Product Information

RemoteTOP for Porsche 996 Carrera Coupe, Convertible, Targa and Turbo

This new and innovative control unit expands the function of your factory key remote and gives you even more useful features.

Plug and Play: can be installed by anyone in about 15 minutes.
No soldering - No permanent changes to the vehicle!

This unique comfort controller can be installed by anyone with the help of our detailed installation manual. Installation requires little electronic skills and is done without cutting wires or soldering! The module comes with all wires and parts needed.
No need for extra key fobs. Everything is done with the original key remote.

The control unit was designed by our certified engineer, having years of experience on Porsche and Mercedes Benz vehicle electronics. It was developed according to all European and American (CE, FCC) directives and constitutes a state-of-the-art electronic onboard control unit. Over-voltage protection, reverse polarity protection, safety shut-off and absolutely minimal standby power drain can be taken for granted.

Unique design features only to be found in our product:

• Ultra-low power standby mode.
• Universal compatibility to these cars in ONE module:
  • 996 Carrera Cabriolet
  • 996 Carrera Targa
  • 996 Carrera Coupe

Compatibility with smartTOP: The remoteTOP is a completely new and different product, is installed in a different location and offers different, additional comfort functions for an easier every-day life with your Porsche.

In short, you will have all these new features, once the remoteTOP is installed:

- Operate the soft-top and windows with your original factory-supplied remote-key, no reprogramming of the key or the car necessary. Selectable One-Touch operation which will, once started, complete the soft-top cycle automatically by itself.
- Operate the sunroof (coupe) and windows with your original factory-supplied remote-key, no reprogramming of the key or the car necessary. Selectable One-Touch operation which will, once started, complete the cycle automatically by itself.
- Selectable "Lock-In" feature locks the doors once you start the vehicle or start moving. In contrast to the original Porsche Lock-In feature which can only be enabled or disabled at the dealership, the remoteTOP lets you decide if you want that feature, and even better, if you have it enabled, the remoteTOP will also UNLOCK the doors when you switch the engine off. A detail the Porsche engineers seemingly forgot.
- Selectable "Always-Arm" Mode, which will enable the passenger cabin ultra-sound motion detector alarm when the top is OPEN.
- Comfort window control allows you to use the electric windows after you turn the ignition off. Also enables window control after you unlocked your car with the remote controller. This allows you to walk up to your car, unlock it, sit inside and IMMEDIATELY use the power-windows, no need to put the key into ignition first.
- Bonus Feature: Audible feedback ("chirps") using the alarm horn when locking/unlocking the car by remote. (For technical reasons this feature is not guaranteed to work on all models / model years).
- User programmable: All features can be individually enabled or disabled. Some also allow different personal preferences to be set. All settings are retained even if the car battery is disconnected.

** 2004 models please note: If you want maximum comfort and functionality, please consider to also install a smartTOP, to re-enable closing of all windows which was factory disabled by Porsche on that model.
