Video-In-Motion Add-On Module “SmartTV” by Mods4cars for many BMW Models

Aftermarket electronics specialist Mods4cars is now offering their retrofit SmartTV video-in-motion module for many BMW models. It allows the passenger full use of the TV- and DVD playback system by the while the car is moving. The module can be enabled and disabled via a specialized, yet simple setup procedure using the blinker stalk.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), Tuesday – February 7th, 2012 — Effective immediately, passengers in many BMW models equipped with TV- or DVD playback equipment get to enjoy full audio and video playback while the car is in motion. The SmartTV aftermarket video-in-motion kit offered by Mods4cars bypasses the restrictions imposed on video playback by the manufacturer and lets passengers operate video playback equipment and enjoy video content on the go while the car is in motion. This allows for example front and back seat passengers to watch DVD movies on long road trips.

“We are delighted to offer our customers a professional solution when it comes to video-in-motion products”, says PR manager Sven Tornow. “What makes our product special is the level of integration into the car electronics. It can be turned on or off quickly on demand using the blinker stalk, giving the driver full control”, he continues. This is a non-volatile solution: The video unlocker is a hardware kit which connects to the car’s data bus system. All functionality stays in place even after routine DVD/Navigation system software updates at the dealer.

The SmartTV module was designed and is sold by aftermarket specialist Mods4cars; A company with 10 years of experience and expertise in developing the SmartTOP convertible top controllers. These kits allow one-touch operation of the convertible top while driving as well as putting top and windows up or down from the factory key fob remote. “This time around you don’t need a convertible to benefit from one of our convenience add-ons.” Mr. Tornow concludes.

All SmartTV modules come equipped with a standard USB port, giving end-users full control over the module’s functions via a PC setup program as well as firmware updates, if necessary. Updates are available free of charge for the life of the product. Once purchased, a Mods4cars module virtually never becomes obsolete, especially in cases where other solutions fail after software updates regularly done during routine maintenance at the dealership.

The SmartTV video-in-motion module is compatible with BMW 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 series, X5 and Z4.

Mods4cars ( http://www.mods4cars.com ) also offers SmartTV modules for Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, Skoda and Volkswagen.

SmartTOP Convertible Top Module for BMW 1 Series and Mini Now With Plug-And-Play Wiring

The SmartTOP convertible top add-on module offered for BMW 1 series and Mini convertibles by after-market electronics specialist Mods4cars now comes with a custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter. The module allows one-touch top operation while driving at slow speeds as well as opening and closing of the top from afar via the original factory remote fob. Installation is done by simply plugging the custom-fit wiring adapter in between two connectors.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), Friday – December 09, 2011 — Effective immediately, Mods4cars includes a new, custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter with all SmartTOP module orders for BMW 1 series and Mini convertibles. The adapter uses OEM plugs and connectors to ensure a perfect fit and simple connection between the module and the car electronics. Installation is simplified to the point that it can be carried out by anyone without special knowledge. No individual wires need to be handled, no cutting or splicing into wires means no permanent changes to the vehicle.

The SmartTOP module offers BMW 1 series and Mini convertible owners an array of useful convenience features and adds functionality to their cars. The convertible top can be operated with a single touch of the switch, at speeds of up to 40km/h (~28mph). It is no longer necessary to pull over and hold down the top switch. Opening and closing of the top is also possible, up to the full RF range, via simple commands from the existing car key fob. The original remote does not need to be reprogrammed or altered.

“Thanks to our one-touch feature top operation is now a breeze – Quick and uncomplicated, even from the remote”, says PR manager Sven Tornow. On Mini convertibles it is even possible to enter command sequences to determine the desired position of the sunroof/convertible top combo. Touch the switch once to open the sunroof only, touch it twice to open the top, touch it three times to open top and all windows. All these options are also available from the key remote transmitter. “The cumbersome act of holding down the switch and letting go just in the right moment is a thing of the past. The driving fun can start right away”, Mr. Tornow concludes. With the kit installed, all it takes is a single tap to fully automatically close the windows, top and sunroof, should drivers get caught in a summer rainstorm.

Some additional features present on this as well as many of the company’s other add-on modules are separate window control from the remote, one-touch closing of all windows from the center console switch, automatic door locking and unlocking and an extended mode where turning the engine on or off does not interrupt an ongoing top operation. Also worth mentioning is the master switch, which allows turning the entire module on or off quickly, while retaining the user’s individual preference settings.

All SmartTOP convertible top add-on modules made by Mods4cars come with a standard USB port, a USB cable is included with every kit. This allows end users to configure the module or update the firmware with any regular Windows PC. Support software as well as firmware updates for the modules are available online, for the life of the product and free of charge.

Modules are available for Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo. Mods4cars offers a SmartTOP kit for almost every modern convertible on the roads today.

SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller Kit for BMW 3 Series and Z4 Roadster Now Ships with Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness

The SmartTOP convertible top control module offered by aftermarket specialist Mods4cars for BMW 3 series convertibles and Z4 roadsters now ships with a plug-and-play wiring adapter. It allows opening and closing the top while driving at slow speeds and adds one-touch convenience as well as one-touch operation of the top from afar via the original factory key fob.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), Friday – October 21st, 2011 — Effective immediately BMW 3 series convertible and Z4 roadster owners get to enjoy the conveniences offered by the SmartTOP series while keeping installation efforts to a minimum, thanks to the new, custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter which now comes standard with each module. The kit, once installed, allows convenient top operation from the original factory key fob without the need to modify or reprogram the key.

