Thanks for the information! Is your aftermarket radio a double DIN and you moved the heater/AC controls to the lower position?

No I use Android Auto via my phone - I figured out a way to mount my phone using the cigarette lighter. Basically my magnetic mount fits perfectly into the cigarette lighter slot with an easy mod.

This is the radio: Pioneer DEH-X4900BT

Hello,

I have had a couple of these issues

1. on youtube there is a guy called Piston Kirk, if you go on his channel he has a video of the window issue, its in french but has subtitles. Maybe that will help

2. I read that if the horn beeps when locking the doors, the front or rear bonnet or boot lid is not closed tight or the centre console or glove box is not locked / shut tight. When it did this i found it was the centre console was not shut properly, I think this could be if you leave the roof open it warns you that people could reach in and open them.

3. My radio is fine, i just bought a Bluetooth transmitter so it recieves the phone and play my songs from there

4. I have never seen the spoiler light come on, so looked in the manual, it says failure of spoiler control. So not seeing it is good news!

Thanks for the updates! I'm kicking myself - the center console latch is broken and I was at a junkyard this weekend and almost grabbed the center console latch from that car but I didn't have the right tools and decided to pass on it (this is before I realized there is a microswitch in the center console). I was going to go back on Sunday to pull it once I realized the microswitch was there but they crushed the car. I hear the car latch and unlatch when I use the key (and the 2 beeps) so I'm hoping it is a door latch but will look into the center console too.

My son and I took out the spoiler from the car, dismantled the entire mechanism, removed all the old grease and re-greased the mechanism and added graphite to the tubes that lift the spoiler. Works very smoothly now but haven't had a chance to get it on the road to test the automatic up/down.
