SmartTOP Convertible Top Products for Mercedes-Benz E-Class and CLK Receive Design Refresh

Leave a comment

The SmartTOP Convertible Top Controllers made by Mods4cars allow owners to open or close the top while driving at slow speeds with just a quick tap as well as fully automatically from the original key fob remote. Effective immediately all modules for Mercedes-Benz E-Class and CLK Convertibles come equipped with the new product enclosure. Apart from being a better and more attractive design, this new enclosure also helps to make installation even easier.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), March 31st, 2014 — The add-on SmartTOP Convertible Top Controllers offered by aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars are meant to simplify operation of the top. They make it possible for owners of Mercedes-Benz E-Class and CLK convertibles to use the center console top switch while the car is moving at slow speeds. All that is needed is a quick tap on the switch to trigger full automatic “one-touch” operation. It is neither necessary to stop and pull over, nor does the switch have to be held down for the duration of the operation.

Additionally, the SmartTOP module allows top operation from the original key fob remote with one-touch convenience. After using a quick button combination on the key fob, the top opens or closes fully automatically. No changes are necessary to the original key fob transmitters or receiver system.

Next to these two main features the SmartTOP add-on kits for E-Class and CLK convertibles offer a host of bonus features: The windows can be opened or closed from the remote and independently from the top. All windows can be opened or closed one-touch style from the console switch. The hazard flashers can be activated during remote top operation and it is possible to activate a short audible confirmation sound when locking and unlocking the car (CLK only). On both models top and window operation from the remote is possible up to the full RF range of the remote. All features are individually programmable and adjustable to taste. An extended mode even allows starting or stopping the engine during an ongoing top operation. The entire module can be temporarily disabled while retaining all user configurable settings.

“We constantly work on improving our existing products“, says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “We are always happy to implement new features as a result of customer inquiries.” But not only software is being improved on continually. Recently the enclosure of the intelligent top opener was completely redesigned. Effective immediately all SmartTOP kits for Mercedes-Benz E-Class and CLK Convertibles come equipped with the new enclosure.

The new product enclosure was designed and developed exclusively by Mods4cars for the use case at hand. It is slimmer and more streamlined and can be installed in tighter spots in the car. Use of less plastic and omission of screws also make it a better choice for the environment. Two LEDs now offer an unparalleled level of status and diagnostics information during installation. To make installation extremely simple, the SmartTOP kits also come with plug-and-play wiring adapters which simply connect the module to the vehicle electronics. User programmable settings can be adjusted via clear text in-dash menu or via USB setup and support software available for Windows and Mac.

SmartTOP kits are available for Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.

Current pricing for these Mercedes-Benz SmartTOP kits starts at just 249 Euros + tax.

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 Las Vegas 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.

SmartTOP Convertible Top Control Module for Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder Available Soon

Leave a comment

The SmartTOP aftermarket Convertible Top Control Module for Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder will be available soon. The add-on kit allows using the top with one-touch convenience while driving at slow speeds as well as controlling the top and windows from the original key fob remote. It is possible to reverse the direction in which the console top switch needs to be pushed or pulled.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), March 13th, 2014 — Aftermarket automotive specialist Mods4cars, manufacturer of the add-on SmartTOP kits, just announced that the new module for Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder will be available within the next couple of weeks. “We are happy to be able to bring our signature convenience features to owners of Lamborghini Gallardo owners very soon. In addition to the main features we were able to integrate a lot of extra functionality that makes owning the convertible so much more fun.” says PR-Manager Sven Tornow.

The SmartTOP Convertible Top modules allow drivers to open and close the top while driving at slow speeds and with one-touch convenience. It is no longer necessary to pull over and hold down the switch for the duration of the operation. The top may be used up to a user programmable speed of 40km/h (~28mph). Thanks to the one-touch feature it is not necessary to keep holding the switch down. A quick tap is enough to start full automatic top operation.

Additionally the top can be operated from the original factory remote key fob. This allows owners to lower the top while still approaching the car. The top can also be closed fully automatically while walking away or from afar at the first sign of impending rainfall. No changes are necessary to the original keys or receiver system.

The SmartTOP module for Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder also offers a host of bonus features. A highlight is the ability to reverse the direction of the center console switch. Instead of pulling to lower and pushing to raise the top, the direction can be reversed to work in a much more intuitive way, if desired.

