So ive effectively lost that functionality, but its nothing major. I still expect the battery to start the car for another couple of years.
I was warned by the sales person when I bought my car to not operate the top with the car turned off unless necessary in order to preserve the battery. Just one person's opinion, but I thought it was interesting nevertheless. I think I've done it maybe once.
