As far as i know the latest version of the original smartTOP STAXPE1 Boxster 986 module works for all 986 Boxsters. It is a modified OEM relais with additional electronic circuits. Don't know if there are earlier versions that do not work for all cars.

The Robotop kit is something completely different. It emulates somebody who presses the the roof button until it's completey up, or down. This can be done with an Andruino and some programming skills for 15-20 USD. I never would buy what i saw on the Robotop product page for usage in a car, because of humidity and heat. So if someone aks for 79,95 i would ask for a wheater sealed and electronically correct circuit.

And i'm shure you know the cheapest hack that allows the opening and closing while driving. But you have to press the button the whole time. So no one-touch solution for open and close.
