Would be nice to open the roof without having to be in the car.

Need to make sure that feature is activated.
Though I find it doesn't always work, usually when I'm trying to show off to someone!

Had one fitted since 2015 - Brilliant.
Bought one for my mothers' A4 convertible - that one was a pig and had to be linked via the internet to the USA tech dept before it would behave properly.
It's so good to have the roof button that works the correct way round i.e down for down etc!
For maximum pose, remote start the car, then remote the roof down, it's very cool.

I suppose the Jaguar logic is that you press the switch sort of forward to move the roof to the front of the car, and lift the switch back to lift the roof back into the open position.

I like to challenge logic
The gear selector movement is back to front to me as well for going up/dn gears...not that use it at all for that.

I think Jaguar copied the gear shift pattern from touring cars ... they seem to shift the same way.
Of course, with a manual it works both ways!

I've had the smart top device on a BMW Z4 and on 2 Ftypes. Easy to fit and transplanted it between types when I changes cars with absolutely no hassle.
They can be a little fiddly to program if you do it when fitted to the car. Better to decide your options prior to installation so you can do it from a laptop.
