Remote key - Smart Top
Hi,
This is the piece of kit I bought to control the windows, fuel flap and OSS remotely.
Not cheap at £100, but I wanted the extra functions it includes.
It does the following
On locking the car it automatically closes all windows and the OSS (without holding down the button)
Pressing the tailgate button on the key fob twice pops the fuel flap
It sets the car to auto lock when driving off (anti hijack feature) withoput having to use VCDS
If you press and hold the driver's window down button all electric windows come down (all 4 if you have electric rears)
Pressing the unlock button twice opens all windows remotely (again without having to hold down the button)
The different options can be programmed via the USB cable before (or after) you fit the kit, there is also a method of changing the options via the window buttons.
To me the "auto close of all windows and the sunroof, when locking the car is a nice touch, also the ability to pop the fuel flap remotely is also a nice touch.
None of this is amazing, or great value for money, but if, like me, you like your gadgets it is a fun piece of kit.
The kit is very easy to fit (I did it!!!) and it is easily removed if you sell the car.
The one thing I am not keen on is that it uses two "Scotch Loks" to pick up a live feed, they are not really an acceptable way of connecting electrical connections, but companies like this include them for ease of fitment.
Ask Tom (Timmus) what he thinks of "Scotch Loks" and I think he might be tempted to use a mild swear word or two.
