Leave a comment

Effective immediately the after-market SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller made by Mods4cars is available for the Jaguar F-Type. The module allows convenient one-touch opening and closing of the top from the console switch. It also enables remote top operation from the original key fob. These main functions along with some bonus features make daily use of the convertible more convenient.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), December 05, 2014 — The SmartTOP kit aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars announced in August for the Jaguar F-Type Convertible is now available and in stock. “After completion of the first production run of the custom designed Plug-and-Play wiring adapters, the first modules were shipped in mid-November.” explains PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “We already received positive feedback as well.” he continues.

The add-on SmartTOP kit offered by Mods4cars makes top operation more convenient by enhancing the console switch with one-touch operation. It is no longer necessary to hold down the switch for the entire time. A quick touch is enough to start a full automatic opening or closing cycle. Additionally it is programmable if the windows should open or close afterwards.

SmartTOP also allows remote control of the top from the original key fob. A quick key combination is enough. “SmartTOP customers can open the convertible top while still approaching the car and drive off top-down.” says Sven Tornow. No changes need to be made to the original keys or receiver system.

The newest Mods4cars product also comes with a host of bonus features such as separate control of the windows from the remote and an option to reverse the console switch direction. All features can be programmed individually to taste. An extended mode can be activated that allows starting or stopping the engine while the top is moving and it is possible to temporarily disable the entire module while retaining all user settings.

The kit ships with a custom designed Plug-and-Play wiring harness adapter which allows anyone to install it in minutes. Connection between the module and car electronics is made by simply plugging in two connectors. Original parts were used to guarantee a perfect and secure fit. No cutting or splicing of any wires is necessary. Everything can be removed without leaving any trace or damage.

The SmartTOP module comes equipped with a USB port for quick configuration and firmware updates via Mac or Windows PC. Updates and support software are available online, free of charge. “Once you buy a SmartTOP, you always have an up-to-date product.” Sven Tornow concludes.

Mods4cars offers the SmartTOP line of products with kits available for these popular brands: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and Volkswagen.

The kit for Jaguar F-Type Convertibles is available for 299 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.
