Thats the beauty of your arduino solution, you are merely simulating someone holding their finger on the switch electronically and so all the regular built in functionality and safety is still in effect unaltered.

You will still need the parking brake engaged a click for the roof to open/close.

It would be nice to interface that brake switch as well with the arduino, so you dont have to have the parking brake on.

I guess the arduino would simulate an active parking break signal to the relay.
