Keyless Go - Open/Close Windows & Top?
Here's yet another Keyless Go question:
Is there any way to open the windows and the top with Keyless Go?
Is there any way to close the windows and the top with Keyless Go?
Without using the remote control I mean. Maybe holding the door button to Open/Close? Or touching the handle and holding it to Open/Close?
If anybody has played with this it would be great to know the trick.
I love keyless go!

Keyless Go will not operate the top. If you want to put the top down remotely you have to use the key fob.
Keyless Go is only to access the car and start/stop the car.

Absolutely. Just like with the sedans that can put windows up/down and open/close the sunroof with the key fob, you can put the top up or down with the key fob.
Aim the fob at the car to unlock and continue to hold down the unlock button. The car will unlock and then will put down the top/windows.
To put it up do the same. With the car unlocked, point the key fob at the car and hold the lock button. The car will first lock, then the top and windows will go up.
The trick to this is maintaining the "contact" between the key fob and the car while performing the operation. If the contact is broken the procedure won't work. It can be tricky at times.
