Hi

Sometimes when its hot, its great to be able to lower the top with the keyfob infra-red from the outside by holding down the unlock button on the remote which works well. However just wondering if there is a way to make the range a little bit further than 1 or 2 " !

Thanks

 

The infra-red is poor even when there is no fault.
I think you should look at a "smart roof module" , like SmartTOP , xCAR style, etc or (my choice) http://www.cabrio-module.de/
This is how the roof should have been designed to operate!

 

I agree the range is poor as on all the Mercs I have has, C-Class,E-Class, CLK all the same. I will probably just buy the SmartTOP, are they easy to install?

 

Yes, see attached as an example.
