      <title>SmartTOP Convertible Top Add-On Module for Mercedes-Benz SLK Now With Plug-And-Play Wiring Adapter</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The aftermarket convertible top module offered by Mods4cars for Mercedes-Benz SLK R172 models now ships with a plug-and-play wiring adapter. This new and custom designed adapter makes installation a lot easier and straight forward. The module allows one-touch opening and closing of the convertible top while driving as well as top operation from the factory remote fob up to the full RF range.</p><p>Ocean, NJ -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 06/11/2012 --  The add-on convertible top module for Mercedes-Benz SLK R172 offered by aftermarket electronics specialist Mods4cars now ships with a custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter. This new adapter allows for a very simple and straightforward installation of the kit by simply plugging it in between a couple of connectors. All connectors used are original OEM quality parts, thus a perfect and secure fit is guaranteed. "Older installation methods where connectors needed to be disassembled and individual wires had to be dealt with are a thing of the past", says PR manager Sven Tornow. No wires need to be spliced, cut or severed. Everything stays in pristine condition and the kit can be removed from the car without leaving any traces.<br />
<br />
The SmartTOP convertible (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.mods4cars.com" href="http://www.mods4cars.com">http://www.mods4cars.com</a>) top module gives Mercedes-Benz SLK owners the distinct advantage of being able to put the top up or down with one-touch convenience and while driving at speeds of up to 60km/h (~38mph). Additionally the factory remote fob can be used to control the top from a distance, up to the full RF range of the remote. No changes are necessary to the remote fob. No more holding down the switch: The car will be used top-down more often.<br />
<br />
Configuration of user programmable settings is easier than ever, thanks to the full integration of this module with the car&apos;s electronics. Settings are shown in clear text on the cluster display. "This allows our customers to quickly and easily customize the experience to their personal liking", Sven Tornow continues.<br />
<br />
This SmartTOP module also offers the following bonus features: Windows can be controlled separately from the remote and all windows can be closed with a quick touch of the console button. On cars with Keyless Go factory option the top can be controlled via touch sequences on the driver&apos;s side door handle. Starting the engine or turning the ignition off while the top is moving will not interrupt the operation. There is a master switch to quickly disable the module completely, while retaining the individual preferences.<br />
<br />
All modules come with a standard USB port for quick and easy firmware updates or module configuration via PC. Support software and firmware update files are available free of charge online. A SmartTOP module is a future-proof investment.<br />
<br />
The convenience of this kind of add-on module is not only to be enjoyed by Mercedes-Benz SLK R172 owners as similar modules are also available for the previous generation SLK models R170 and R171.<br />
<br />
Mods4cars carries SmartTOP modules for: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.<br />
<br />
The SmartTOP kit for Mercedes-Benz SLK R172 is available for 249 Euros + tax.<br />

About Mods4cars<br />
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born. <br />
<br />
The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe. <br />
<br />
Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.<br />
<br />
The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.<br />

It allows one-touch opening and closing of all windows or closing of the sunroof by remote.

Neither the remote(s), nor the car need to be reprogrammed.<br />
<br />
Additionally, the RemoteKEY module will fully automatically close the sunroof from the remote. This gives owners the opportunity to quickly close the sunroof without the need to get into the car, should they get surprised by rainfall. Neat extra features are the ability to unlock the gas cap from the remote as well as a full auto close mode that always closes windows and sunroof whenever the car is locked.<br />

Installation could not be simpler. The add-on module comes with a custom designed wiring adapter and is simply connected to the car&apos;s control computer under the driver&apos;s seat. "Our product can be installed by anyone in just minutes", Sven Tornow concludes.<br />
<br />

