) speakers are operating again. I guess the hiccup could be called a "mute"...So does the vario module override that, so you don't get that little hiccup as the speakers change? Or does it make sure all four speakers remain turned on, top up or down? That would be the shizzle.

non
i personally would not tear apart the complex computer system just to have music playing while i come upto the car
If you have the remote start module on your R230 could you have music start playin while the car is on? If you can, then you can just remote lower your roof and you could be walking up to your R230 while the roof is lowering, music playing, and engine on and ready to go.

I have a completely stock 2005 SL500 and there is no break in the audio when operating the top.

Barring that, you can always just pay a hooker to meet you by your car in the morning with a cup 'o joe.

2003 SL 500
Does that thing work with the 2003 SL500 model?
Had the Smart Top Module professionally installed yesterday and although it's only 40 degrees outside I've been popping the top all over the place. Installation was very easy (I handed the keys to a professional... I had a laundry list of things for him to do, Install the mod, hardwire a V1, and fix a curb rash on one wheel)
It's very simple to use and I can see that I'll use it every day come summertime. Programing the car for max speed operation was easy. The manual says it can be used up to 35mph, but I set it at a max of 15mph. Just enough to be able to pull away at a traffic light with the top still moving. To program max speed, just drive the speed you want and press the hang up phone button on the steering wheel till it beeps and you're done.
Next test was max opening distance with the remote... it's about 50 yards. Just 3 presses on the unlock button on your MB key and the whole process begins. By the time I got to the car, the top was down and the windows were lowering into the door... it was DONE!
Next... I start the car and give the center console a single tap to close. I then turn off the car and get out as the closing process continues. (there is a slight hesitation when the ignition goes off, but then all continues) I close the door and press the lock button on the door handle as the top is coming down. The windows then close and the doors lock as I am walking away. TOO COOL! I love this thing!
Those are my favorite features so far, but I'll keep toying with it all weekend to try out all the others. It's still early for a complete judgement, but so far, It's all its's advertsed to be.
