I just joined this forum and I have already posted a few questions about different subjects. This is one involving a remote control for the convertible roof of my
1998 SLK 230 which was installed by the original owner. The remote control is
a COMPUSTAR R7000. You have to push a sequence of buttons to remotely open your roof from as far as inside your home. The original owner showed me once and it worked but I haven't done it since. I don't know what system he used to get the roof to open remotely. I am seeing a COMPUSTAR Dealer as I would real like a easier romote to do the job of opening and closing the roof, I am hoping he can provide a remote that is idiot proof, says basically open and close. At the same time I am thinking about getting a remote starter as I have noticed the key
cylinder in my car is reluctant to give me my key back. I have to fiddle with it to get my key out. I had a 1982 mustang that started doing that and eventually I had to replace the key mechanism. To avoid doing that with this car I figure the remote start will save me the head ache. I might get the push button start but I have no idea if that is possible or what option is actually cheaper.
Anybody have any ideas regarding the remote control roof or the starter?
