is remote roof closure possible?

Ok so as the title states. Is it possible with either the tech2 or a module wired in somewhere. I'm sure i could get an auto electrician to do it but would rather tech 2. Thanx.

It should be possible because I saw one at the Yorkshire show some years ago that did it. It was on a dealer stand ( Robert Bowett ?? ).
Salesman said you couldn't buy one like that as it was only done to demonstrate the roof.

I don't believe it's possible to just set this simply with Tech-II, but there is an engineering menu in Tech-II which needs a special access code from Saab to get into it, it might have been set via that.

Mine does it. Open and closes. From the keyfob. A brilliant thing, when it works properly...

What year and spec is yours?

I thought you just had a 9-3 saloon not a 9-3 convertible? However if you do have a vert there is the other possibility that it isn't allowed to do remote roof close on UK market cars given yours is an Australian model?

Australian?

[Audax]

Australian?

Yes, this site being on the Internet attracts people who are not only from the UK like nine-fiver... Some things are quite different on Saab models sold in different countries, especially around programming of control modules.

U know I'm UK?

[Audax]

U know I'm UK?

Yes, but my reply was to nine-fiver and it even quoted him to make it clear, I believe he's in Australia.

Oops I'll just shut up now.

Don't worry, just trying to clarify if this is something that does work in other countries for you!

What i don't get is my mate had the astra that had it around the same year. They even made a point that you could comfort close on the adverts.

[Audax]

I've just read a large part of the Saab service manual and it says that comfort open/close is not available in US/Canada but it is available elsewhere. Anyway, it says that comfort open is available for the soft-top but it doesn't say that comfort close is available for the soft-top, so all I can assume is that it was never a customer option.

Its just so annoying when it should just work. You'd have more chance taking fingers off going down not up.
