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.

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.

Aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars has begun shipping the SmartTOP convertible top controller kit for Audi A5 with a new, custom designed plug-and-play wiring harness. All connectors are OEM quality for perfect fit and foolproof installation. Additionally the module itself boasts the new, exclusive Mods4cars enclosure.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), September 30th, 2013 — The SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller made by Mods4cars for Audi A5 is a retrofit module which allows using the convertible top with one-touch convenience and while driving at slow speeds. It also gives owners the option to raise and lower the top from the original key fob remote. This summer Mods4cars has improved not just one, but two aspects of the kit: On one hand the wiring harness was redesigned with OEM quality connectors in order to make installation even easier, on the other hand the SmartTOP module itself received a design overhaul and comes in the exclusive, custom designed Mods4cars enclosure.

“Our modules offer increased convenience by providing intelligent features and simple operation. We set a high value on offering products that are easy to install by anyone. For that reason and to avoid problems or mistakes during installation, we ship our kits with custom plug-in-between wiring harnesses.” says PR-Manager Sven Tornow.

Just by adding the wiring adapter in between a couple of connections the SmartTOP kit is connected to the vehicle electronics. New, OEM quality connectors now provide perfect fit and total protection against misaligned connections. The plugs and sockets are all equipped with latching mechanisms in order to provide a safe and reliable link. “Installation of this kit merely requires opening an access panel in the trunk of the car and is completed in just a few minutes.” Sven Tornow continues.

Also the appearance of the product itself was improved by using the new, custom designed product enclosure for the SmartTOP module. The new enclosure is smaller and more ergonomically shaped, so it can be installed in tighter locations in the car. The main connector and USB port are now fully enclosed and protected. The conformally coated electronics board inside is protected from moisture.

Apart from the two signature features each SmartTOP module made by Mods4cars offers a host of bonus features: On cars with keyless entry option the top can be lowered or raised by touching the door handle without the need to retrieve the key. The windows can be controlled independently from the top by remote and a chirp signal can be programmed to sound briefly when locking or unlocking the car. An extended mode can be activated which allows starting or stopping the engine while the top is in motion. Also the entire product can be temporarily disabled while retaining all user configurable settings.

All features and functions are user programmable. Settings can be adjusted in the car using key combinations or by connecting a Windows or Mac computer to the USB port present on the module. The USB port also allows quick and easy firmware updates which are provided free of charge online.

Other Audi SmartTOP kits are available for the Audi A4 Convertible and Audi TT. The SmartTOP family supports pretty much all manufacturers: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and VW.

The SmartTOP for Audi A5 Convertible is available for 249 Euros + tax.