About Mods4cars<br />
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.<br />
<br />
The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.<br />
<br />
Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.<br />
<br />
The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The SmartTOP add-on convertible top module offered by aftermarket specialist Mods4cars for the Renault Megane CC III is now available and ready to ship. It allows convenient one-touch top operation while driving at slow speeds as well as opening and closing the top from the original factory key remote fob. It comes with a custom designed plug-and-play wiring harness for extremely simple and quick installation.</p><p>Las Vegas, NV -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 01/10/2012 --  Effective immediately, the SmartTOP convertible top kit offered by Mods4cars ( <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.mods4cars.com" href="http://www.mods4cars.com">http://www.mods4cars.com</a> ) for the new Renault Megane CC III convertible is in stock and ready to ship. Added convenience features include opening and closing the convertible top at the touch of a button and at speeds of up to 40 km/h (~28 mph). The car will be used with the top down more often, pulling over and holding down the top switch is a thing of the past.<br />
<br />
"Our new product also gives drivers the option to open or close their top from afar, with the original key fob", says PR manager Sven Tornow.<br />
<br />
"No separate remote fob is needed and changes must be made to the existing remote fobs." He continues. Megane owners can now lower the top already while walking up to the car or close the top after parking and getting out. On cars equipped with the "keycard handsfree" option the top can even be operated via touch sequences on the driver&apos;s door handle.<br />
<br />
The kit comes complete with a custom designed plug-and-play wiring harness for a simple and quick installation. It uses the original Renault connectors and plugs to ensure a perfect fit. The module kit quickly connects to the car electronics without the need to cut or splice separate wires.<br />
<br />
Like other modules of the SmartTOP family, it also offers a hand full of bonus features such as a main switch to quickly deactivate the entire module or an extended mode where turning the ignition on or off will not interrupt an ongoing top operation. Thanks to the standard USB connector and a supplied USB cord, all modules can be configured conveniently or the product firmware updated quickly via PC. The support software and all product firmware updates are available online, free of charge, for the life of the product.<br />
<br />
The SmartTOP convenience is available not only to Renault owners: Mods4cars ( <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.mods4cars.com" href="http://www.mods4cars.com">http://www.mods4cars.com</a> ) offers kits for Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Volkswagen and Volvo.

      <title>SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for Mini and BMW 1 Series Convertible Price Cut</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars now offers the SmartTOP controller for Mini and BMW 1 series convertibles at a reduced retail price of 249 Euros. The kit allows opening and closing of the convertible top while driving at slow speeds as well as from the original key fob remote.</p><p>Las Vegas, NV -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 12/27/2011 --  Right in time for this year&apos;s Christmas season, Mods4cars has permanently lowered the price on their SmartTOP convertible top add-on kit for BMW 1 series and Mini convertibles. The new retail price is now only 249 Euros + tax. "We expect to see an increase in demand among BMW and mini owners wanting to take advantage of the benefits of our well-thought-out add-on product", explains PR manager Sven Tornow.<br />
<br />
The SmartTOP modules ( <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.mods4cars.com" href="http://www.mods4cars.com">http://www.mods4cars.com</a> ) enable one-touch remote control of the top from the factory key fob without the need to reprogram or replace any of the remotes. Additionally, the top can be opened or closed while driving at slow speeds of up to 40km/h (~28mph). Also here a convenient one-touch feature does away with the need to hold down the switch for the duration of the operation. On Mini convertibles the opening cycle is drastically simplified by giving users the ability to choose, via different key press patterns, if the sunroof, top or windows should be opened at once.<br />
<br />
Bonus features include separate control over the windows from the remote as well as an extended mode where turning the engine on or off will not interrupt an ongoing top cycle. All modules can be easily disabled and enabled, if needed. All features and functions are user programmable and individually selectable. Thanks to a standard USB port, firmware updates and module configuration can be done from any laptop or PC. Updates are available online, free of charge.<br />
<br />
All kits ship with a USB cord and a custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter. This guarantees a simple and straightforward install procedure that can be carried out by anyone, without special knowledge or tools. All connectors are genuine OEM parts to ensure a perfect and secure fit. No handling of individual wires, cutting or splicing is necessary.<br />
<br />
SmartTOP convertible top kits are also available for: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.<br />

About Mods4cars<br />
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.<br />
<br />
The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.<br />
<br />
Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.<br />
<br />
The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.<br />

