    This module comes with our USB Field Upgrade and Configuration Port! We recommend connecting it to a computer BEFORE YOU INSTALL and using our support app "m4cconnect" to do a quick firmware update check. M4cconnect as well as all other information regarding USB update and configuration can be found at www.mods4cars.com/usb. You can even configure and activate your favorite module functions and settings on screen before the module is installed in the car! It is a good idea to permanently install the USB cable with the module in the car, leaving the computer plug in an easily accessible spot for later use with a Wifi/3G/4G connected laptop.
    IMPORTANT TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

    If the top does not work properly or at all after installing the module, these tips can be very helpful:

    • 1) Turn Function 1 (Main Switch) off (Setting 0). The module will be completely passive. If the problem still persists and the top won't work, check all connections. Please also check the green DATA LED on the module!

    • 2) Function 2 now has a valet mode (Setting 2) on many modules. Valet mode completely disables opening of the top. Check the setting for function 2 and make sure the module is NOT in valet mode!

    IMPORTANT: Not all modules have the valet mode! Please check the Operation and Programming Manual!
    FUNCTION OF THE DATA LED

    The DATA LED shows the module status and helps troubleshooting issues during installation:

    • When the ignition is ON: The LED should BLINK (flash) in a regular pattern (about 1x per second). This indicates that the module is receiving data and should work OK.

    • When the ignition is OFF: The LED should BLINK (flash) as long as the data bus is still active and turn off after a while (max 5 min) indicating that the car has entered stand-by (sleep) mode.

    • If the LED is permanently lit with the ignition ON, the module is NOT receiving data from the top controller and all connectors should be checked.

    • If the LED does NOT light up at all when turning the ignition ON, the module is either not getting power or not receiving ANY data. All connectors should be checked.
    Installation - Steps 1-3
    1. Close the convertible top and turn the ignition fully off. Open the trunk and completely empty it.
    2. Remove the floor board.
    3. Remove all the styrofoam inserts and the plastic cover over the locking mechanism. Lift up the cover by pulling straight up with some force. It is simply snapped in place.
    Installation - Steps 4-6
    4. Remove the square plastic piece (1). Grab in the hole and carefully pull on the carpeted cover. It is snapped into place.
    5. Fold the whole carpeted cover towards the center to access the top controller behind it.
    6. The top controller box has two yellow and two black connectos going to it. It is mounted in a bracket and held in place by a plastic hook (1). Carefully bend the hook towards you and slide the top module out of the bracket (arrows).
    Installation - Steps 7-8
    7. Disconnect the yellow data plug (1) and the black power plug (2) by pushing hard on the locking levers on the side (unlatch) in order to connect the Mods4cars custom wiring harness in between.
    8. Connect the new red data plug (1) and the new power plug (2) to the top unit, then connect the original yellow data plug (3) and the original power plug (4) to the matching sockets on the harness, making sure all of them latch securely into place. Connect the SmartTOP module to the harness and stow it in the hollow space after sliding the top controller back in its place. Best connect and install the USB cable for later firmware updates or module configuration. Put everything back together. Remember to configure the module according to our Operation and Programming Manual.
