SmartTOP Convertible Top Modules with Plug-and-Play Wiring Adapters

Leave a comment

Most SmartTOP aftermarket convertible top modules come bundled with a plug-and-play wiring adapter that simply plugs in between existing connectors. This makes it possible for anyone to install the kit in minutes.

Las Vegas, NV, Tuesday – September 13, 2011 — The SmartTOP roof control modules offered by Mods4cars for Alfa, Audi, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault, Volvo and VW now all ship with full plug-and-play wiring adapters. These are custom designed harnesses using original OEM plugs and connectors that simply plug in between existing connections without the need to solder or splice any wires. A 100% fit of all electrical connections is guaranteed.

Thanks to the custom in house engineered wiring kits the modules can be installed by anyone in just minutes. In most cases all it takes is removing one connector from the convertible top controller box and plugging the wiring kit in between. ( http://www.mods4cars.com )

“Our latest wiring kits make it impossible to accidentally swap any connections. No more cutting, splicing or handling single wires is necessary.” explains PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “To install one of our modules one simply removes one connector from the controller box and plugs our adapter that comes with every kit in between – that’s it!” he concludes.

The two main features of all SmartTOP convertible top modules are one-touch top operation while driving (on some models up to 60kmh / 35mph) as well as remote operation of the top from the original factory key fob (on most models). Top operation is fully automatic with no need to push and hold any switch or button.

Each module also offers several model dependent bonus features: Some allow chirping the horn or siren when locking or unlocking the car, some allow automatic door locking and unlocking or defining the desired position of the windows after opening the top. All modules can be turned off completely if needed and come with a standard USB port for simple and easy setting of all user configurable parameters via PC or laptop as well as quick and easy firmware updates. The software program and all firmware updates are available free of charge.

Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and VW – all of these popular brands are supported by the SmartTOP product line. Mods4cars offers modules for almost all modern convertibles and roadsters on the road today.

The convertible top fun is available for 209 Euros + tax and up.

Further details and purchasing information can be found online at: http://www.mods4cars.com

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Nevada and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. 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.

Carrentals.co.uk Tells Car Renters Beware ‘Unfair Wear & Tear’ Charges

Leave a comment

12 September 2011 — RTPR – Travellers renting cars are being advised to report any ‘wear and tear’ issues they experience with a car, including concerns such as brake and clutch performance, to the supplier to help avoid unfair excess charges on their return.

The advice comes from leading comparison site Carrentals.co.uk, which has been told of a number of cases where customers were charged for issues such as a damaged clutch, which would have been built up over time.

Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: “Most people will check over their rental car before driving off, but sometimes there can be problems that can’t be found until the car is actually being driven. A clutch that has been damaged by frequent riding, brakes affected by aggressive usage over time – they’re just some of the potential issues that can build up and result in one unlucky customer being unfairly charged. Our advice is that if you have any concerns about your car – be that the oil level or braking performance, contact your rental company straight away.

“Rental companies do regularly maintain their cars, but it’s always possible for unseen damage to occur over time. Our focus is on ensuring our customers aren’t financially hit for previous misuse.”

Carrentals.co.uk Top Tips to Avoid ‘Unfair Wear & Tear’ Charges –

1) Shop around for the most comprehensive excess insurance cover before you travel – and make sure it covers things like tyre and windscreen damage.

2) On collection, check over your rental car carefully – take your time and highlight any concerns with your supplier.

3) While you may not be able to see things like a nail in a tyre or a clutch that is slipping, once you start driving the vehicle take your time to feel if everything’s OK and if you have any concerns go back to the supplier and let them know straight away.

4) Again, once you’re out on the road or in your destination, if something’s not right with your car, don’t wait until you drop it off to highlight the problem, contact the supplier and let them know.

5) Keep a record of your contact with your supplier, including phone calls and written communication to ensure you have all of the details in case you need to challenge any charges.

Gareth adds: “While many people now take out excess insurance cover, some elements such as damage to windscreens and tyres just aren’t covered with many suppliers, despite them being the most likely to be damaged. Make sure you know what you’re getting with your insurance cover, and if in any doubt about your car’s performance report it to the supplier immediately.”

Daily Car Hire from £10 for August Bank Holiday

Leave a comment

22 August 2011 — RTPR — Award-winning car hire price comparator Carrentals.co.uk is advising UK travellers that there are still incredibly low rates available on rentals for the upcoming Bank Holiday in August. For just £10 per day, car hire can be had at many hot getaway spots such as Mallorca, Nice and others.

The world’s leading rental car companies such as Hertz, Budget and Avis are holding their summer rates low for the end of the summer travel season. Brits can still enjoy superb value deals on car hire in favourite locations around Greece, the south of France and the Mediterranean – with deals on show for as little as £30 for a three day package.

Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: “Whether it’s a car hire in Menorca booking or the French Alps the tourist is looking for, great value rental rates are available on cars for this long weekend in August. The car hire companies are enjoying a good year, and they want to maintain this level of business throughout the summer’s end.”

“Because this is last Bank Holiday of the year and it is such a busy travel period, it is particularly important to make rental bookings early. Popular items like sat nav, infant safety seats or vehicles like a 4×4 or people carrier often sell out ahead of time during holidays. You can avoid disappointment by simply making a reservation in advance.”

