Default Anyone have the Smarttop module and/or green filters?

How do you like the module and how does it work? I take it you click the same button like the car lock button 3 times to close the roof? and click the unlock button 3 times to open it? And you use the same stock knob in the car to use it's features?

As, for the green filters do they actually work? Anyone notice any kind of performance inprovement? HP?

Thanks

Roof module works as advertised. Green filters help in fuel economy but not anything perceptible on the HP. (Try to do a search on both in this forum.)

the smart module is great, works perfectly and was well worth the investment.

What's the average MPG people are getting with SLK55? I just made a trip 500+ miles with mine and got 24.3MPG and 98% was highway miles at 70-80mph.


Can you unlock the command unit in anyway to play MP3 CDs?

Smartop is a must.

Green filters, have not notice any difference in anything, I suppose the mpg will be better later but similiar to what I've been getting. But it looks alot better the the paper OEM filters.

The Comand doesn't need any unlocking to play mp3 CDs or DVDs, in Europe anyway...
