The best solution for this is with a " Smarttop "or if your looking for just the basic roof/window functions the "Cabriomodule" can be obtained at a very good price ! These allow one touch operation of the centre console button and roof opening with the remote from more distance than the standard remote ...

Yes , but you have to hold the button all the time you are opening the roof ! With the smarttop or similar you open / close the roof with three touches on the remote or one touch on the interior button ...

SmartTop is the way to go.
