Default Boxster Hacks: Please advise

I want to do some hacking on my 2003 boxster.

One of the hacks I plan is the one touch convertible opening hack. Several places mention the Autotop from bahntech or SmartTop. Does anyone have any experience or advice on this hack?

Googling around I'm finding that a number of pcar sites are sorely out of date or even gone leaving broken links. Here what I’ve found that is still working, and that I want to try as of today...

Enable the motion detector when the top is down (red clip)

?: Can’t I make my own?

Replace the yellow side lights with clear ones (I frankly don't care but everyone else at the shop and dealers says it looks better so... )
