Sounds like fun, I'm always happy to get my camera out and shoot things.

So I bought the FES R52 Top Commander. I hooked everything up, saw the 3 light on the board light up and go out. All should be good to go...right?
So I find that I can not open the top or the sunroof on the single tap. I can have the top come up on it's own no problem. Also sometimes opening the top can take a couple of taps or holding the button a few times.
Anyone experience similar issues?

I noticed that the seam is starting to come undone on my seats. Is anyone aware of a local place that may be able to repair where the stitching is coming undone?

I'm down for it!

Since we seem to have a lot of photographers on here, I would like to welcome you all to join a meetup group I am a co-organizer of. It's called unexpected treasures. (http://www.unexpectedtreasures.com). We do various types of photography, and have monthly meetings/workshopts. This saturday I am hosting/leading an open photography trip at the MD RenFaire. I have done sunrise trips in Annapolis and have led a group up to PA to the wolf sanctuary. I specialize mostly in studio photography but I have just as much fun outside of it as well.
My work is at http://www.robertkruckphoto.com
Come check us out.

Spoke with someone at http://www.minimania.com and they said that the rear seat roll bars remain.

Also there is a bug for the 2007 & 2008 R52 in their "will it fit" where it states it won't fit but it actually does. That was confirmed as well.
Looks like I am placing my order next week once I move into my new place

Funny you mention the roadster. I was so excited to see one up close at the picnic that I almost bought one this week. Then I got reminded of how much the car payment would be on an impulse buy LOL.

Thanks for the info. Now I know where to start putting my disposable income lol.
Here is what I was looking at for the rear seat delete:
Not sure if there is anything better or different or if they are all pretty much the same.

I have a 2007 S Cabrio and not sure where I should start in getting the best performance out of it. I've seen people talk about 15% reduction pulleys for the super charger, but what else has people done to their mini's?
These are not performance related, but I did just buy the FES Top Commander and the auto up v7 module. I'm also going to do the rear seat delete once I find one for my model. Does anyone have experience in taking out the rear set in a cabrio? How much of a pain is it?
Thanks

Count me in, just let me know the time.
It was great meeting everyone Saturday at the picnic.
-
Awesome, thanks for the info.

Does anyone recommend a specific brand and place that can install one? I'm looking to do this as well as another friend who owns an 05 S Convertible.
Thanks

Has anyone had experience...good or bad with service from this dealership. I took my mini in for an oil change and state inspection and now need about $2500 in repairs. Work ranges from rear break pads that are hitting the sensors to oil and other seals that are cracked and leaking. There are a few other things but a lot of it should be covered under the warranty that I purchased when I bought my mini used last August.
Hoping they are not the type of place to screw you over too badly.

As of right now I should be able to make this. Only thing stopping me is if I get stuck being primary on-call that weekend.
Air Bag System Failure Light won't go out
in Maintenance & Modifications
Posted
I've been sick and have only driven my mini maybe 10 miles since I had the new stereo put in. Now the air bag system failure light won't go out. I did have to have new steering wheel controls put in and since I didn't do it does anyone know if you have to disconnect the air bag system? Also now when I put my car in reverse I get his loud annoying 3 second beep (not the same sound from the backup sensors).
