One Touch VarioRoof Module

Theres been alot of discussion about this module on the SLK forum Here

Apparently its now available for the SL R230 model Here

Heres what they have to say about it
Comfort-Varioroof-Module for all SL R230
The first Comfort-Varioroof-Module is available in a plug & play version for all SLK R171 after a long period of testing. Now we have them also for the SL R230 series on stock for a prompt delivery. Functions
* Using the varioroof center console control knob Using just a short push (1 sec.) of the varioroof knob, the roof will open / close automatically. If the key is removed from the ignition, the process stops immediately.
* Using the remote control key Any version of your key can now be used to operate the retractable roof. Press ”lock“ 3 times – the varioroof closes automatically. Press ”unlock“ 3 times – the varioroof opens automatically. Pressing “unlock” 3 additional times will open the side windows as well. This process uses your key’s RF transmitter, and so is functional at a distance of up to 50m. If you put the key in the ignition, the process will stop immediately.
* Activate / deactivate the comfort-varioroof-module Put in the key in the ignition lock and turn it to position 1 – pushing the ”end call“ button in the steering wheel for 3 seconds will activate or deactivate the varioroof-module. While deactivated, the varioroof-module can not be found by your dealer’s service computer.
* With the comfort-varioroof-module it is possible to open/close the roof up to a maximum speed of 50 km/h.
* The maximum speed to open/close the roof is user adjustable to any speed between 10 – 50 km/h.
* To program the maximum speed, push and hold the ”end call“ button in the steering wheel for 3 seconds while driving at the desired speed.
* The emergency stop mechanism is unchanged
* ISO certified production in best automotive quality standard
Attantion ! For UK-Models we are looking by the time for a solution to install it in such an easy way.
Looks interesting

this should have been the way it worked stock.

I like this feature.

Let me know if you do it.

Any of our vendors here sell this?
