SmartTOP Convertible Top Add-On Module for Mercedes-Benz SLK now with Plug-And-Play Wiring Adapter

The aftermarket convertible top module offered by Mods4cars for Mercedes-Benz SLK R172 models now ships with a plug-and-play wiring adapter. This new and custom designed adapter makes installation a lot easier and straight forward. The module allows one-touch opening and closing of the convertible top while driving as well as top operation from the factory remote fob up to the full RF range.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), Tuesday – May 22, 2012 — The add-on convertible top module for Mercedes-Benz SLK R172 offered by aftermarket electronics specialist Mods4cars now ships with a custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter. This new adapter allows for a very simple and straightforward installation of the kit by simply plugging it in between a couple of connectors. All connectors used are original OEM quality parts, thus a perfect and secure fit is guaranteed. “Older installation methods where connectors needed to be disassembled and individual wires had to be dealt with are a thing of the past”, says PR manager Sven Tornow. No wires need to be spliced, cut or severed. Everything stays in pristine condition and the kit can be removed from the car without leaving any traces.

The SmartTOP convertible top module gives Mercedes-Benz SLK owners the distinct advantage of being able to put the top up or down with one-touch convenience and while driving at speeds of up to 60km/h (~38mph). Additionally the factory remote fob can be used to control the top from a distance, up to the full RF range of the remote. No changes are necessary to the remote fob. No more holding down the switch: The car will be used top-down more often.

Configuration of user programmable settings is easier than ever, thanks to the full integration of this module with the car’s electronics. Settings are shown in clear text on the cluster display. “This allows our customers to quickly and easily customize the experience to their personal liking”, Sven Tornow continues.

This SmartTOP module also offers the following bonus features: Windows can be controlled separately from the remote and all windows can be closed with a quick touch of the console button. On cars with Keyless Go factory option the top can be controlled via touch sequences on the driver’s side door handle. Starting the engine or turning the ignition off while the top is moving will not interrupt the operation. There is a master switch to quickly disable the module completely, while retaining the individual preferences.

All modules come with a standard USB port for quick and easy firmware updates or module configuration via PC. Support software and firmware update files are available free of charge online. A SmartTOP module is a future-proof investment.

The convenience of this kind of add-on module is not only to be enjoyed by Mercedes-Benz SLK R172 owners as similar modules are also available for the previous generation SLK models R170 and R171.

The SmartTOP add-on convertible top module offered by aftermarket specialist Mods4cars for the Renault Megane CC III is now available and ready to ship. It allows convenient one-touch top operation while driving at slow speeds as well as opening and closing the top from the original factory key remote fob. It comes with a custom designed plug-and-play wiring harness for extremely simple and quick installation.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), Tuesday – January 10, 2012 — Effective immediately, the SmartTOP convertible top kit offered by Mods4cars ( http://www.mods4cars.com ) for the new Renault Megane CC III convertible is in stock and ready to ship. Added convenience features include opening and closing the convertible top at the touch of a button and at speeds of up to 40 km/h (~28 mph). The car will be used with the top down more often, pulling over and holding down the top switch is a thing of the past.

“Our new product also gives drivers the option to open or close their top from afar, with the original key fob”, says PR manager Sven Tornow. “No separate remote fob is needed and changes must be made to the existing remote fobs.” He continues. Megane owners can now lower the top already while walking up to the car or close the top after parking and getting out. On cars equipped with the “keycard handsfree” option the top can even be operated via touch sequences on the driver’s door handle.

The kit comes complete with a custom designed plug-and-play wiring harness for a simple and quick installation. It uses the original Renault connectors and plugs to ensure a perfect fit. The module kit quickly connects to the car electronics without the need to cut or splice separate wires.

Like other modules of the SmartTOP family, it also offers a hand full of bonus features such as a main switch to quickly deactivate the entire module or an extended mode where turning the ignition on or off will not interrupt an ongoing top operation. Thanks to the standard USB connector and a supplied USB cord, all modules can be configured conveniently or the product firmware updated quickly via PC. The support software and all product firmware updates are available online, free of charge, for the life of the product.

The SmartTOP convenience is available not only to Renault owners: Mods4cars offers kits for Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Volkswagen and Volvo. SmartTOP modules are available for almost all modern convertibles and roadsters on the streets today.

The SmartTOP kit for Renault Megane CC III is available for 249 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. For more details visit http://www.mods4cars.com

SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for Mini and BMW 1 Series Convertible Price Cut

Aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars now offers the SmartTOP controller for Mini and BMW 1 series convertibles at a reduced retail price of 249 Euros. The kit allows opening and closing of the convertible top while driving at slow speeds as well as from the original key fob remote.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), Tuesday – December 20th, 2011 — Right in time for this year’s Christmas season, Mods4cars has permanently lowered the price on their SmartTOP convertible top add-on kit for BMW 1 series and Mini convertibles. The new retail price is now only 249 Euros + tax. “We expect to see an increase in demand among BMW and mini owners wanting to take advantage of the benefits of our well-thought-out add-on product”, explains PR manager Sven Tornow.

The SmartTOP modules enable one-touch remote control of the top from the factory key fob without the need to reprogram or replace any of the remotes. Additionally, the top can be opened or closed while driving at slow speeds of up to 40km/h (~28mph). Also here a convenient one-touch feature does away with the need to hold down the switch for the duration of the operation. On Mini convertibles the opening cycle is drastically simplified by giving users the ability to choose, via different key press patterns, if the sunroof, top or windows should be opened at once.

Bonus features include separate control over the windows from the remote as well as an extended mode where turning the engine on or off will not interrupt an ongoing top cycle. All modules can be easily disabled and enabled, if needed. All features and functions are user programmable and individually selectable. Thanks to a standard USB port, firmware updates and module configuration can be done from any laptop or PC. Updates are available online, free of charge.

All kits ship with a USB cord and a custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter. This guarantees a simple and straightforward install procedure that can be carried out by anyone, without special knowledge or tools. All connectors are genuine OEM parts to ensure a perfect and secure fit. No handling of individual wires, cutting or splicing is necessary.

SmartTOP convertible top kits are also available for: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.
