New Enclosure: SmartTOP Add-On Convertible Top Controller for Renault Megane CC by Mods4cars

Leave a comment

The SmartTOP aftermarket Convertible Top Controllers made by Mods4cars for the Renault Megane CC II and III now come in a newly designed product enclosure. This enclosure was custom designed for the purpose and due to its slimmer nature allows for an easier and more convenient installation in the car. Two LEDs now help during the installation process.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), February 24th, 2017 — The SmartTOP Add-On Convertible Top Controller made by aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars adds simple and convenient controls for the convertible top. The SmartTOP modules for Renault Megane CC II and III allow top operation while driving at slow speeds of up to 40 km/h (~28mph). Thanks to one-touch operation the top switch just needs to be tapped once. It is no longer necessary to pull over and hold down the switch for the entire duration of the top operation.

Additionally the top can be controlled from the original factory key fob remote. A quick key combination on the remote activates a fully automatic top operation. This makes it possible to open the top before getting in or closing the top from afar at the first sign of impending rainfall. The existing remote fob does not need to be altered or replaced.

An extended mode which allows the engine to be turned on or off while a top operation continues can be activated as well. On cars equipped with the keycard hands free option, the top can also be controlled via the touch door handle (Megane CC III). All functions and features can be adjusted to individual taste and the entire module can be temporarily disabled while retaining all user settings for when it is re-enabled later.

The SmartTOP modules come equipped with a USB port for easy setup and firmware updates via Windows PC or Mac. Support software and updates are available online, free of charge. The SmartTOP kits come with a plug-and-play wiring adapter, custom manufactured with OEM connectors for a perfect and secure fit. Installation merely consists of plugging in some connectors. No wires need to be cut or spliced into. Everything can be removed without leaving any damage.

Mods4cars now overhauled the design of the smart convertible top controllers themselves. “The new enclosure was custom designed by Mods4cars for the purpose.” explains PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “It is about 30% smaller than before and very slim, thereby making installation in tight spaces in the car even easier. Additionally there are two LEDs to show the current status and to aid during installation.” Sven Tornow continues.

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.

Leave a comment

The SmartTOP convertible control system from Mods4cars is now also available for the new Porsche 718 Boxster. The retrofitted comfort module allows the opening and closing of the convertibles top via the original car key from afar. In addition, the roof can be operated via the console button with one-touch. The cumbersome pressing is thereby no longer necessary.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), January 31st, 2017 — The company Mods4cars, developer of the retrofitable SmartTOP roof control systems, now offers an intelligent solution for the new Porsche 718 Boxster. The latest SmartTOP module allows, among other things, operation of the convertible top via the console button via One-Touch.

In addition, the SmartTOP module makes it possible to use the rooftop operation via the original vehicle key from a distance.

Thanks to the sophisticated SmartTOP, starting or stopping the engine does not lead to any interruption of the convertible top movement. Furthermore, the module can be completely deactivated as required. Due to easy accessibility, the installation can be done quickly and easily. Since no cables are severed, a residue-free removal is possible at any time.

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

Leave a comment

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.

Leave a comment

The retrofit SmartTOP roof control from the manufacturer Mods4cars is now available for the new Mercedes-Benz SLC Roadster. It allows the opening and closing of the convertible top while driving, using short keystrokes. In addition, the roof can be operated from afar via the original vehicle keys.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), September 1st, 2016 — The SmartTOP additional roof control from the company Mods4cars for the Mercedes-Benz SLC Roadster is now available. The retrofit roof module makes for greater drive comfort with its smart function. With it, you are able to open the convertible top via the original remote control from a distance. The existing vehicle key does not need to be changed for this.

In addition, the roof can be operated while driving up to a speed of 60 km/h. The One-Touch function ensures that a quick tap of the top button is enough to set the automatic convertible top motion into transition. Eliminating the need for stopping and the cumbersome continuous pressing.

“We are pleased that we can offer all owners of the new SLC our smart roof control after such a short time and with the benefits of the numerous additional functions.” explains PR spokesman, Sven Tornow. The latest development makes it possible, in addition to the two main functions, to roll up the rear windows with the top down.

Furthermore, all windows can be opened and closed separately via the remote control from outside the vehicle. As confirmation of the central locking, a short beep signal will sound. It is also possible to activate the hazard warning lights during the tops folding movement. For vehicles with the Keyless Go package, the roof top can be opened and closed by triple touching a door knob.

Even in the most recent top control made by Mods4cars, all functions are programmable to your personal wishes. The module can be deactivated completely. When starting and stopping the engine, the current top movement will not be interrupted. Thanks to a standard USB port, the SmartTOP convertible controller can be configured on the PC and available free software updates installed. The supplied plug-n-play harness also ensures for a very easy retrofit.

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. The SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller kit for Peugeot 307 CC and 308 CC is available for 249 Euros + tax. A kit is also available for the Peugeot 207 CC.