      <title>SmartTOP Convertible Top Module for BMW 1 Series and Mini Now With Plug-And-Play Wiring</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The SmartTOP convertible top add-on module offered for BMW 1 series and Mini convertibles by after-market electronics specialist Mods4cars now comes with a custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter. The module allows one-touch top operation while driving at slow speeds as well as opening and closing of the top from afar via the original factory remote fob. Installation is done by simply plugging the custom-fit wiring adapter in between two connectors.</p><p>Ocean, NJ -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 12/13/2011 --  Effective immediately, Mods4cars includes a new, custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter with all SmartTOP module orders for BMW 1 series and Mini convertibles. The adapter uses OEM plugs and connectors to ensure a perfect fit and simple connection between the module and the car electronics. Installation is simplified to the point that it can be carried out by anyone without special knowledge. No individual wires need to be handled, no cutting or splicing into wires means no permanent changes to the vehicle.<br />
<br />
The SmartTOP module offers BMW 1 series and Mini convertible owners an array of useful convenience features and adds functionality to their cars. The convertible top can be operated with a single touch of the switch, at speeds of up to 40km/h (~28mph). It is no longer necessary to pull over and hold down the top switch. Opening and closing of the top is also possible, up to the full RF range, via simple commands from the existing car key fob. The original remote does not need to be reprogrammed or altered. <br />
<br />
"Thanks to our one-touch feature top operation is now a breeze - Quick and uncomplicated, even from the remote", says PR manager Sven Tornow. On Mini convertibles it is even possible to enter command sequences to determine the desired position of the sunroof/convertible top combo. Touch the switch once to open the sunroof only, touch it twice to open the top, touch it three times to open top and all windows. All these options are also available from the key remote transmitter. "The cumbersome act of holding down the switch and letting go just in the right moment is a thing of the past. The driving fun can start right away", Mr. Tornow concludes. With the kit installed, all it takes is a single tap to fully automatically close the windows, top and sunroof, should drivers get caught in a summer rainstorm.<br />
<br />
Some additional features present on this as well as many of the company&apos;s other add-on modules are separate window control from the remote, one-touch closing of all windows from the center console switch, automatic door locking and unlocking and an extended mode where turning the engine on or off does not interrupt an ongoing top operation. Also worth mentioning is the master switch, which allows turning the entire module on or off quickly, while retaining the user&apos;s individual preference settings. <br />
<br />
All SmartTOP convertible top add-on modules made by Mods4cars come with a standard USB port, a USB cable is included with every kit. This allows end users to configure the module or update the firmware with any regular Windows PC. Support software as well as firmware updates for the modules are available online, for the life of the product and free of charge.<br />
<br />
Modules are available for Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo. Mods4cars offers a SmartTOP kit for almost every modern convertible on the roads today. <br />
<br />
The SmartTOP kit for BMW 1 series and Mini Convertibles is available for 249 Euros + tax.<br />

      <title>SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller Kit for BMW 3 Series and Z4 Roadster Now Ships With Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The SmartTOP convertible top control module offered by aftermarket specialist Mods4cars for BMW 3 series convertibles and Z4 roadsters now ships with a plug-and-play wiring adapter. It allows opening and closing the top while driving at slow speeds and adds one-touch convenience as well as one-touch operation of the top from afar via the original factory key fob.</p><p>Las Vegas, NV -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 10/25/2011 --  Effective immediately BMW 3 series convertible and Z4 roadster owners get to enjoy the conveniences offered by the SmartTOP series ( <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.mods4cars.com" href="http://www.mods4cars.com">http://www.mods4cars.com</a> ) while keeping installation efforts to a minimum, thanks to the new, custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter which now comes standard with each module. The kit, once installed, allows convenient top operation from the original factory key fob without the need to modify or reprogram the key.<br />
<br />
Additionally the convertible top can be used at slow speeds of up to 40km/h (~28 mph) with the added convenience of simple one-touch operation. The distinct disadvantage of having to pull over and hold down the switch is a thing of the past. As a result the top is used more often, even on shorter trips.<br />
<br />
"We are very happy with the solution we have found for such a simple product installation" says PR manager Sven Tornow and adds that the custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter makes installing the kit a very simple and straightforward task. All connections between the car electronics and SmartTOP module are original manufacturer style plugs and sockets, guaranteeing a 100% fit and making it absolutely foolproof.<br />
<br />
"The usual concept of having to deal with individual wires or even cutting and splicing is completely absent." Mr. Tornow concludes.<br />
<br />
Each module comes with a hand full of extra features, all of which can be individually enabled, disabled and configured: Windows can be controlled separately by remote or one-touch closed using the all-windows switch in the driver&apos;s side door. Doors can be set to automatically unlock upon turning off the engine and the trunk access feature can be activated with no need to hold down the button on the remote. Even the motorized rear view mirrors (if option present) can be folded in or out from the remote. Top operation can be programmed to continue while the engine is started or the ignition turned off and the entire module can be disabled if needed.<br />
<br />
An integrated industry standard USB port allows end-users to configure the module with a laptop or PC and update the product firmware (available free of charge online) if necessary. "Updates will always remain free, for the life of the product" explains Tornow, "once you have purchased a SmartTOP module, you will never get stranded with an obsolete product - an absolutely unparalleled service in this market segment."<br />
<br />
SmartTOP convertible top kits by Mods4cars are available for: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.<br />

