Thanks Steve for confirming that it does not open the sunroof which is a bit of a shame - I wonder why not?

Hi Simon,
There are are a few possible reasons, but I still think that they could have made it work
Reason 1 - the sunroof requires two presses of the sunroof switch, press one just tilts up the back, press two then opens it fully (as we all know). Perhaps they thought it is not worth having a remote opening just to tilt the back up ( to program the two separate clicks is more tricky than just one I guess)
Reason 2 - might be becauses if you have the roof bars on they prevent the roof opening and so it could cause damage.
Reason 3 - since the OSS is a bit "fragile" they didn't want claims against them when it becomes "Broken sky"
reason 4 - it all works by "fooling" the CCCU. So can only manage to do things that the CCCU can do. Perhaps it is not something that the CCU has coded into it?
These are all guesses of course.
The options I like.
Opening and closing the Windows can be done via your remote as standard, but you have to hold the lock / unlock down all the time. This just needs two presses of the unlock / lock, so is easier.
I really like that I can just press lock and the car locks and the Windows's and sunroof close automatically.
I like the remote fuel flap operation, I always forget to press the fuel flap release button before I close the door and now I just press the tailgate button twice and it opens. This is also a nice option if your fuel flap switch has broken.
The one-touch open and close of all windows from the driver's door window switch is useful.
The auto lock when you drive off is useful too but could be enabled with VCDS anyway.
It can be programmed either by connecting it to your PC or even by using a sequence of button presses on the interior lock button on the driver's door.
So all in all an interesting gadget, but not cheap.
One thing I don't like is that it uses two "scotch guard" connectors to connect to the wires on the CCCU.
It is really easy to fit and remove, but I don't like scotch guards at all.
