New Product Enclosure: SmartTOP Convertible Top Controllers for Mercedes-Benz SLK and SL by Mods4cars

The add-on SmartTOP Convertible Top modules offered by automotive aftermarket electronics specialist Mods4cars for the Mercedes-Benz SLK and SL roadsters now come standard with the new, exclusive Mods4cars product enclosure. The appearance of the module has been completely revamped to be slimmer and better suited for the purpose. Two LEDs simplify the installation and show the current status. After installing the kit it is possible to operate the top with convenient “one-touch” operation while driving at slow speeds and fully automatically from the original factory remote fob.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), December 23rd, 2013 — The outfit Mods4cars has completely redesigned the appearance of their signature product, the SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller. Effective immediately all shipped kits for Mercedes-Benz SLK and SL now sport the exclusive, custom designed slim-line enclosure. Thanks to its smaller size the module can be installed in even tighter spaces in the car. Due to less plastic and no screws being used, the new design is also more eco-friendly.

With the SmartTOP add-on kit installed, owners of the SLK and SL class convertibles can open or close the top fully automatically from the factory remote key fob. A quick push button combination is all that is needed to start the operation. No changes need to be made to the key fobs. From the center console switch the top can be lowered or raised with one-touch convenience and while the car is moving at slow speeds. It is no longer necessary to hold down the switch. This is a real time saver.

“With days getting shorter it is now more than ever enjoyable to benefit from the last rays of sunlight for the top-down experience. For our customers it’s a breeze. Thanks to the SmartTOP module all they need to do is tap the switch briefly to bring the top down. Once the sun begins to set, another quick tap brings the top back up, no need to pull over and keep holding that switch.” says PR-Manager Sven Tornow.

Apart from these main features each SmartTOP product comes with a host of bonus features to make the roadster lifestyle more enjoyable. On Mercedes SLK R171 and R172 it is possible to raise the small rear windows while the top is down. It is possible to activate an extended mode which will not interrupt an ongoing top operation when starting or stopping the engine. All models dramatically increase the range of the remote operation by using RF instead of IR signals and make it possible to activate the top from a long distance. All features are individually programmable and each module comes with a main switch to temporarily disable the entire product while retaining all user configurable settings.

“The names Mods4cars and SmartTOP stand for innovation. We continuously work on bringing new features and strive to make installation as simple as possible for our customers.” Sven Tornow continues. All modules come with custom made wiring adapters and harnesses that allow a quick and simple connection to the car electronics. The new enclosure comes with two LEDs which show current status or trouble codes. Each module also comes equipped with a standard USB port which allows firmware updates to be applied, all of which are available online free of charge.

SmartTOP modules are available for Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo. Almost all modern convertibles and roadsters are supported. SmartTOP kits are available for the following Mercedes-Benz models: SLK (R170, R171, R172), SL (R129, R230, R231), E-Class Convertible and CLK Convertible.

The kit for Mercedes SLK and SL is available from 249 Euros + tax.

SmartTOP Add-On Convertible Top Controller for Volkswagen Beetle Announced

The aftermarket SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller made by Mods4cars allows owners to put the top up or down with one-touch convenience while driving and remotely from the original key fob. SmartTOP modules are available for all popular modern convertibles and roadsters. The most recent addition to the product line is the new Volkswagen Beetle convertible.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), November 26th, 2013 — Aftermarket electronics specialist Mods4cars just announced the soon to be available SmartTOP add-on Convertible Top Controller for the Volkswagen Beetle convertible. In just a few weeks the new kit will become available and make use of the top easier and more fun. The module adds one-touch convenience to the console switch, eliminating the need to hold down the switch for the duration of the operation. A quick tap is enough to fully open or close the top. This allows owners to enjoy the top-down driving experience more often.

In addition to the one-touch feature from inside, the SmartTOP kit adds another neat feature. The top can be raised or lowered fully automatically from the original key fob remote with just a quick combination of key presses.

“Top control from the original key fob is a very popular feature with our customers. It allows putting the top down on hot days, even before reaching the car”, says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “The feature can also come in handy when trying to transport bigger items on the back seat. Our customer will not need to get in the car first and manually lower the top in order to start loading. A quick use of the fob opens the top, saving time and providing the ultimate user experience.” Sven Tornow continues.

It is possible to get in the car and start the engine while the top is moving. A top operation started from the remote will not be interrupted by turning the engine on. If needed, the entire module can be temporarily disabled. A standard mini USB port built into the module allows quick and easy programming of all user configurable settings as well as flashing firmware updates which will always be available free of charge online.

The SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for the Volkswagen Beetle convertible will sport the new, custom designed Mods4cars enclosure. Apart from its sleek, fully sealed design it sports two LEDs for detailed status information. The kit comes with a wiring adapter that allows quick and easy installation in the car.

The convenience add-on kit for the Volkswagen Beetle is available for 249 Euros + tax.

The add-on SmartTOP convertible top controller designed by aftermarket automotive specialist Mods4cars for the new Porsche Carrera Convertible (991) is in stock available for order effective immediately. The module allows opening and closing the top at slow speeds with just a short tap on the console switch. Additionally the top can be operated from the factory key fob remote, up to the full range of the RF signal and without the need to hold a button down. A custom designed plug and play wiring adapter makes installation as easy as possible.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), December 12th, 2012 — The SmartTOP convertible top module kit offered by Mods4cars for the new Porsche Carrera 991 Convertible is available for order today. The aftermarket product adds convenience and functionality to the convertible top operation. It enhances the center console switch with one-touch auto-operation, removing the requirement to hold the switch down. This gives owners the opportunity to use the top more often and drive with the top down even on shorter trips. It makes bringing the top down or back up less cumbersome.

Additionally it is now possible to control the top from the original factory key remote with just a quick key press sequence after which the top will open or close fully automatically. Also here there is no need to hold down any button during operation. “Our customers can now start a top operation from the remote, get in the car and start the engine, while the top continues to operate”, says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “This is not only a real convenience but also a time saver” he concludes. With the SmartTOP module it is even possible to control just the windows by remote, independently from the top.

The kit offers a couple of bonus features, all of which can be individually selected by the user via a simple setup procedure. The wind deflector operation can be enhanced with one-touch operation as well as full-auto operation when using the remote to open the top. A real convenience for all Porsche Carrera owners who enjoy driving with the wind deflector up. The top can optionally be operated with the keyless touch door handle (if present) without the need to use the remote fob. All windows can be operated simultaneously with the windows switches, removing the need to use the window selector rocker and an extended mode can be activated where either starting or stopping the engine does not interrupt the top operations. The entire module can be deactivated temporarily as well while retaining all user settings.

The module comes equipped with a standard USB port and cable as part of the kit. This allows quick and easy configuration of user settings as well as firmware updates, which are provided by Mods4cars online and free of charge. The support software is available for Windows and Mac OS.

SmartTOP Convertible Top Module for Mercedes-Benz SLK, CLK & SL With Added Function

The SmartTOP add-on module for Mercedes-Benz SLK type R171, CLK type A209 and SL type R230 allows the convertible top to be opened and closed while driving with a one touch function. The top can also be operated from the original key fob. Now Mods4cars has added an additional function to their product: The window positions after top operation can be programmed.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), December 05, 2012 — The SmartTOP aftermarket convertible top module offered by Mods4cars allows the opening and closing of the roof while driving at speeds of up to 60 km/h (37mph). Thanks to the one-touch function, a short key press on the console button is all that is required to operate the top. Additionally, one-touch roof top handling is possible from the original key fob.

Mods4cars has now added an additional function to their convertible top module: The window positions after roof top opening can be programmed. By configuring the module, the customers can decide whether they want to have the windows opened or closed after top operation.

“The new function makes it possible to program the module more precisely according to our customers’ desires.” says PR manager Sven Tornow. “Convertible drivers who want to enjoy the feeling of an open car can program the module so that the windows are down after opening the roof. Drivers who want to drive more comfortably can program the windows to be closed. The new function makes any additional use of the window buttons obsolete.” declares Sven Tornow.

Also existing customers can benefit from this added function. The SmartTOP modules come equipped with a standard USB connection, which allows installation of free firmware updates offered by Mods4cars on their home page. Every SmartTOP owner can benefit from future function extensions.

The SmartTOP module offers many more features: The windows can be opened and closed separately via remote key fob and by one-touch function just with a double click. If desired, a short chirp can sound after using the central locking. And having the module automatically lock and unlock the doors while driving is an option, too. As a coming-home-light the headlights can be activated via remote key fob. Starting the engine or turning the ignition off while the top is moving will not interrupt the operation. The complete removal of the entire kit is possible at any time.

From Alfa via Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo up to VW, Mods4cars offers SmartTOP modules for nearly every convertible car or roadster. Also for the previous types SLK R170, SL R129 and the follow up types SLK R172, SL R231 and the E-Class convertible.

Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.
