Aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars, maker of the add-on SmartTOP modules for convertible tops now presents the new solution for the Porsche 911 Carrera Convertible (996). This new development allows owners to open and close the top while driving at slow speeds with one-touch convenience. It is no longer necessary to hold down the switch for the duration of the operation. A quick touch is enough to start a full automatic top cycle. This represents a true gain in convenience which means the car will be enjoyed with the top down more often.

Additionally the SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for Porsche Carrera enables remote control of the top from the original key fob remote. A key sequence on the fob starts a full automatic opening or closing of the top. The original remote does not need to be altered. “SmartTOP customers can activate the top while still approaching their car, get in, start the engine and drive away with the top already down.” explains PR-Manager Sven Tornow.

Starting or stopping the engine does not stop an ongoing top operation. The rear windows can be raised with the top in the down position. The entire module can be temporarily disabled while retaining all user configurable settings all of which can be set to individual needs. It is also selectable if the windows should roll up or stay down after opening the top.

Programming of the user settings can be done in the car with a signature set up procedure or with a Windows or Mac computer using the USB connector built into the module. The USB port allows quick and easy firmware updates as well as full product configuration in seconds using support software available free of charge online.

Installation of the kit is very straight forward as well. It comes with a plug-in-between wiring adapter which connects the module to the car electronics. It is custom designed using OEM connectors to ensure a perfect and secure fit. No wires need to be spliced or cut and everything can be reverted back later without leaving any trace or damage.

The SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for Porsche Carrera 911 Convertible is available for 299 Euros + tax.
