SmartTop convertible top controllers are literally the only product of its kind. The ability to control your convertible top by pressing a button on your key fob is convenient and unique. With applications of cars such as Audi, Porsche, Mini, BMW, SmartTop now has this available for the Ferrari California. The convertible top can be opened or closed via one-touch operation from the console switch. A quick tap is enough to start the automatic top open or close process. It is no longer necessary to hold down the switch for the entire time.
Additionally the SmartTOP module allows owners to use the original key fob remote to open or close the top. While still approaching the vehicle, the top can already be lowered. The SmartTOP customer gets in, starts the engine and can start driving with the top already down. It is of course also possible to close the top of the parked car form a distance at the first sign of impending rainfall. No modifications are necessary to the keys or receiver system.
The SmartTOP module also comes with a few bonus features for added convenience: The windows can be lowered or raised by remote and the rear windows can be programmed to raise or stay down after opening the top. An extended mode can be activated which allows starting or stopping of the engine during an ongoing top operation. The entire module can be temporarily disabled while retaining all other user settings for when it is re-enabled later.
Each SmartTOP module can be programmed according to individual taste. An integrated USB port allows connecting a Mac or PC which provides a quick and easy way to configure the settings or update the module firmware. Support software as well as firmware updates are available online, free of charge.
The installation of the kit is straightforward and simple. A plug-and-play wiring harness is part of the kit. It quickly connects the module with the vehicle electronics using perfect fit OEM connectors. “Installation is as easy and connecting a few plugs.” Sven Tornow demonstrates. No wires need to be cut or spliced; the kit can be removed at any time without leaving any damage or trace.