More than 1,000 travellers surveyed name tipping their biggest source of confusion when travelling abroad

Leave a comment

Aug 19, 2011 — RTPR – When travelling abroad, UK residents find the issue of tipping more confusing than anything else and value advice on what to do in restaurants and taxis – a recent survey from Carrentals.co.uk reveals.

The online comparison experts interviewed 1,000 people who used car hire UK services in the past year to discover what issues they wanted advice on the most. Interestingly, more important topics like legal points and important festivals were passed over for the subject of tipping etiquette.

Although many countries still maintain a culture of no tipping, leaving a gratuity in restaurants is increasingly becoming the norm. When to tip or not to tip is a dilemma many travellers face, along with how much to leave the waiter. As many restaurants add a service charge to the bill, this only adds to the confusion.

Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of car hire specialist Carrentals.co.uk, says: “Lately it seems like wherever we travel in the world, waiters expect a tip when we eat out. When you come from a culture that doesn’t tip, this can feel like an uncomfortable process concerning how much is an appropriate amount. Places like the USA have a deeply entrenched tipping scene with tips averaging a whopping 20% in most restaurants.”

“When you know ahead of time what to expect from the restaurant in terms of service and gratuity you can avoid a mountain of frustration and embarrassment. We learned from our survey that people want to know what to do in restaurants, taxis and even hotels before they head off on holiday. Our goal now is provide our customers with everything they need to know in clear easy terms right on our car rental booking website.”

The popular Carrentals.co.uk website compares rental rates and deals from dozens of international firms including Alamo, Auto Europe, Budget, Holiday Autos and Sixt, and has handled more than 650,000 rentals to date. For more information visitwww.carrentals.co.uk

Driving a hybrid motor vehicle is often a smart way to help the atmosphere and help save dollars on fuel. There are now many cars to pick from and shopping for a person can be tiresome when you do not understand what to seem for. With this report, we will compare two with the hottest hybrid sedans in the market nowadays, namely the 2011 Toyota Prius and Ford Fusion Hybrid, and check out to produce that task a little bit easier for you.

The Toyota Prius is becoming virtually synonymous with hybrids — so much to ensure it really is hard to even visualize a hybrid not having the Prius becoming the very first thing that jumps into your thoughts. It is also challenging to think about fuel performance devoid of thinking of your Prius; following all, its combined fuel overall economy of 50 mpg is nevertheless to become overtaken by every other hybrid sedan within the market right now including the Ford Fusion Hybrid. And its position since the best promoting hybrid from the world as well as most fuel efficient hybrid in North America stays perfectly intact. In comparison, the Ford Fusion Hybrid has an EPA believed mixed fuel financial state of 39 mpg – a respectable figure but no match for the Prius. As this kind of, if fuel economy is what is most crucial to you personally, I might unquestionably advise the Prius above the Ford Fusion Hybrid or every other hybrid for that matter.

But aside from fuel economic system, what exactly are another parts it is best to maintain in thoughts? For starters, the Prius’s special and futuristic styling is not for everybody. There are many who love it but some others loathe it. With the Ford Fusion Hybrid, having said that, you obtain the advantages of a fashionable, standard sedan coupled with the practicality of a hybrid. Apart from the hybrid badge to the car, you actually cannot distinguish it from a typical Fusion. It also outperforms its Prius counterpart in relation to effectiveness. The Fusion Hybrid includes a more impressive 2.five L, 156 horsepower engine in contrast to the Prius’s 1.eight L, 134 horsepower motor. It can also accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just around eight seconds whereas the Prius requires 9.two seconds. Moreover, the fact that it might travel at 47 mph on electrical ability by yourself is fairly outstanding. Reviews also advise the Fusion Hybrid provides a smoother and much more secure ride compared to Prius – sudden turns and lane improvements might be a bit tricky along with the Prius.

When it comes to capabilities and options, equally vehicles fare pretty very well. The Ford Fusion Hybrid’s instrument panel is intuitive and well liked by drivers. An revolutionary “green motivator” featuring a vine that gains or loses leaves relying on fuel productive driving behavior is often a truly good touch. On the flip side, the Prius’s dashboard continues to be criticized for not currently being arranged from the most intuitive way and does get some obtaining made use of to. The Prius is quite possibly additional high tech than its counterpart and offers a lot of superior capabilities that a single can opt in for including an Superior Advice Parking Process, Lane Hold Support, and Pre-Collision Method. Lastly, the Prius’s starting base price tag of $21,995 is perfectly beneath the Fusion Hybrid’s $28,a hundred. Of course, the final price will rely for the trim and possibilities you choose in for.

We wish you loved our comparison with the 2011 Toyota Prius and Ford Fusion Hybrid and hope it facilitates you within your car buying. Irrespective of which motor vehicle you choose, kudos to you personally for contemplating a hybrid. Happy hunting and also have a safe and sound and satisfying driving practical experience!

Both AutomotiveCompass, a leading industry research firm, and Chrysler suppliers revealed the automaker has assured to green-light the ”TR Ram Life Style Truck”. Fabrication would start in October 2012 at the Windsor Assembly Plant, in Ontario.

This niche vehicle will likely become the ”spiritual successor” to the Dodge Dakota and rival the Honda Ridgeline, sources said. Chrysler is reportedly projecting yearly demand of fifteen thousand to 20,000 units.
