Smarttop Roof Controller by Mods4cars Now Available for the New Porsche 911 Targa SmartTOP Roof Controller by Mods4cars now available for the new Porsche 911 Targa Effective immediately the SmartTOP add-on roof controller made by Mods4cars is available for the new Porsche 911 Targa. It allows convenient one-touch operation of the Targa Top as well as opening and closing operation from the original key fob remote. Las Vegas, Nevada – April 8th, 2015 Aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars brings in the convertible top season with new product: The SmartTOP roof controller for the new Porsche 911 Targa is now available and makes using the Targa Top more fun with its intelligent and convenient features. The kit allows opening and closing with just a single tap on the console switch. Top operation completes fully automatically. It is no longer necessary to hold down the console switch for the entire time of the top cycle. Additionally it is possible to control the Targa Top from the original factory key remote. “SmartTOP customers can open or close their top while approaching the car.” explains PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “This feature is particularly useful on hot days when it is nice to be able to air out the car before getting in. It is also a tremendous bonus to be able to close the top quickly from afar at the first sign of rainfall.” Sven Tornow continues. No change needs to be made to the original remote fobs. Also the windows can be controlled, independently from the top, by remote. All functions and settings of the SmartTOP module can be configured to individual taste. The entire module can be temporarily disabled, if needed, while retaining all user settings for when it is re-enabled later. Installation of the SmartTOP kit is extremely simple. “In a very short time and with very few steps the module is installed in the car.” Sven Tornow points out. “The included custom designed plug- and-play wiring adapter simply connects the SmartTOP to the vehicle electronics.” No wires need to be cut, spliced or soldered. Removal is possible at any time without leaving any trace or damage. The SmartTOP Targa Top Controller for the new Porsche 911 Targa comes in the new, exclusive Mods4cars product enclosure which was engineered in house for perfect fit. Due to its very small and slim nature it can be installed in very tight spaces. It is equipped with a USB port for quick and easy configuration and firmware updates via Mac or Windows PC. Support software and firmware updates are available online free of charge. The kit for Porsche 911 Targa is available for 299 Euros + tax. SmartTOP kits are also available for Porsche Boxster and Porsche 911 Convertibles. The following popular brands are supported by Mods4cars with SmartTOP kits: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.

Flamingo Rd #3100, Las Vegas, NV 89119 - USA About Mods4cars: 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. 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. 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. 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. .

It is the archetypal sports car for everyday driving, and a style icon that is unmis- takable as both the face and heart of the Porsche brand: the 911. In Zuffenhausen today, the one-millionth model rolled off the production line – a Carrera S in the special colour “Irish Green”, with numerous exclusive features following the original 911 from 1963. The two-door car remains the most strategically important model in the product range and makes a huge contribution to maintaining Porsche’s position as one of the most profitable car manufacturers in the world. Dr Wolfgang Porsche, Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Porsche AG, has been a part of the development of the 911 since day one: “54 years ago, I was able to take my first trips over the Grossglockner High Alpine Road with my father.