About Mods4cars<br />
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born. <br />

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe. <br />
<br />
Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality.

In conjunction with the "m4cconnect" software available on the company&apos;s website, this port makes initial configuration of all user parameters as well as updating the product firmware a simple and easy affair. Firmware updates are always available free of charge and only require an active internet connection at the time of update. All product kits come bundled with a USB cable which can be left installed with the module in the car, so a laptop can be used at any time to change configuration parameters or install an update without the need to remove the module. <br />
<br />
Each module can be conveniently programmed with a PC or laptop using a small and freely available software program. As an example some modules allow selecting if the windows should roll up after a top open command or if the horn or siren should emit a short beep upon locking or unlocking the car. Should additional functions and features become available at a later point in time, all customers get to benefit from them after running the simple firmware update. Early adopters of new modules can always rest assured that their product will not become obsolete. <br />

"We generally offer all firmware updates free of charge and with no restrictions, for the life of the product." says PR-Manager Sven Tornow.

These are custom designed harnesses using original OEM plugs and connectors that simply plug in between existing connections without the need to solder or splice any wires. A 100% fit of all electrical connections is guaranteed.<br />

<br />
Each module also offers several model dependent bonus features: Some allow chirping the horn or siren when locking or unlocking the car, some allow automatic door locking and unlocking or defining the desired position of the windows after opening the top. All modules can be turned off completely if needed and come with a standard USB port for simple and easy setting of all user configurable parameters via PC or laptop as well as quick and easy firmware updates.

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Ocean, NJ -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 07/25/2011 --  The SmartTOP convertible top module offered by Mods4Cars for the Audi A3, A4 Convertible and the TT Roadster now comes with a new and improved version of the plug-in-between wiring harness. This version utilizes all genuine OEM parts for plugs and sockets, thereby allowing for an even easier, more convenient and foolproof installation. All plugs only fit one way and latch securely into place. Now anyone can install the kit quickly and easily to enjoy the benefits immediately.<br />
<br />
"This new &apos;ultra-plug-and-play&apos; wiring harness makes connecting our module to the vehicle electronics a matter of seconds." Says PR manager Sven Tornow. "Now we are proud to offer OEM quality wiring with unprecedented quality. All plugs fit and latch perfectly." He concludes.<br />
<br />
The add-on kit allows opening and closing of the convertible top from afar via the factory key fob. Additionally the windows can be lowered or raised by remote, independently from the top. The original key fobs do not have to be reprogrammed or replaced. The kit also offers the ability to operate the top while driving at slow speeds, user programmable and up to 60kmh (~38mph) while adding one-touch convenience. It is no longer necessary to pull over and hold down the top switch. Drivers get more frequent top-down use of the car.<br />
<br />
The module can also be programmed to not interrupt an ongoing top operation when either the ignition is turned on or off. Like on other modules offered by Mods4Cars, all features and settings are user programmable and the entire module can be deactivated when needed. A standard USB port in conjunction with a support program available online allow for easy configuration and firmware updates (free of charge).<br />
<br />
Not only Audi owners get to enjoy the benefits of the SmartTOP add-on: The kits are available for Alfa, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and VW - Mods4Cars now carries a SmartTOP module for almost every modern convertible on the road.<br />
<br />
The top-down fun for A3, A4 and TT is available for 249 Euro + tax.<br />

