The kit offered by aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars offers quick, full automatic one-touch operation from the console switch while driving at slow speeds. It is no longer necessary to hold down the switch for the entire duration of the operation.

Additionally the top can be opened and closed from afar using the original factory key fob remotes. A quick sequence of key presses activates a full automatic top operation. “This smart feature can be used to air out the car while still approaching and, in the opposite case, the top can quickly be closed at the first sign of impending rainfall.” explains PR-Manager Sven Tornow. In addition to these two main functions, every SmartTOP module also comes with numerous bonus features.

Inventor and manufacturer Mods4cars has now overhauled the exterior design of the SmartTOP module itself. Effective immediately all kits for the Porsche 911 Carrera come with the module in a new product enclosure. This custom designed enclosure is extremely slim and easier to install in the car than ever before. Two LEDs help during the installation process.

“The new enclosure was specifically designed for our SmartTOP modules.” Sven Tornow continues. “They now envelop all components of the internal electronics, including connectors, USB Port and LEDs. The LEDs help during installation by showing current status or troubleshooting information.” Sven Tornow concludes.

In conjunction with the supplied plug-and-play wiring adapter installation is extremely easy and can be done by anyone. Attaching the module to the car electronics is done by simply plugging in a connector. The integrated USB port allows quick and easy configuration of the user setting as well as firmware updates. Support software for Windows and Mac and firmware updates are available online, free of charge.

Official Press Release: The SmartTOP Add-On Convertible Top Controller for Ferrari California is now available and in stock. The newest product made by aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars makes using the convertible top easier and more fun every day. “We are happy to be able to offer a convenient solution for the Ferrari California in addition to the ones we have for the Ferrari 360 and 430 Spider.” says PR-Manager Sven Tornow.

The SmartTOP is a module that comes as part of an add-on Convertible Top Controller kit and can be installed by anyone. It allows owners to control their top from a distance by just using the original key fob remote. A quick sequence of key presses triggers a full automatic top operation. “The top can be opened while still approaching the car. In the opposite case it can be closed quickly at the first sign of impending rainfall, with no need to get inside and turn the ignition on.” Sven Tornow continues. Neither the original key remotes nor any of the car’s safety systems need to be modified.

Additionally, when inside, the top can be opened or closed conveniently with a quick tap on the console switch. It is no longer necessary to hold down the switch for the entire duration of the operation. “This saves time, as the SmartTOP customer can touch the switch, turn the ignition off, get out and lock the car, while the top continues to close by itself.” Sven Tornow explains.

It is possible to program the desired position of the windows after opening the top. Selections include all windows down, front windows up and all windows up. The windows can also be controlled from the remote fob, separately from the top.

By factory default the two small rear windows are permanently in the down position as long as the convertible top is open. One of the SmartTOP features now allows them to be raised. The car owner can decide if he wants all four windows to come up after opening the top for a better wind protection while driving at higher speeds. It also improves on the overall look of the California with top down; raising all windows gives the Ferrari a more refined and complete look.

An extended mode can be activated, which allows the engine to be started or stopped while a top operation continues. All features can be individually programmed. The module comes with built-in USB port and support software for Windows and Mac as well as firmware updates for all products are available online, free of charge. The module’s functions can also be programmed in the car with a sequence of keypresses.

The kit comes complete with a plug-and-play wiring adapter for extremely easy installation. Connecting the module to the car electronics is done by simply plugging in a few connectors. No wires need to be cut or spliced into, thereby leaving absolutely no damage and allowing for an easy removal, if needed.

On cars equipped with keyless entry, the top can also be controlled by touching the door handle three times. The console switch operation direction can be reversed and an extended mode can be activated ,which allows the ignition to be turned on or off during an ongoing top operation.

The entire module can be temporarily disabled while retaining all user configuration settings for when it is re-enabled later. The SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller is equipped with a USB port, so it can be connected to a Mac or Windows PC for quick and easy configuration and updates. Support software and updates are offered by Mods4cars free of charge.

The kit includes a plug-and-play wiring adapter harness which results in an extremely simple installation process. Connections between the SmartTOP remote and the vehicle electronics are made by plugging in connectors. There is no need to cut or splice wires. As easily as installed, this kit is just as simple to remove and it leaves absolutely no damage to the car.
