Hi there,

Complete newbie here. I was about to put down almost 300 dollars on a SmartTop. However I've read that remote activation of the roof can be activated by the VCDS settings. Are there any Audi A3 cabriolet owners that would know how to activate this feature? I don't want to have to pay 300 dollars if there is a way to do this via the settings. I have the convenience key with my Audi A3.

Many thanks!!

Well I can't comment on the VCDS settings, but I am a fan of my smart top, even if it was a little tough to install. The very first step was challenging. The one thing I like is the one touch operation along with the fact that windows stay rolled down after opening the top. Not sure if all the levels of customization are available through VCDS, but 300$ is pretty steep.

On a side note I did get the dealer to turn on voice commands, so there are certain things the dealer can definitely switch on.

If your car has advanced key, its already in the system. You can just hold the door lock and the roof will go down automatically. Unfortunately you cant put it back up from the remote or handle though.