About Mods4cars<br />
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof ( <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.mods4cars.com" href="http://www.mods4cars.com">http://www.mods4cars.com</a> ) operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.<br />
<br />
The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in California and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.<br />
<br />
Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.<br />
<br />
The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.</p><p>For more information on this press release visit: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm">http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</a></p></div><h2>Media Relations Contact</h2><p>Anja Lehmann<br />Mods4cars<br />Telephone: 310-910-9055<br />Email: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/press-releases/contact/101453">Click to Email Anja Lehmann</a><br />Web: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mods4cars.com/sms/shop/?p=b3JnYT1zbWFydHRvcCZncm91cD0yJmxhbmc9MiZjdXJyPTImc21zX2NvdW50cnk9MjIz&amp;r=aHR0cDovL21vZHM0Y2Fycy5jb20vaW5kZXgucGhw">http://www.mods4cars.com/sms/shop/?p=b3JnYT1zbWFydHRvcCZncm91cD0yJmxhbmc9MiZjdXJyPTImc21zX2NvdW50cnk9MjIz&amp;r=aHR0cDovL21vZHM0Y2Fycy5jb20vaW5kZXgucGhw</a><br /></div><div><p><img src="https://cts.releasewire.com/v/?sid=101453&amp;s=f&amp;v=f" width="1" height="1" alt=""><span></span></p></div>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The SmartTOP after-market roof controller by Mods4cars has been available for order since 3/28/2011, only two days after the introduction of the Mercedes-Benz SLK Roadster (R172). A quick push of a button allows the driver to open and close the roof while driving slowly. The roof can also be operated from a distance using the original car key.</p><p>Ocean, NJ -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 04/22/2011 --   Only two days after the official introduction of the Mercedes-Benz SLK R172 Roadster, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Mods4cars" href="http://www.mods4cars.com">Mods4cars</a> released their SmartTOP roof controller to provide new owners with even more comfort and functionality. The module makes it possible to open and close the roof from a distance (over 20m) using the original remote fob and without having to change or program the original car key.<br />
<br />
Thanks to the SmartTOP module, the roof can be accessed while driving up to a speed of 60 km/h. The One-Touch function ensures that a quick push of a button in the car&apos;s interior is enough to open and close the top. This eliminates the need to push and hold the roof button and makes the car more convenient to use while open.<br />
<br />
"We&apos;re delighted that we can offer our convenient module to all new owners of the SLK R172 in such a short period of time and bring them even more enjoyment and comfort" explains PR rep Sven Tornow. This newest development also makes it possible to open or close just the windows from outside of the car using the remote fob.<br />
<br />
The new rooftop controller can be completely deactivated if needed. Additional functions can also be programmed according to personal preference, such as ensuring that rooftop movement is not interrupted by starting or stopping the car&apos;s engine. Thanks to the standard UBS connector, the SmartTOP convertible controller can be configured and upgraded with free downloadable software updates.<br />
<br />
The SmartTOP after-market rooftop module is also available for the following cars: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.<br />

The manufacturer reports that after-market roof controllers for the BMW 6 Convertible (F12), Mercedes Benz SLK (R172), Nissan 370Z Roadster, Renault Megane CC (III), Renault Wind, VW EOS (Facelift) and VW Golf VI Convertible will be available this year.</p><p>Ocean, NJ -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 03/21/2011 --   Mods4cars is announcing new convertible roof controllers for 7 cars.

Secondly, the roof can be controlled from a distance using the car&apos;s existing remote fob without having to change or reprogram the original car key.<br />

