It's happening right now. You can be the third guy in Chicago to get one and I'd even install it for you if we did a get together with the other guys. The list is right here.

I installed mine today and it works GREAT !! The top now opens like it should, Thanks!
It took about an hour to install and the directions were right on but I have one word of warning, the black wrap around the cars wiring harness will leave a hard to clean up mess on anything it touches so be careful especially if you have a white interior like mine !
If you have a Roadster order one today!!

Roadster purchased on 4/2. Quick touch top ordered 4/7. Can't wait to get it and get it installed.

Where can I find out more on the IPOD connection? I looked at the website but no luck.

Finally installed my Quick Touch today, along with my lighted sill plates since I already had the console out I figured I might as well do both. The Quick Touch was easy to install. The lighted sill plates were a PITA, mainly because my short fat fingers has a really hard time pulling out the wires I needed.

I bought one of these last year and I love it! My wife teases me about my laziness, so she calls it. Of course, I tease her about reusing her toothpicks in our truck. She says that it is for the convenience, not the cost savings...

Anyway, I've been thinking about the quick-touch top switch and have a question. As you all know, the automatic feature applies not just to the convertible top but it also works when you double-tap the top control button to raise or lower the windows in tandem. My question is this - is there an automatic reversal or stop built in? I haven't tried testing it, but I worry a little bit about someone getting their fingers caught between the windows and the convertible top when the windows are raised with the top up.

I know that I can just not use that two-window feature; however, I've gotten used to it and I'm not sure I can break the habit.

Anytime you press either side of the switch, it will stop whatever operation it is currently doing. So if you're putting the top up or down automatically and hit the switch, it will stop. Same goes for the windows up and down; hit the switch while they are moving and they stop. There really was a lot of safety features built into this module. Now that's not to say that if someone sticks their finger in there that it will stop on it's own. It would be just like you holding the switch down. Any amount of common sense would dictate that when you're putting the top up or down, you make sure there isn't a little kid around to get his finger stuck in it and if that is a major concern, you should not use the module.

Any input on how hard this is to do it yourself. What tools you found you need and how hard it is to take the center out.

Here is the install manual. It's not too hard to install if you know your way around a screwdriver and a soldering iron.

Excellent - can't wait to be able to save those 20 seconds not having to hold the button down!

Thanks for the well-wishes, Rudy - it is a great feeling having a grandchild.

For those of you that have this installed, how long do you have to hold the button down before you can let go? I hold mine down for 5 seconds and it still stops on me, then I push again and it will finally complete the cycle on it's own. I've tried holding for a few seconds, letting go and pushing again but it still stops. It just seemd that I have to hold my button down for more than 5 seconds to get it to work properly.

How fast are you counting? Lol In all seriousness, it should only take you "one-one thousand, two-one thousand" and it should do the rest on it's own. Give me a call, 952-292-4477 and we'll see of we can get you going right. I'll be around all day so don't hesitate. Wanna make sure it works perfect for you.

Btw, FP was having the same issue and it was also due to timing. That and he was counting uno-uno milli. Just kidding my friend.

Rudy,
I was so tired when I got home from work yesterday that I didn't fool with the top. It was a long 12 hour day. The wife took the Crossfire to work today so I will try what we discussed tomorrow & give you a call again. By the way, I realized last night that I should have sent you a PM regarding this question instead of posting on the this thread. I hope you don't think I was trying to throw you under the bus, that wasn't my intent. I just wasn't thinking (us old people don't think to fast anymore). If anybody is still on the fence about ordering this I would still highly reccomend this Quick Touch.

Just installed the one touch button. The install was done quicker than an oil change, which takes me less then twenty minutes. Great product.

Rudy, will you be installing at the CAA? If so you can use my shop.

Anybody doing a Eurocharged tune might be interested.

Let's see who could that be..

Well, Hmmmmm... ME!