More features are available, all of which can be user configured according to taste. The windows can be activated by remote independently from the top, a chirp feature gives off brief horn signals upon locking or unlocking the car, hazard blinkers can be activated during remote top operation. An extended mode allows owners to even start or stop the engine while the top continues full automatic operation. It is also possible to temporarily disable the entire module while retaining all other settings.

Every SmartTOP module can be configured and updated via the integrated USB port and available support software for PC and Mac. Software and product firmware updates are available online, free of charge.

The SmartTOP Convertible Top kit for Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder will be equipped with the new, custom designed Mods4cars product enclosure. This custom designed plastic shell was specifically designed for the SmartTOP product, is very sleek and slim and offers perfect protection for the embedded connectors and LEDs. A plug and play wiring harness is also part of the kit. It allows a very quick installation of the module by simply connecting a few plugs with the car electronics.

Mods4cars offers kits for the following popular brands: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and VW. The add-on kit for the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder will be available for 249 Euros + tax.

From Street Stray to Outer Space Story Focuses on Human Emotions During Cold War Era

Leave a comment

Before man journeyed into space, animals were sent into the cosmos. The Laika Mission is a fictional story based on a real-life street stray that became part of the Soviet Union’s effort to win the space race.

Houston, TX (USA), March 08, 2014 — Author Mark Phillips, a retired naval officer who spent part of his career hunting Soviet submarines, said The Laika Mission focuses on not only history and science, but the emotion of the world’s fascination with space during the 1950’s. His story is about the launch of the Soviet Union’s second satellite which carried special cargo – a dog named Laika.

“Readers will follow her journey from street stray to space, and meet her young Russian dog handler, Dimitri, who readies her for the historic flight,” Phillips said. “The story brings Dimitri and Laika together with a venerable rocket scientist and two military doctors amongst the backdrop of a communist country trying to shake the oppression of the past.”

Published by Halo Publishing International, The Laika Mission will intrigue readers from teen-age to adult as they wonder if the dog will make it around the Earth and return home safely or have her chances for survival doomed by the rush to the cosmos. “We mostly focus on the politics and science of the United States race to space against the Soviet Union, but Author Mark Phillips brings out the emotion involved in the human desire to be number one in the world,” said Publisher Lisa Umina.

Phillips said he wanted to show how people working on the mission felt. “I wanted to show the human element. We tend to forget that the scientists and others involved were human beings, not simply our enemies.”

Welch Publishing Releases New Report on Improving Profits and Cash Flow

Leave a comment

Welch Publishing has released a new special report filled with effective ways to improve business profits and cash flow. The eye-opening free report contains nearly 40 pages of ideas that can yield dramatic results.

Hanson, MA (USA), March 06, 2014 — Welch Publishing is pleased to announce the release of a new special report with a plethora of effective strategies that businesses can begin implementing immediately to enhance their profits and cash flow. The special report is aptly entitled In Pursuit of Profits. More than 50 control, expense, reduction and income producing strategies you can start using today to dramatically improve the bottom line of your company or the direction of your career.

With nearly 40 pages, the report covers a broad array of issues that impact almost every business, from credit and credit collections to customer service, advertising and insurance. For example, under credit and credit collections, the report discusses pursuing uncollected debts, errors in delayed payments, delayed billing, billing according to invoice size, identifying bogus invoices, paying early for a discount, and paying bills according to the terms. The report also discusses a myriad of other important topics, including:
* Following up on every sales lead to avoid wasting money
* Combining products and services for automatic cross selling
* Hiring and promoting the most capable person—regardless of seniority
* Hiring outside experts to control costs and maximize results
* Letting suppliers help lower your costs
* Letting suppliers be your “bank”
* Getting free stuff

The informative report was adapted from the ebook In Pursuit of Profits: How To At Least Double Your Profits Without Increasing Your Sales. The book, authored by Derrick Welch, is packed with more than 1,000 cost control, expense reduction and income generating tactics to help companies significantly improve their cash flow and overall earnings. Welch—who spent three decades in senior management positions with both large and small companies—created the ebook and report to not only address business owners, but to also help employees and managers get ahead by showing them how to make a bigger impact in their company.

