SmartTOP Add-On Convertible Top Controller for Porsche Boxster 981 Gets Design Upgrade

Aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars has revamped the design of their SmartTOP Convertible Top Controllers. Effective immediately the kit for the Porsche Boxster 981 comes with the new enclosure. With the SmartTOP installed it is possible to open and close the top from a distance using the original factory remote fob. Additionally, convenient one-touch operation while driving is available for the center console switch.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), August 24th, 2016 — Mods4cars has begun shipping their SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller module for the Porsche 981 Boxster equipped with the new product enclosure. One of the signature functions of the add-on kit is the ability to control the top from a distance by just using the factory key fob. The original fobs do not need to be modified or replaced.

Additionally owners can open or close the top, even while driving at slow speeds, with just the touch of a button. It is no longer necessary to hold down the switch for the duration of the operation. The driver gets to put both hands back on the wheel quickly.

The SmartTOP comes with a handful of bonus features that further add convenience: The windows can be controlled separately from the top by remote. It is possible to reduce the radio volume when starting the car and an extended mode can be activated which allows the engine to be started or stopped while an ongoing top operation continues. The entire module can be temporarily disabled while retaining all user settings for when it is re-enabled later.

All functions and settings can be programmed to individual taste. SmartTOP modules come with a built-in USB port for quick configuration and firmware updates via Mac or Windows PC. Mods4cars is invested in continually improving their products and always listens to customer input. Support software and firmware updates are available online, free of charge.

Now Mods4cars has optimized the hardware of the SmartTOP module as well. The exclusive, custom designed enclosures are 30% smaller and thereby allow installation in even tighter places in the car. Two LEDs show status information and aid during the installation.

The convenience add-on kit for the Porsche Boxster 981 is available for 269 Euros + tax.

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

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 Controller Made by Mods4cars Now Available for New Ferrari California Models

The add-on SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller kit made and offered by automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars is available effective immediately for the new Ferrari California models “30” and “T”. It allows owners to open and close the top from a distance using the original key fob remote. It also adds one-touch convenience to the center console switch.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), June 28th, 2016 — A few weeks ago Mods4cars launched the SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for the Ferrari California. Effective immediately all models are supported by the kit, including California 30 and California T. “We are happy to announce that we were able to supply our modules for the latest models quite quickly.” explains PR-Manager Sven Tornow.

The SmartTOP kits are aftermarket products that can be installed into the car by anyone. They offer smart functions and features that make using the convertible top easier and more fun. With the kit installed it is possible to raise and lower the top from a distance by using the original key fob remote. “One can press a simple key combination on the fob to open the top while still approaching the car.” Sven Tornow continues. The original remote fob does not need to be altered or replaced.

Additionally it is possible to control the top from the console switch with one-touch convenience. The switch does not need to be held down for the entire duration of the operation. A quick tap is enough to start a full automatic cycle. “This feature saves time” Sven Tornow points out “as the SmartTOP user can just tap the top switch, get out and lock the car, while the top continues to close.”

The position of the windows can be programmed as well. Some people like to drive with the top down and windows down; others prefer the windows to be up. It is worth mentioning that top and windows can be controlled independently from the remote. Another setting allows the rear windows to automatically rise for better wind deflection.

An extended mode can be enabled, which allows the engine to be started or stopped while an ongoing top operation continues. All functions and features can be programmed according to individual taste and preference. The module comes equipped with a USB port for simple firmware upgrades and programming via Windows PC or Mac. Support software and updates are available free of charge. Settings can also be programmed directly in the car using a sophisticated setup procedure.

The SmartTOP kit comes complete with a custom designed plug-in-between wiring adapter. Installation is easy and can be done by anyone. The SmartTOP module is connected to the car’s electronics by simply connecting OEM plugs. No wires need to be cut or spliced into; it is always possible to remove everything without leaving any damage.

Since 2002 Mods4cars has been developing and offering SmartTOP kits. All of these following popular brands are now supported: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and Volkswagen. SmartTOP kits are also available for other Ferrari models, such as 360 and F430 Spider.

The SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller kit is available for 299 Euros + tax.

The new SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller made by Mods4cars will be available shortly for the Ferrari California. The add-on module allows one-touch operation from the console switch as well as remote control of the top from afar using the original key fob.

The convertible top can be opened or closed via one-touch operation from the console switch. A quick tap is enough to start the automatic top open or close process. It is no longer necessary to hold down the switch for the entire time.

Additionally the SmartTOP module allows owners to use the original key fob remote to open or close the top. While still approaching the vehicle, the top can already be lowered. The SmartTOP customer gets in, starts the engine and can start driving with the top already down. It is of course also possible to close the top of the parked car form a distance at the first sign of impending rainfall. No modifications are necessary to the keys or receiver system.

The SmartTOP module also comes with a few bonus features for added convenience: The windows can be lowered or raised by remote and the rear windows can be programmed to raise or stay down after opening the top. An extended mode can be activated which allows starting or stopping of the engine during an ongoing top operation. The entire module can be temporarily disabled while retaining all other user settings for when it is re-enabled later.

Each SmartTOP module can be programmed according to individual taste. An integrated USB port allows connecting a Mac or PC which provides a quick and easy way to configure the settings or update the module firmware. Support software as well as firmware updates are available online, free of charge.

The installation of the kit is straight forward and simple. A plug-and-play wiring harness is part of the kit. It quickly connects the module with the vehicle electronics using perfect fit OEM connectors. “Installation is as easy and connecting a few plugs.” Sven Tornow demonstrates. No wires need to be cut or spliced; the kit can be removed at any time without leaving any damage or trace.

SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller kits are already available for the Ferrari 360 and F430 Spider. The new kit for Ferrari California will be available this November for 249 Euros + tax.
