SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for Peugeot 207CC Now with New Wiring Adapter

The aftermarket SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller made by Mods4cars for Peugeot 207CC now ships with an improved Plug and Play wiring adapter harness. The new harness makes installation even easier and locks connections between module and vehicle electronics into place more securely.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), September 26th, 2016 — Automotive aftermarket electronics specialist Mods4cars has overhauled the design of the custom designed Plug-and-Play wiring harness for the SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller kit. The new connectors make it impossible to mate plug and socket the wrong way around. Now instead of simply connecting two plugs, there is a custom designed socket which mates perfectly and securely with the matching plug and includes a locking latch.

Using the Plug-and-Play wiring adapter harness which comes as part of the kit, installation of the SmartTOP module is extremely easy and gives 207CC owners a quick and simple way to obtain the benefits of having a SmartTOP controller installed: The top can be opened and closed while driving up to a speed of 50km/h (~32mph). A quick tap on the top switch is enough to start a full automatic operation. Additionally the top can be controlled from the original factory key remote. No changes are necessary to the original remote.

“We continually work on making installation of our products as simple as possible for our customers.” explains PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “We are very happy that we were able to further simplify the installation process for the Peugeot 207CC kit. Thanks to the new connector socket it is now impossible to damage any contacts or make a wrong connection and it is no longer necessary to secure the plugs as this new socket has a built-in locking mechanism which latches the connectors securely into place.” Sven Tornow continues.

Each SmartTOP module comes with a host of bonus features as well. In the case of the 207CC the windows can be controlled separately from the top by remote. All windows can be closed using one-touch operation from the center console switch. An extended mode can be activated, which allows the engine to be started or stopped during an ongoing top operation. The entire module can be temporarily disabled while retaining all user configurable settings.

All functions and features can be individually programmed by the user. A setup menu is available which uses the in-dash display to show clear text options. Configuring the module as well as updating the firmware is also possible via Mac or PC. The module comes with built-in USB port and support software is available online free of charge.

The SmartTOP kit for Peugeot 207CC ships with the new, improved Plug-and-Play adapter effective immediately and is available for 229 Euros + tax. SmartTOP kits are also available for Peugeot 307CC and 308CC. Mods4cars offers a wide variety of kits for popular brands such as: 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 Convertible Top Controller for Audi A5 Convertible and R8 Spyder now with Ultra-Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness

The aftermarket SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for the Audi A5 Convertible and the R8 Spyder now comes with a new, custom designed Ultra Plug-and-Play wiring adapter harness. With this brand new wiring harness Mods4cars has made the installation easier than ever before. The SmartTOP module allows operation of the top while driving at slow speeds with one-touch convenience as well as from afar with the original key fob remote.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), February 5th, 2016 — Aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars has improved the design of the wiring adapter which ships with the SmartTOP kit for the Audi A5 Convertible and R8 Spyder. The SmartTOP Convertible Top module now comes with a custom designed dual plug-in-between wiring adapter which uses OEM connectors and thereby makes the whole installation process a mere act of connecting plugs.

“We are pleased to be able to offer our SmartTOP for the Audi A5 Convertible and the R8 Spyder now with a further improved wiring adapter.“ says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “As a result all that needs to be done to install our kit is to connect OEM plugs which lock and latch perfectly. Wire taps are not being used any longer.” Sven Tornow continues. “This allows for a quick and straightforward installation of our kit by pretty much anyone in order to enjoy the benefits of the SmartTOP product.”

Once the SmartTOP module is installed it is possible to open and close the top at slow speeds of up to 60 km/h (~38mph) and with one-touch convenience. It is no longer necessary to hold down the top switch for the duration of the operation. Hands can return to the steering wheel immediately.

Additionally it is possible to control the top from the original key fob remote. “On hot days our customers can already open their top while still approaching their car.” explains Sven Tornow. In the opposite case the top can be quickly closed from afar at the first sign of impending rainfall. No changes are necessary to the existing key remotes or receiver system.

The following bonus features are included as well: The windows can be lowered and raised separately by remote. The console top switch direction can be reversed, if desired. On the A5 the side blinkers can be activated during remote top operation. When locking the car, a short horn signal (chirp) can be activated (A5) and an extended mode can be activated which allows starting or stopping the engine while a top operation continues. The entire module can be deactivated temporarily while retaining all user settings for when it is reactivated later on.

All functions can be programmed to individual needs. Configuration of the module is possible in the car or with a Mac or PC. SmartTOP modules are equipped with a standard USB port which allows connecting it to a computer for quick and easy configuration and firmware updates. Support software and firmware updates are available online and free of charge.

The SmartTOP convenience add-on kit for Audi A5 Convertible and R8 Spyder is available for 269 Euros + tax. Kits are also available for Audi A3, A4 and TT. Mods4cars has SmartTOP modules available for most popular brands such as: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and VW.