“While the free report and ebook are written to show business owners and executives how to dramatically increase profits and improve cash flow, they will also help employees and managers improve job stability and move ahead, as ideas that improve the bottom line of a business can only help an employee advance,” Welch said.

However, Welch does more than just write about cost-saving strategies; he has successfully implemented them. For example, his concepts helped increase the profits of one company by more than 1,000 percent in just two years. They also helped reduce the cost of goods sold in another company by more than 10 percent over an 18-month period—resulting in an effective dollar savings of more than $350,000 or $1,405 per business day.

Welch’s special report and ebook provide access to many of the same tactics that have worked for him over the years. For a limited time, anyone who orders In Pursuit of Profits: How To At Least Double Your Profits Without Increasing Your Sales will also receive a complimentary copy of Welch’s other ebook Defy Mediocrity. Choose to be Uncommon. Think of the Alternative.

About Derrick Welch:
Derrick Welch is passionate about helping companies of all sizes and in all industries dramatically increase profits and improve cash flow. He has spent more than 30 years in senior management positions, developing his expertise in operations, administration, production and marketing. Welch has a track record of achieving impressive results in the corporate world. He previously served as vice president of a major Boston-based advertising agency at the age of 27, as well as chief operating officer and vice president of operations of a nationwide multi-million-dollar company when he was just 31. Welch has poured the time-tested strategies he learned in the trenches into Welch Publishing and his insightful ebooks, which are having a profound impact on people’s lives.

SmartTOP Add-On Convertible Top Controller For Mazda MX-5 Now With New Enclosure

Leave a comment

Effective immediately, all retrofit SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller modules for the Mazda MX-5 are being shipped with a new product enclosure. The sleek new shape was custom designed for Mods4cars and gives the module not only a more streamlined appearance but adds convenience when installing the product. The SmartTOP module allows drivers to open and close the convertible top while driving and with one-touch operation.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), February 21st, 2014 — The SmartTOP Convertible Top add-on module designed by aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars for the Mazda MX-5 is a kit that can be installed by anyone. It allows drivers to operate the top while driving at speeds of up to 60 km/h (~38mph) with added convenience. A quick tap on the console button is sufficient.

“Every convertible driver knows the scenarios: Sunshine turns into cloudy skies followed by a sudden rainfall. Now all that matters is being able to stop quickly to close the top. Or hoping that a red light won’t change while the top is still closing.” says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. With the SmartTOP module the top can be used even while driving at slow speeds, so the top-down experience comes with more peace of mind.

The MX-5 compatible module can be used in three ways. 1. After unlatching the mechanical lock the top can be lowered by holding down the appropriate switch on the dash and raised the same way. 2. One-Touch operation. Same as before but the top opens or closes fully automatically after just a quick touch. 3. Auto Feature: When this setting is activated, the top will fully automatically lower itself right after the latch is disengaged and without the need to press the top down button at all. Closing is done the same way as in 2. All three options allow use of the top while the car is moving and without the need to shift into neutral or park gear.

Mods4cars has improved the design of the SmartTOP product itself and effective immediately all modules for the Mazda MX-5 come in the new, slimmer and more streamlined enclosure. The new shape was custom designed to fit the components perfectly and to encapsulate the product fully. All LEDs and connectors, including the USB port, are now enclosed in order to be optimally protected.

The new enclosure is also smaller than before and thus allows the product to be installed in tighter spots. It is more eco-friendly by no longer requiring screws and by using less plastic. Additionally two LEDs were fully integrated that aid during installation. They show current status, trouble codes and signal a correct installation of the module.

In order to make installation as simple as possible, a custom designed Plug-and-Play wiring harness is part of the kit. It uses genuine OEM connectors for a perfect and secure fit. No wires need to be spliced or cut. It simply connects in between two connectors and the SmartTOP module. It is possible to remove the kit without leaving any traces.

The SmartTOP module can be programmed according to individual needs. It is possible to configure the maximum speed allowed for top operation as well as other settings. The entire module can be temporarily disabled as well while retaining all user settings. The module comes equipped with a standard USB port for easy configuration and firmware updates via PC or Mac. All firmware updates are provided by Mods4cars online and free of charge.

The convertible top kit for Mazda MX-5 is available for 249 Euros + tax. Mods4cars SmartTOP modules are available for: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and VW.

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 Las Vegas 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.
