SmartTOP Add-On Convertible Top Controller for BMW 6 Series Gets New Design

Leave a comment

Manufacturer Mods4cars has completely overhauled the design of their SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller modules. Now the kits for BMW 6 Series Convertibles ship with the new product design. When the SmartTOP is installed, it is possible to open and close the top while driving at slow speeds and with one-touch operation. Additionally the top can be operated from afar using the original key fob remote.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), February 19th, 2016 — Effective immediately, Aftermarket Electronics Specialist Mods4cars ships the SmartTOP modules for BMW 6 Series E64 and F12 with the new custom designed module enclosure. The Add-On kit enables owners amongst other things to open and close the convertible top from the original key fob remote. The original keys do not need to be modified or reprogrammed.

Additionally the convertible top can be operated with convenient one-touch operation after the SmartTOP is installed. A quick touch is enough to start the full automatic process. Thanks to this feature it is possible to quickly close the top at the first sign of impending rainfall while returning both hands to the steering wheel immediately.

Bonus features further enhance the comfort: The windows can be opened or closed from the remote independently from the top. The doors can be programmed to unlock automatically when turning the ignition off in order to avoid having to pull the door handle twice. An extended mode can be activated which allows a top operation to continue while the engine is being started or stopped. The entire module can be temporarily disabled while retaining all other user settings for when it is re-enabled later. The module can be removed without leaving any trace or damage.

All functions can be programmed according to individual needs. The SmartTOP modules come with a built-in USB port. A Mac or PC can be connected to quickly configure the module or update the firmware. Mods4cars continually works on implementing new features and improving functionality while always considering customer wishes and input. Support software and firmware updates are available online, free of charge.

Now Mods4cars has optimized the hardware of the SmartTOP module itself. The custom designed module enclosures are 30% smaller, which means the module and can be installed in even tighter spaces in the car. Two LEDs now signal the status and help during installation. The included plug-and-play wiring harness makes installation quick and easy by just plugging in a connector.

The convenience add-on for BMW 6 Series Convertibles is available for 299 Euros + tax. Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo: SmartTOP Add-On kits are available for almost all popular brands and models of Convertibles and Roadsters.

Hardware Update: SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for Nissan 370Z by Mods4cars

Leave a comment

The aftermarket SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller made by Mods4cars for the Nissan 370Z Roadster now ships with a new product enclosure. SmartTOP allows, among other things, the convenient one-touch operation of the convertible top while driving at slow speeds as well as remote control of the top from the original key fob.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), July 24th, 2015 — Automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars has upgraded the product enclosure for the SmartTOP add-on convertible top controller modules. Just in time for the convertible top season 2015 the module for the Nissan 370Z Roadster has received the new, custom designed enclosure. The new shape and size of the module is not only slimmer and more esthetic looks wise, it also makes installation a lot easier.

Due to the smaller size it can be mounted in tighter spaces in the car and two integrated LEDs indicate when the module was installed correctly. The new enclosure also uses a lot less plastic and no more screws. This makes the product more environmentally friendly overall.

The SmartTOP kits make using the convertible top easier and more fun. They allow drivers to open and close the top with one-touch convenience and while driving at slow speeds of up to 40 km/h (~28 mph). It is no longer necessary to hold down the switch for the duration of the operation. A quick tap is enough to start a full automatic open or close cycle.

Additionally it is possible to control the top from a distance, using just the original factory key fob remote. A quick key combination on the remote triggers automatic opening or closing of the top. Users can select if they want windows up or down after opening the top. No changes are needed to be made to the original fobs or receiver system.

Apart from these two main features SmartTOP comes with a few bonus features, all of which can be individually configured to taste. The windows can be controlled separately from the top by remote for example and all windows can be closed at once with the console switch.

A chirp feature is built in that can, if desired, give a short audible confirmation when locking or unlocking the car. Doors can be auto-locked while driving and hazard flashers can be activated during remote operation. An extended mode allows turning the engine on or off while the top continues to run and the entire module can be disabled temporarily, if needed, while retaining all user settings for when it is re-enabled later.

The kit comes with a plug-in-between wiring adapter for easy installation. The module itself is equipped with a USB port for configuration and firmware updates. Support software as well as firmware updates are available free of charge online.

Mods4cars has been offering SmartTOP kits since 2001. The following popular brands are supported: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lamborghini, 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.

SmartTOP Add-On Convertible Top Controller for Ford Focus CC Receives Exterior Design Upgrade

Leave a comment

The SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller made by Mods4cars for the Ford Focus Convertible now ships in a new, improved, exclusive and custom designed product enclosure. The add-on module allows convertible top operation while driving at slow speeds with one-touch convenience. Additionally it is possible to open and close the top from the original factory key fob remote.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), May 01st, 2015 — Owners of the Ford Focus CC can make using their tops much easier and more fun with the SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller kit offered by automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars. The module allows opening and closing of the top with convenient one-touch operation and at slow speeds of up to 40 km/h (~28 mph). The top cycle is completed fully automatically by the module without the need to hold down the switch.

It is also possible to control the top from a distance by using the original key fob remote. A quick key sequence sets the top in motion. SmartTOP customers can air out their convertibles on hot days while still approaching the car. Being able to close the top from afar at the first sign of impending rain is a great bonus, too.

Each SmartTOP module comes with a host of bonus features, all of which can be programmed according to taste and needs. On the Ford Focus CC it is possible to enable hazard flashers during remote top operation and an extended mode allows turning the ignition on or off while the top operation continues. The entire module can be deactivated temporarily as well, while retaining all user programmed settings for when it is re-enabled.

The SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller can be installed by the end user. Manufacturer Mods4cars has now improved the shape and design of the module itself to make installation even easier. Two LEDs show status and error conditions and the module enclosure has become very small and slim to allow installation in tight spaces. The kit ships complete with a plug-in-between wiring adapter that simply connects the module to the car electronics.

“We constantly work on improving our products and extending functionality.“ says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “We regularly offer software updates and upgrades in addition to the occasional hardware change.” he continues. SmartTOP modules are equipped with a USB port for quick and easy firmware updates which are offered online and free of charge.

SmartTOP kits are available for the following popular brands: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and VW.

The SmartTOP kit for the Ford Focus CC is available for 249 Euros + tax.
