The SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller made by Mods4cars for the Mercedes-Benz E-Class convertible is a retrofit module which makes use of the top simpler, more fun and comes with a few bonus features as well. To benefit from these features, all that is necessary is to connect the module with the car electronics using the supplied custom designed plug-and-play adapter harness.

This harness simply plugs in between some connectors at the top control box and the SmartTOP module. In order to make installation even easier and to avoid any problems, the adapter was completely redesigned using OEM plugs that ensure secure, tight fit and reverse polarity protection. Simply connect plug and socket until they latch. Safety levers lock the connections in place.

“We always want to make the installation of our products as easy as possible for our customers“, says PR Manager Sven Tornow. “This means for us that we deliver wiring adapters that use OEM connectors with all the necessary safety latching mechanisms and reverse polarity protection that fit perfectly and cannot come apart accidentally.” Additionally Mods4cars recently custom designed a product enclosure that makes the module itself very slim, up to 30% smaller and thereby easier to install in tight locations. Configuring and updating the module is straight forward as well: A USB port on the module allows owners to connect it to a PC or Mac to program the individual settings or update the module firmware online.

The SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller allows use of the top while driving at slow speeds of up to 50 km/h (~30mph). Thanks to the one-touch feature all it takes is one quick tap on the top switch. It is no longer necessary to hold down the switch for the duration of the operation. It is also possible to open and close the top from the original factory key fob remote up to the full RF range. No modification is necessary to the key remote or receiver system.

The SmartTOP module for E-Class convertibles also offers some neat bonus features: Separate control of the windows from the remote, comfort one-touch close off all windows at once with the dedicated “all-windows“ switch. Hazard blinkers can be activated during remote top operation and the top can be controlled via the door handle if the car has the Keyless Go factory option installed. An extended mode can be activated which allows starting or stopping the engine during an ongoing top operation and the entire module can be temporarily disabled while retaining all user configurable settings.

Effective immediately the SmartTOP kit for E-Class convertibles ships with the new plug-and-play wiring adapter at an unchanged retail price of 299 Euros + tax. SmartTOP kits are available for many other Mercedes-Benz models as well as for all of these popular brands: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and VW.

SmartTOP Convertible Top products for Mercedes-Benz E-Class and CLK receive design refresh 1/2

The add-on SmartTOP Convertible Top Controllers offered by aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars are meant to simplify operation of the top. They make it possible for owners of Mercedes-Benz E-Class and CLK convertibles to use the center console top switch while the car is moving at slow speeds. All that is needed is a quick tap on the switch to trigger full automatic “one-touch” operation. It is neither necessary to stop and pull over, nor does the switch have to be held down for the duration of the operation.

Additionally, the SmartTOP module allows top operation from the original key fob remote with one-touch convenience. After using a quick button combination on the key fob, the top opens or closes fully automatically. No changes are necessary to the original key fob transmitters or receiver system.

Next to these two main features the SmartTOP add-on kits for E-Class and CLK convertibles offer a host of bonus features: The windows can be opened or closed from the remote and independently from the top. All windows can be opened or closed one-touch style from the console switch. The hazard flashers can be activated during remote top operation and it is possible to activate a short audible confirmation sound when locking and unlocking the car (CLK only). On both models top and window operation from the remote is possible up to the full RF range of the remote. All features are individually programmable and adjustable to taste. An extended mode even allows starting or stopping the engine during an ongoing top operation. The entire module can be temporarily disabled while retaining all user configurable settings.

“We constantly work on improving our existing products“, says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “We are always happy to implement new features as a result of customer inquiries.” But not only software is being improved on continually. Recently the enclosure of the intelligent top opener was completely redesigned. Effective immediately all SmartTOP kits for Mercedes-Benz E-Class and CLK Convertibles come equipped with the new enclosure.

The new product enclosure was designed and developed exclusively by Mods4cars for the use case at hand. It is slimmer and more streamlined and can be installed in tighter spots in the car. Use of less plastic and omission of screws also make it a better choice for the environment. Two LEDs now offer an unparalleled level of status and diagnostics information during installation. To make installation extremely simple, the SmartTOP kits also come with plug-and-play wiring adapters which simply connect the module to the vehicle electronics. User programmable settings can be adjusted via clear text in-dash menu or via USB setup and support software available for Windows and Mac.

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

Current pricing for these Mercedes-Benz SmartTOP kits starts at just 249 Euros + tax.
