Aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars kicks off the year 2014 with a new product. The SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller module for Volkswagen Beetle Convertibles is now in stock. Thanks to the convenience features of the add-on module Beetle Convertible owners get to enjoy their cars even more from this day forward. It is now possible to open or close the top fully automatically from the original factory key fob remote. No changes are necessary to the existing remotes. The remote operation comes in handy when drivers want to air out the car by lowering the top before driving off or in order to make stowing luggage on the back seat super easy.

Additionally the module adds one-touch convenience to the existing center console switch. It is no longer necessary to hold down the switch for the duration of the top operation. A quick tap on the switch is all that is needed. Now that opening the top takes less time and effort, the car is going to be used top-down more frequently, even on shorter drives.

An extended mode can be activated to allow continuing top operation while the engine is started or stopped. The entire module can temporarily be disabled in cases where others are driving the car and are not expecting the full automatic behavior. The SmartTOP module is equipped with a USB port which allows quick and easy set-up or firmware updates via PC or Mac. Support software and update files are available on the outfits’ website free of charge.

The brand new SmartTOP module for VW Beetle Convertibles ships right from the start with the recently introduced, exclusive and custom designed Mods4cars product enclosure. The new design was tailored specifically to the needs of this product and environment. The circuit board is optimally protected and all connectors including the USB port are fully enclosed. The new enclosure is very sleek and small, fits into very tight spaces and also shows status information via two LEDs, aiding during the installation process.

“In order to make installation as simple as possible, the SmartTOP kit for Beetle comes with a full plug-and-play wiring adapter which allows a simple and secure connection between the module and the car electronics.” says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. It is not necessary to cut or splice any wires. Installing or removing the kit can be done by anyone and leaves no traces or damage.

The SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for VW Beetle Convertibles retails for 249 Euros + tax.

SmartTOP modules are available for: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.

A quick key combination opens or closes the convertible top. “SmartTOP customers appreciate being able to open the top while still approaching their vehicle.” says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “The top-down driving experience begins immediately upon entering the car.” No changes are necessary to the keys or the receiver system.

The newest development made by Mods4cars also comes with a host of bonus features: The side windows can separately be controlled by remote, hazard flashers can be activated during remote operation and the console top switch operation direction can be reversed. All features can be individually programmed to taste. An extended mode allows starting or stopping the engine while the top is still moving and the entire module can be temporarily disabled while retaining all user settings.

The SmartTOP module comes equipped with a standard USB port for quick and convenient configuration and firmware updates. Support software for PC and Mac is available free of charge; so are all updates for the module. Existing customers will always benefit from new features down the road.
