Removal is possible at any time without leaving any trace or damage.

The SmartTOP Targa Top Controller for the new Porsche 911 Targa comes in the new, exclusive Mods4cars product enclosure which was engineered in house for perfect fit.

SmartTOP Add-On Convertible Top Controller for Peugeot 307 CC and 308 CC Redesigned

Leave a comment

The aftermarket SmartTOP Convertible Top Controllers made by Mods4cars for Peugeot 307 CC and 308 CC received a facelift redesign. They now ship in a new, custom designed module enclosure, specifically made by Mods4cars for the purpose. It is smaller and slimmer and thereby easier to install in tight locations in the car. Two LEDs show status information and aid during the install process.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), March 25th, 2015 — The SmartTOP Convertible Top Controllers offered by aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars provide simple and easy roof controls for convertibles. On Peugeot 307 CC and 308 CC the product allows opening and closing of the top while the car is moving, up to 40 km/h (~28mph). Thanks to the one-touch operation, the top switch only needs to be tapped once. It is no longer necessary to pull over and hold the switch down for the entire time.

Additionally the top can be controlled from the original key fob remote by issuing a key combination. This makes it possible to open the top before getting in the car. Vice versa it is also possible to close the top from a distance at the first sign of impending rainfall. No changes are necessary to the original key fobs or receiver system.

Apart from these two main features, SmartTOP modules for Peugeot 307 CC and 308 CC also come with a few bonus features: Windows can be controlled separately from the top by remote. The “all windows” switch in the car can be made to close all windows with one-touch convenience. And a windows comfort feature allows the driver to still operate all windows for up to 60 seconds after turning the ignition off. An extended mode can be activated which allows the top to continue running while the engine is being started or stopped. The entire module can be deactivated temporarily while retaining all user configurable settings.

All features of the module can be configured according to individual needs. Configuration of the module is extremely simple. Mods4cars was able to control the center display in the dash to show a clear text setup menu which shows all functions and settings of the top module in an easy to understand way.

Now Mods4cars redesigned the looks of their smart modules. “The new product enclosure was exclusively designed by and made for Mods4cars to perfectly meet all the needs of the module.” explains PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “It is about 30% smaller and can be fitted easily in tight spaces in the car. Additionally there are two LEDs now that show status and troubleshooting information in order to make installation simple and straight forward.” he continues.

The SmartTOP modules come equipped with a standard USB port. This port allows quick and easy configuration of the module via Mac or PC as well as firmware updates. Support software and updates are available free of charge online. The kit comes with a full plug-and-play wiring adapter harness for quick and simple connection of the module to the car electronics. No wires need to be cut or spliced, no soldering is necessary and everything can later be removed without leaving any damage or trace.

SmartTOP kits by Mods4cars 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller by Mods4cars Now Available for Audi R8 Spyder

Leave a comment

The aftermarket SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller module offered by Mods4cars is now available for the Audi R8 Spyder. It allows drivers to open or close the top from the factory remote key fob or from the center console switch, using one-touch convenience and while the car is moving. A custom designed wiring harness is included.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), November 12th, 2013 — Effective immediately, the SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller offered by aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars is available for the Audi R8 Spyder. It adds convenient and intelligent functionality to the car. On one hand the convertible top can be opened using quick and automatic one-touch operation and while the car is in motion. It is no longer necessary to hold down the switch for the duration of the operation. SmartTOP owners just tap the switch briefly to activate the top.

On the other hand the module allows top operation from the original key fob remote. “Opening and closing the top from a distance by using the original key fob is a very popular feature.” says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “Our customers can start opening the top while they are still approaching the car.” Sven Tornow continues. “This can come in handy to air out the car quickly in situations where direct sunlight has heated the inside up. Also it is possible to quickly close the top from afar at the first sign of rain.” All that is necessary is the original key fob remote. No physical or programming or changes are done to the original remote fobs.

Each module comes with a few bonus features such as an extended mode that allows top operation to continue while the engine is turned on or off. This allows drivers to start the top operation from the remote, get in and start driving, while the top finishes its cycle automatically.

Just like the well thought out functionality, installation has been designed to be as easy as possible. A custom designed plug-and-play wiring harness is part of the kit. This harness uses original OEM plugs to guarantee perfect and secure fit while simply connecting the module with the car electronics.

The SmartTOP for Audi R8 Spyder comes in the new, exclusive Mods4cars product enclosure. This custom fitted enclosure was designed with ergonomics and sleek looks in mind. It’s very slim and easily fits in any hollow space in the car. Two LEDs aid during the installation process by showing useful status information.

Configuration of the module is simplified by the standard USB port present on each module. It allows users to use a Windows or Mac support software to adjust personal settings and update the product firmware. “We continuously work on bringing new and improved functionality to existing modules. Updates are available online and free of charge, so even our existing customers always profit from updates.” says Sven Tornow. Programming can also be done in the car, without the need to remove the module.

The add-on kit for the Audi R8 Spyder is available for 249 Euros + tax. For other Audi models such as the convertible editions of A3, A4, A5 and TT roadster SmartTOP kits are available as well. All major brands are supported: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.
