You can figure it out with a needle and meter.
Thanks anyway Buellwinkle, I do belive that the Crossfire roadster does have similar roof mechanics. But I just need to know if I can operate the windows via the remote and I'm not sure exactly who I should contact. When I click on the links you guys gave and begain the download nothing happens.

By the way mines the gray one:

Hey scbysnx...Yes, it puts the top up, no it does not put the door windows up, only the small triangular ones. Most folks find this to be a nice feature because it takes the guesswork out of when to release the top button so the windows don't go up. The module functions, through the use of relays, off the voltage drop of the bulb in the button.

BTW...04Fire...nice "aerial" pic.

If you want more functionality get the Bipe BVRC, it has one touch with remote control although it's slightly more expensive than 20 euros, close to 20 times more expensive.
