Recently I visited the SLK forum and noticed that lots of those folks have upgraded the logic and features of their convertable, windows and wireless automation via a new product called SmartTOP which retails in the mid $250. Among several other cool features it allows you to raise or lower your top while moving (below user settable max of <=60kph). I want this!! You can also raise and/or lower the top/windows remotely so when you get to the car it's ready to go, or (if close enough) raise it without having to go to the car in the rain. So, I contacted the company and here is their response!! What do you think? Anyone in Las Vegas with a roadster they can loan for a couple days to get a free SmartTop?

Hello David,
I got your inquiry forwarded from Sven in sales. We would very much be interested in working on the crossfire and making a SmartTOP available for it. Unfortunately we just haven't had a chance yet
to look at one here. Seeing that you have a forum there, would you be willing to post and ask people for a donor car in/around Las Vegas? I would need one for a weekend at least, maybe 3 days.
Whoever lends us the car will get the installed module for free.
I could also drive to LA or Phoenix in a pinch and develop there, but since this is a completely new module (not just a quick firmware change on an existing one) it would be better to have a car here at the lab.

I do have wiring diagrams already for the car, so all we really need is a car for a few days.

Thanks!

Best Regards,

Stefan Wilhelmy

Message : would you consider making SmartTop for Chrysler Crossfire roadsters? There are thousands still on the road, and I'm tired of getting wet :-) There is an active forum on www.Crossfire.org and I'm sure many members would be interested in a group buy. I'm sure one of the members would be willing to provide a donor car. FYI, the car is really an SLK 320/32 AMG under the skin. Thanks for your consideration.
