Aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars has revamped the design of their SmartTOP Add-On Convertible Top Controller for Porsche Boxster 981. Effective immediately the kit for the Porsche Boxster 981 comes with the new enclosure. With the SmartTOP installed it is possible to open and close the top from a distance using the original factory remote fob. Additionally, convenient one-touch operation while driving is available for the center console switch.

Mods4cars has begun shipping their SmartTOP Add-On Convertible Top Controller for Porsche Boxster 981 equipped with the new product enclosure. One of the signature functions of the add-on kit is the ability to control the top from a distance by just using the factory key fob. The original fobs do not need to be modified or replaced.

Additionally owners can open or close the top, even while driving at slow speeds, with just the touch of a button. It is no longer necessary to hold down the switch for the duration of the operation. The driver gets to put both hands back on the wheel quickly.

The SmartTOP Add-On Convertible Top Controller for Porsche Boxster 981 comes with a handful of bonus features that further add convenience: The windows can be controlled separately from the top by remote. It is possible to reduce the radio volume when starting the car and an extended mode can be activated which allows the engine to be started or stopped while an ongoing top operation continues. The entire module can be temporarily disabled while retaining all user settings for when it is re-enabled later.

All functions and settings can be programmed to individual taste. SmartTOP modules come with a built-in USB port for quick configuration and firmware updates via Mac or Windows PC. Mods4cars is invested in continually improving their products and always listens to customer input. Support software and firmware updates are available online, free of charge.

Now Mods4cars has optimized the hardware of the SmartTOP module as well. The exclusive, custom designed enclosures are 30% smaller and thereby allow installation in even tighter places in the car. Two LEDs show status information and aid during the installation.

The SmartTOP Add-On Convertible Top Controller for Porsche Boxster 981 is available for 269 Euros + tax.

Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Chevrolet, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo: SmartTOP kits are available for all popular brands and models.

Thanks to the aftermarket SmartTOP add-on top controller module, owners of the Porsche Carrera 991 and Boxster 981 get to enjoy full automatic one-touch top operation. Activate the console switch briefly and the top opens or closes by itself; there is no longer any need to hold the switch for the duration of the operation. Additionally it is possible to activate the top from the factory key fob remote. Here too the operation cycle completes without the need to hold any button the entire time. Each SmartTOP module also comes with a host of bonus features that make owning a convertible more fun and convenient.

Mods4cars has now added two new features to the Porsche Carrera 991 and Boxster 981 modules: If desired, the module can mute the radio when the ignition is first turned on. “Unfortunately the last used volume setting is not preserved on these systems. The radio always turns on at a factory pre-set volume when turning the ignition on, even if it was turned off or muted before.” says PR manager Sven Tornow. “This function is intended for those among our customers who would like to start driving without the radio playing.” Sven Tornow concludes.

Additionally the user configurable settings can now be programmed in cars equipped with the multifunction steering wheel. It is now possible to change settings in the car by using key combinations or by using a laptop connected to the module’s USB port. The USB port also allows customers to update the module firmware using a Mac or Windows laptop or desktop computer. Firmware updates are available online and free of charge for the life of the product. Existing customer always get to enjoy new functionality and updates as well.

The Porsche modules offer the following bonus features: Opening and closing of the windows independently from the top, an extended mode where top operation is not interrupted by turning the ignition on or off. A “valet” switch that turns the entire module off temporarily while retaining all user settings. The kit comes with a custom designed wiring adapter and can be installed or removed easily.
The Carrera 991 wind deflector gains one-touch operation and can be programmed to automatically raise up after the top is opened.

SmartTOP modules are available for Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and VW. The kits are offered for almost all modern convertibles and roadsters on the road today. Pricing starts at 199 Euros + tax.
