Remote Hood + One Touch

I installed the One Touch Hood + Remote module that z4-forum member Gaptech made from this group buy.

The module does two things:

1. It allows you to raise or lower the roof by holding down the console button for only 0.5 seconds. Normally you have to press and hold the entire time.

2. You can also lower and raise the roof using the key fob. You can have your car programmed to put the top down, but you have to hold the button down the entire time; and afaik you can't put the top back up using the key.

To put the top down using the remote you click: Unlock, Unlock, Unlock.

To put the top up: Unlock, Unlock, Lock. The reason that it's not Lock 3 times is that doing this disables the alarm if installed.

Unfortunately it was so dark that only one of my pictures came out.

At this point in time I had finished splicing the first out of 5 cables that you have to connect. For a very clean look install I soldered the cables and used heat shrink tubing. I actually used two pieces of heat shrink tubing, one over the splice itself, then another over the bundle of cables. The module is the little black box.
