SLK/R170: Raise & lower top with remote?

Raise & lower top with remote?
Hi Everyone
I'm a new SLK owner (1998, 230), and this is my 1st post (after lurking and learning for a while).
Is there a mod that would allow me to raise and lower the top using my keyless entry remote?
Thanks in advance...

Hi Neicey
Yes, bought it and installed myself. Love it ... works like a charm. A slick charm. Even just being able to push and release the inside button is nice...
Install was pretty straightforward but took a few hours. Install guide is available on the internet from their site http://frontiernet.net/~dbipes/SLK/remote/index.htm
if you want to take a look.

"The BVRC can be installed as a "Do It Yourself" project, but does require stripping and splicing of wires. If you do not have the skill, time or interest for this installation, use a professional service, such as an alarm installation or car audio shop to install the BVRC for you.
and I'd agree 100%. Let me know if you have anymore questions and I'll do my best to answer.
How do you like your manual 320? I've decided thats what I want (instead of the auto 230) ... baring a lottery win and a new 350 :-)

Hi
You don't even need that kit, simply purchase a alarm that has the function of being able to roll up/down power windows and hook it up to the convertable top switch instead of the window switch. If you want to save a ton of money and have a alarm that looks like it should be over 1k (the remote, being a flip open and two way with remote start) I would suggest going on ebay and typing in thor. I put two of these on two different cars and they both worked great for as long as was around the cars (about a year) and I think now you can get that alarm under 100$ If thats not your route, they have viper alarms at almost any car stereo place that has that feature.