Additionally the convertible top can be used at slow speeds of up to 40km/h (~28 mph) with the added convenience of simple one-touch operation. The distinct disadvantage of having to pull over and hold down the switch is a thing of the past. As a result the top is used more often, even on shorter trips.

“We are very happy with the solution we have found for such a simple product installation” says PR manager Sven Tornow and adds that the custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter makes installing the kit a very simple and straightforward task. All connections between the car electronics and SmartTOP module are original manufacturer style plugs and sockets, guaranteeing a 100% fit and making it absolutely foolproof.
“The usual concept of having to deal with individual wires or even cutting and splicing is completely absent.” Mr. Tornow concludes.

Each module comes with a hand full of extra features, all of which can be individually enabled, disabled and configured: Windows can be controlled separately by remote or one-touch closed using the all-windows switch in the driver’s side door. Doors can be set to automatically unlock upon turning off the engine and the trunk access feature can be activated with no need to hold down the button on the remote. Even the motorized rear view mirrors (if option present) can be folded in or out from the remote. Top operation can be programmed to continue while the engine is started or the ignition turned off and the entire module can be disabled if needed.

An integrated industry standard USB port allows end-users to configure the module with a laptop or PC and update the product firmware (available free of charge online) if necessary. “Updates will always remain free, for the life of the product” explains Tornow, “once you have purchased a SmartTOP module, you will never get stranded with an obsolete product – an absolutely unparalleled service in this market segment.”

SmartTOP convertible top kits by Mods4cars are available for: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.

The SmartTOP kit for BMW 3 series and Z4 roadsters retails for 299.00 Euros + tax.

Mods4cars ( http://www.mods4cars.com ) 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 California 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 roof controller for the Mercedes-Benz SLK R172 Roadster

The SmartTOP after-market roof controller by Mods4cars has been available for order since 3/28/2011, only two days after the introduction of the Mercedes-Benz SLK Roadster (R172). A quick push of a button allows the driver to open and close the roof while driving slowly. The roof can also be operated from a distance using the original car key.

Ocean, NJ, April 13, 2011 — Only two days after the official introduction of the Mercedes-Benz SLK R172 Roadster, Mods4cars released their SmartTOP roof controller to provide new owners with even more comfort and functionality. The module makes it possible to open and close the roof from a distance (over 20m) using the original remote fob and without having to change or program the original car key.

Thanks to the SmartTOP module, the roof can be accessed while driving up to a speed of 60 km/h. The One-Touch function ensures that a quick push of a button in the car’s interior is enough to open and close the top. This eliminates the need to push and hold the roof button and makes the car more convenient to use while open.

“We’re delighted that we can offer our convenient module to all new owners of the SLK R172 in such a short period of time and bring them even more enjoyment and comfort” explains PR rep Sven Tornow. This newest development also makes it possible to open or close just the windows from outside of the car using the remote fob.

The new rooftop controller can be completely deactivated if needed. Additional functions can also be programmed according to personal preference, such as ensuring that rooftop movement is not interrupted by starting or stopping the car’s engine. Thanks to the standard UBS connector, the SmartTOP convertible controller can be configured and upgraded with free downloadable software updates.

The SmartTOP after-market rooftop module is also available for the following cars: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.

This enhanced comfort module for the SLK R172 Roadster is now available for 249 Euro + tax.

After-market Convertible Top Remote Control for Infiniti G Convertible

The new retrofit SmartTOP convertible top control by after-market automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars will be available in spring of 2011. It will allow opening and closing of the top at the touch of a button, even while driving slowly, as well as operation of the top via the original factory remote fob.

Ocean, NJ, January 13, 2011 — Just in time for the start of the convertible top season this spring, the SmartTOP module offered by Mods4cars will be available for the Infiniti G convertible. It adds convenience features such as opening and closing the top from afar via the factory remote fob, without requiring a new remote or reprogramming the existing one. It also adds one-touch top operation from the center console button, even while driving up to 40km/h (~27mph). Not having to stop and hold down the top switch allows for the car to be used top-down more often.

“We are happy to announce that our intelligent SmartTOP module will be available to Infiniti G convertible owners this spring. They will be able to enjoy the extra convenience soon.” Says PR-manager Sven Tornow. This newest product even adds important features omitted by Infiniti like raising all windows after the top is closed. Opening and closing of all four windows simultaneously by double-tapping the top switch or from the factory remote is now also possible.

Like all other products of the SmartTOP line the module can be quickly turned off if necessary and all convenience features are programmable to taste. Examples are extended operation mode which allows starting or stopping the engine while the top is running or short beep (chirp) signals when locking or unlocking the car. Automatic locking of the doors when driving is also possible with the module. Being equipped with a standard USB port, the module can also be configured conveniently via PC software and it’s firmware updated if necessary, both available free of charge online.

It is not just Infiniti owners who benefit from SmartTOP controllers. Mods4cars supplies its SmartTOP comfort controller for almost all convertible and roadster models from a wide variety of manufacturers, including Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.

The Infiniti G convertible module will be available in spring of 2011 for 249.00 Euro + tax.
