual yet, and I wonder if anyone knows how to do this? Thanks for your help!!

 

"Ich" don't think so. Not with the stock one.

 

If you hold down the unlock button and point it at the black square at the back of the door handle you should be able to lower the top.

 

please note it wont work from far only when your right near the "little black box" on the door handle....i guess it would be cool if you can do it from a distance....it will lower the top which is kind of useful on hot days so you dont have to sit in the car after its been sitting in the blazing heat (imagine black leather..sizzle...)

 

i was really suprised that it works. must have overread sth. when i went through my manuels. but you really have to be close when you activate the button. anyway it is a nice little feature. i have to take back my "ich" don't think so!!

 

there is an aftermarket solution to control the top with RF signals (about 100 feet) and with one touch.