      <title>Plug and Play Harness for the Peugeot 308 CC Convertible-Module</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Starting immediately, the convertible module for the Peugeot 308 CC will include a Plug N Play harness. This new harness allows for a quick and easy installation of the convertible module.</p><p>Ocean, NJ -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 02/18/2011 --   The Mods4cars SmartTOP convertible module for the Peugeot 308CC is now available with a Plug N Play harness. This harness is a custom development that allows easier and faster installation of the convertible module without any splicing into the OEM wiring.<br />
<br />
"The Plug N Play harness allows for an easy way to integrate the convertible module with the vehicle electronics system", explains PR-Manager Sven Tornow. "Through this innovation, any person can install the convertible module with ease allowing everyone to enjoy the comfort and functions of the product." Sven Tornow further added.<br />
<br />
The convertible module allows the opening and closing of the convertible top by utilizing the original vehicle key, even from a distance. The original key does not have to be modified or programmed. Furthermore, it is possible to activate (open/close) the convertible top while in motion up to a speed of 40km/h. The One-Touch functionality enables the top to engage through a quick push of the convertible button and circumvents the need to hold the convertible button to complete the cycle. This allows for the car to be used top-down more often.<br />
<br />
This mods4cars product also enables the convertible top to complete the open or close cycle after the vehicle has been turned off. <br />
<br />
Added features such as individual programming of the module allow it to be completely deactivated, if needed. A standard USB cable can be utilized to update the firmware or program the functions of the module on a PC. All firmware updates are free of charge.<br />
<br />
However, it is not just Peugeot owners who benefit from SmartTOP controllers. Mods4cars supplies its SmartTOP comfort controller for almost all convertible and roadster models from a wide variety of manufacturers, including Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and Volkswagen.<br />
<br />
The Peugeot 308 CC convertible module is available for 249 Euro + tax.<br />

      <title>After-market Convertible Top Remote Control for Infiniti G Convertible</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The new retrofit SmartTOP convertible top control by after-market automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars will be available in spring of 2011. It will allow opening and closing of the top at the touch of a button, even while driving slowly, as well as operation of the top via the original factory remote fob.</p><p>Ocean, NJ -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 01/17/2011 --   Just in time for the start of the convertible top season this spring, the SmartTOP module offered by Mods4cars will be available for the Infiniti G convertible. It adds convenience features such as opening and closing the top from afar via the factory remote fob, without requiring a new remote or reprogramming the existing one. It also adds one-touch top operation from the center console button, even while driving up to 40km/h (~27mph). Not having to stop and hold down the top switch allows for the car to be used top-down more often.<br />
<br />
"We are happy to announce that our intelligent SmartTOP module will be available to Infiniti G convertible owners this spring. They will be able to enjoy the extra convenience soon." Says PR-manager Sven Tornow. This newest product even adds important features omitted by Infiniti like raising all windows after the top is closed. Opening and closing of all four windows simultaneously by double-tapping the top switch or from the factory remote is now also possible.<br />
 <br />
Like all other products of the SmartTOP line the module can be quickly turned off if necessary and all convenience features are programmable to taste. Examples are extended operation mode which allows starting or stopping the engine while the top is running or short beep (chirp) signals when locking or unlocking the car. Automatic locking of the doors when driving is also possible with the module. Being equipped with a standard USB port, the module can also be configured conveniently via PC software and it&apos;s firmware updated if necessary, both available free of charge online.<br />
<br />
It is not just Infiniti owners who benefit from SmartTOP controllers. Mods4cars supplies its SmartTOP comfort controller for almost all convertible and roadster models from a wide variety of manufacturers, including Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.<br />
<br />
The Infiniti G convertible module will be available in spring of 2011 for 249.00 Euro + tax.<br />
<br />

About Mods4cars<br />
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.<br />
<br />
The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full fledged international corporation with an office in California and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.<br />
<br />
Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.<br />
<br />
The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.<br />

It offers Peugeot 307 CC owners more convenience features for their vehicle: Open and close the convertible top remotely, with the original key fob remote. No separate fobs or reprogramming of the existing ones is necessary.<br />
<br />
Thanks to the SmartTOP module operating the roof from the center console button also got easier: The One-Touch feature and the ability to open or close the roof while driving up to speeds of up to 40 km / h (28mph) add more fun to the drive. These functions encourage drivers to make more use of their tops - the awkwardness of having to stop and holding down the button is gone.<br />
<br />
A setup menu makes it possible to configure all of the module&apos;s features to taste - using the in-car LCD screen. The individual functions of the roof control and their options are displayed in plain text. "We have succeeded in seamlessly integrating the configuration of our top control module into the vehicle system." says PR spokesman Sven Tornow. "We offer our customers a simple and convenient way to customize the SmartTOP module according to their personal desires." he continues.<br />

Additionally it is possible to close all four windows automatically with just one short push on the center-console button or from the outside via the original key remote fob.<br />
<br />
All SmartTOP modules are equipped with a standard USB port for easy firmware updates as well as configuration in conjunction with a Windows program, both offered free of charge.<br />
