F83 Convertible - Invert Top Switch w/ SmartTop not working.. coding?

Installed the SmartTop for my F83 Convertible. Had one on my E93, it is a must have if you have CV.

http://www.mods4cars.com/sms/shop/in...de=view&id=140

After updating and initial install it worked flawlessly. However a week later and after some other, non-related coding, it began working inconsistently or not at all.
Reflashed the unit and everything works now except for the 'Invert/Reverse' capability for the Convertible Top switch. Despite changing the settings on the SmartTop module to Factory setting or Inverted; it remains in the Factory setting (push down for top up and pull up for top down).

Would any coding on the Front electronic module (FEM) affect or block the invert setting for the SmartTop module?

Specifically looking at the FEM (3053): FH_CABRIO_VERDECK_MODUL etc code. I don't know how the non-related coding would effect the SmartTop.

Thanks for the help!

Yes they are! Remote session scheduled! Hoping to eliminate any variables that might have been caused by the coding

Why do you consider it a must have? I would definately like to not have to hold the button down and also be able to engage the top from a distance, but I think it's better to have these for safety, is there any other benefit?

1-touch operation with the interior button/key and operation while in motion are two of the biggest features. Here's a list of the features:

One-Touch power convertible top
"One-Touch" convertible top operation allows your top to open or close automatically.

Open/Close the top while driving
Never have to stop again for your top: Open/Close your top while driving. Speed programmable up to 40kmh.

Invert switch logic
Direction of center console top switch can be changed to "pull to open" and "push to close".

Valet Mode
Lock the top in the closed position with a quick key sequence when needed.

Top convenience mode
Turning the ignition on or off does not interrupt convertible top operation.

Top Remote Control
Full automatic one-touch top operation from the original key fob.

Full RF Range
Top and window operation possible from the full distance (uncapped RF range of the factory key fob).

Keyless top control*
One-touch top operation via keyless door handle.
*Keyless entry option required.

Separate window control
Raise and lower the windows separately by remote without activating the top.

Window positions programmable
Raise or lower windows after opening top.

Comfort window close
One-Touch operation when closing all windows simultaneously via the separate driver's door switch.

Individually programmable
Configure all functions of the module to meet your personal preferences via our signature blinker setup menu.
