The same works when you lock as well (if the convertible top is open and you manually lock the car, hold key in lock position and the top closes along with the windows)

Now what's left is if Rafik can help me program the key to be able to do the same thing remotely it would be awesome

Before, they the Windows would just open half way and then stop there.
I will continue to monitor this, I hope it keeps working this way :)

Originally posted by Matrix Leader View PostI once test drove a guy's M3 2006 model convertible and he showed me how he can open the convertible top remotely without even being in the car or having the key in, he just pressed a button and the windows rolled down and the top came down.
Now in my recent BMW 330Ci 2005 Convertible, I tried to press and hold the up arrow key which is used to unlock the car, and all it did was it brought down the Windows half way down and stopped, it didn't fully open the convertible.
The service advisor at the X Service Center didn't even know that was a possibility until I told him. So my question is, doe the 330Ci Convertible have the ability to open the top automatically or it has to be done while you are in the car and press the convertible opening button?
Mind you the convertible and all windows work fine
Or maybe there is a trick to doing this or shall I have them check it up as to what could be the issue?
However as wazif said you can always use the key in lock position to fully close top or vice-versa .. In case you didnt know this easy trick works also on 4 doors cars
You might be interested to know many other cheats and twists so i advise you google the same and find the tricks that matches your model to enjoy ur car

But assume its made on 2004 end but released to register on 2005
Dont worry as they are same
You can always use the advantage for your good saying its 2005
