Opening top by remote without Keyless entry?

Apparently with the keyless entry card one can open the top on the new SL by remote control without being in the vehicle. Can use of the key also allow for remote opening of the top without having to pay extra for the keyless entry option?

Keyless option

If I understand your question, closing the top with the keyless remote is the standard. Keyless go option allows locking, unlocking, starting and stopping of the car without getting a key out.

SL Smart Keys

The standard key that comes with the SL will alloy you to open and close the top all with the key. This is not something you have to pay extra or part of an option package (Keyless Go). The key will drop the top by holding down the unlock button on the Smart Key and will do the reverse by holding down the lock button. VERY COOL feature and they now come standard with the 6-disc CD Changer.

Nice!! Now we are in-line with the new BWM 3 Series convertible, which allows for the opening, and closing of the top via the remote..
