| : no more remote roof opening??? wiz Mar 28th, 2008, 06:57 AM In this months MM.They advise a guy that remote roof opening is no longer avalible? apparently it is a safty issue now? anyone heard this before?:puzzled: BritishRacingMini Mar 28th, 2008, 12:39 PM When we got the Mini last year they wouldn't program the fob to drop the top ... as you say 'safety' reasons. The nanny state again?!? Sportspack Mark Mar 28th, 2008, 06:08 PM Now I think this is utter tosh, I think they said it was due to safety for kids How does it affect a childs safety? Unless they are swinging from the hood in the first place Lucky Dave Mar 28th, 2008, 10:31 PM I cant work it out? My wife has a mini cab and it has the roof open feature. She uses it to open the roof BEFORE she lets the kids out of the house to get in the mini as its safer than opening it with them strapped in the baby seats trying to reach for the hood as it opens! wiz Mar 29th, 2008, 08:55 PM I did think it was a bit odd, though mine does seemed to have stopped working after a recent srevice rellik666 Mar 30th, 2008, 09:28 PM I got mine in Oct last year and I got them to program it for me. No questions and no issues! Why on earth would they stop it! Didn't I read somewhere they had disabled the boot unlock/lock feature as people were locking their keys in the boot? I have it and am just careful! Nanny State I believe, no-one wants to take resposability if they are stupid! minicabrio Apr 2nd, 2008, 12:31 PM This got changed some while back - the roof opening from the key fob is now set to disabled by default, although most friendly dealers will enable this for you. Even new cars can have this enabled. Don't let them charge you for it either, it takes them all of five minutes to change the setting ;) alexconvertible Apr 2nd, 2008, 07:00 PM It didn't work when i got mine in march 05 so asked for it to be switched on when the car went back for warranty which they did no probs. I argued that the brochure said it came on the car. k m s Apr 4th, 2008, 01:26 PM This got changed some while back - the roof opening from the key fob is now set to disabled by default, although most friendly dealers will enable this for you.
