Terryg Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 I was reading a 987 Facebook page recently and an owners 2 year old had discovered the auto raise function on his 987. I wasn't the only one on there who had been keeping his finger one the button whilst trying to look cool exiting car parks, is this function common knowledge? To open, touch the close button briefly followed by the open button, to close, do the opposite. The car must be going between 8mph and 30mph. Yes I know it is the instructional manual.

Paul P Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 Maybe the 987.2 is slightly different but you don’t need to do the “opposite button” first bit. Just press it the way you want it to go between those speeds and it’s one touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eob Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 No need for the opposite button press here either. I have ended up looking foolish twice now in traffic where I've slowed down below 8 mph and the operation stops mid way leaving me scrambling for the button. Also I've noticed a couple of times that when I've closed the roof on the approach home it rips my "failed elastic fix" and I've had to redo it because the bead is back on the outside of the frame. I guess that's down to the air parachuting the roof fabric. Or maybe I just used rubbish elastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temporarychicken Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 I didn't know this! I always thought it was a bit silly having to mash the button for ages when driving along. Especially in a manual! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
944GS Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 I seen the Facebook post too but wasn’t sure what they were talking about as I’ve never had to press close before pressing open, I suppose people will read that and try it then find that it works and keep doing it even though it doesn’t really make sense. It would also work if they said you need to put the wipers on before pressing open! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entdgc Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 A new one to me too. Will try it soon. Manual, what manual? 🙂 I am a neanderthal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart21UK Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 981 only allows auto open, not auto close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moospeed Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 I wasn’t aware of this, a new “Easter Egg” to try out 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 winder why they removed one touch closing on the 981 ... but you guys can open the roof from the remote can't you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 Several years ago we had a thread about "surprise functions" such as these. As noted, none should be surprises as they are in the manual... Have used this for years but yes as I drive down my road if I have to slow for a badly parked car the roof stops halfway.... would love to know what pin to bend on the relay to disable that safety feature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryg Posted July 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 I'll try the one touch without using the opposite button but I don't think it works on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Loon Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 I have had 2 987.1 and current 987.2 and all 3 you only had to press the open or close button (depending on what you want to do) once as long as you are over 8mph RTFM folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like you have to hold it for a quarter of a second instead of just flicking the switch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon that’s buried in the coding somewhere. I had a quick look in the developer mode PIWIS yesterday but couldn’t see a parameter for “min one touch speed” but there are settings for max speed for roof operation and also different settings for spoiler raise and lower speeds so I think I am in the right place - just my schoolboy German and Google translate and wine couldn’t find any potential candidates. would be interesting to know if that can be configured by coding since it seems an odd thing (I assume it’s some kind of safety thing re getting your own or someone else’s fingers trapped but why “8”’mph - surely “if moving then one touch “‘would be enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
