The SmartTOP convertible top control for BMW Z4 and Mini Cabrio allows One-Touch top operation while driving, as well as the convertibles top to be operated via the vehicles key. The manufacturer, Mods4cars, has now added numerous new functions to the convertible module to increase ease of use.

The retrofitted SmartTOP convertible top module for the BMW Z4 Roadster (E85) and the Mini Cabrio (R52) makes it possible to open and close the convertibles top while driving at a speed of up to 40 km/h. Thanks to the One-Touch function, a brief tap on the interior button is all it takes. In addition, the convertibles top can be operated from a distance using the existing vehicles key.

“With the sophisticated functions of our SmartTOP comfort modules, we want to make the everyday cabriolet and driving experience as easy as possible,” explains PR spokesman Sven Tornow. “That’s why we regularly add new functions to our modules and are happy to respond to customer requests,” Sven Tornow continues.

The SmartTOP convertible top control for BMW Z4 and Mini Cabrio have now received the following new functions: It is now possible to have the indicator blink three times automatically by briefly pressing the indicator lever once. “Coming/Leaving Home” mode let the low beam or fog light be activated for a short time after opening or closing the vehicles door.

Additionally, the hazard warning lights can be activated if the top is operated via the remote control. Valet mode prevents the convertibles top from being operated via the interior button and remote control. This allows the top to be completely locked when a third party is using the vehicle.

All functions can be programmed according to your personal requirements. A setup menu enables the configuration of the retrofitted convertible top module via the existing display in the vehicle. The individual functions and their options are displayed in plain text.

The SmartTOP convertible modules are also equipped with a USB port, which allows programming and installation of software updates via the home PC/Mac.

SmartTOP Convertible Top Module by Mods4cars for Mini Convertible and BMW 1 Series Convertible gets design refresh 1/2

Mods4cars now ships the SmartTOP add-on kits for the Mini Convertible and the BMW 1 Series Convertible with the new Mods4cars module enclosure. This custom designed enclosure impresses with its slim, form fitting design and two LEDs for quick and simple installation. Thanks to the smaller size the module can easily be installed in even tighter locations in the car.

“We are happy to announce the switch to the new product enclosure on the SmartTOP modules designed for Mini and BMW 1 Series.” says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “The sophistication of our products is now also apparent from the outside.” The smart add-on modules with their useful features make day-to-day use of the convertible top more convenient and more fun.

With a SmartTOP module installed, owners can open or close the convertible top at slow speeds of up to 40 km/h (~28 mph). A quick tap is enough to start full automatic operation. It is not necessary any longer to hold down the switch for the entire time. The driver’s hands are back on the wheel quickly.

“Especially Mini owners will appreciate the one-touch feature greatly, since they can now choose the desired outcome when pressing the button.” Sven Tornow continues. A single touch opens the sunroof. A double tap opens the sunroof and the convertible top. A triple tap opens the sunroof, convertible top and windows. “Owners can quickly select what they want and the whole operation is carried out fully automatically: Either just the sunroof or the whole convertible top, and whether the windows should be up or down after the top operation finishes.” Sven Tornow concludes.

Full automatic one-touch operation is also possible from a distance by using the original key fob remote. Not having to hold down any buttons means convenience and saving time. The SmartTOP customer may even get in the car and start driving while the top still operates. No changes are necessary to the key fobs or the receiver system.

SmartTOP modules all come with additional bonus features. A few examples are one-touch operation for the windows from the console switch, automatic mirror folding and unfolding on the BMW 1 Series and options to unlock the doors when turning the ignition off. An extended mode can be activated that allows a top operation to continue even when the engine is being started or stopped. The entire module can also be disabled temporarily while retaining all user configurable settings.

Another standard feature on all SmartTOP products is the integrated USB port for quick and simple configuration and firmware updates. Updates are free of charge and support software is available for Windows and Mac. The SmartTOP kit comes with a custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter that allows simple installation by connecting the module to the vehicle electronics.

The add-on module for Mini Convertible and BMW 1 Series starts at 209 Euros + tax. The following brands are supported by SmartTOP: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.
