    This module comes with our USB Field Upgrade and Configuration Port! We recommend connecting it to a computer BEFORE YOU INSTALL and using our support app "m4cconnect" to do a quick firmware update check. M4cconnect as well as all other information regarding USB update and configuration can be found at www.mods4cars.com/usb. You can even configure and activate your favorite module functions and settings on screen before the module is installed in the car! It is a good idea to permanently install the USB cable with the module in the car, leaving the computer plug in an easily accessible spot for later use with a Wifi/3G/4G connected laptop.
    IMPORTANT TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

    If the top does not work properly or at all after installing the module, these tips can be very helpful:

    • 1) Turn Function 1 (Main Switch) off (Setting 0). The module will be completely passive. If the problem still persists and the top won't work, check all connections. Please also check the green DATA LED on the module!

    • 2) Function 2 now has a valet mode (Setting 2) on many modules. Valet mode completely disables opening of the top. Check the setting for function 2 and make sure the module is NOT in valet mode!

    IMPORTANT: Not all modules have the valet mode! Please check the Operation and Programming Manual!
    FUNCTION OF THE DATA LED

    The DATA LED shows the module status and helps troubleshooting issues during installation:

    • When the ignition is ON: The LED should BLINK (flash) in a regular pattern (about 1x per second). This indicates that the module is receiving data and should work OK.

    • When the ignition is OFF: The LED should BLINK (flash) as long as the data bus is still active and turn off after a while (max 5 min) indicating that the car has entered stand-by (sleep) mode.

    • If the LED is permanently lit with the ignition ON, the module is NOT receiving data from the top controller and all connectors should be checked.

    • If the LED does NOT light up at all when turning the ignition ON, the module is either not getting power or not receiving ANY data. All connectors should be checked.
    Installation - Steps 1-3
    1. Completely open the top, bring the seats all the way up and tilt them forward.
    2. Behind the seats on the bottom, remove both screws (1) and (2). All following instructions apply to both sides (driver and passenger).
    3. Grab under the carpeted covers and pull forward. They are held in place by snap clips (arrows)
    Installation - Steps 4-6
    4. Remove the vent covers next to the dash (pull off).
    5. Here shown with the vent cover removed.
    6. Remove the door sill trims by pulling up and out (arrows).
    Installation - Steps 7-9
    7. Now remove the side covers in the corners behind the seats. Disconnect the plugs (1). Then remove the nuts (2). In order to reach (2), start closing the top and immediately let go after the lid has opened up a bit.
    8. Remove the covering around the center storage box (arrows).
    9. Remove scres (1) (on both sides), then remove the four screws (2)-(5) around the storage box holding it in place.
    Installation - Steps 10-12
    10. Open the storage box and remove the screw in the top middle.
    11. Pull the entire storage box out towards the front (arrows). Disconnect the plug(1).
    12. Now the roll bar covers need to be opened and scres removed inside.
    Installation - Steps 13-15
    13. Carefully pry the lids up.
    14. Remove the screws (1) and (2).
    15. Now the entire plastic piece behind the seats will come out by pulling it upwards. It is snapped into place with metal clips (see arrows).
    Installation - Steps 16-18
    16. Behind the plastic cover is the top controller module (1). It is a black box with 5 plugs going to it and a white label on it.
    17. Remove plugs (1) and (2). Both are secured with latching mechanisms. Pull the red tab out on (1) first, then push in on the locking lever. Push the locking lever in on (2).
    18. Connect the plugs from the wiring harness (1) and (2) to the top controller, then connect the original plugs (3) and (4) to the matching sockets on the harness. Make sure all latch into place securely. Connect the module to the harness, tap the unlock button on the remote and check the green DATA LED. It should blink slowly to indicate a successful install. We recommend connecting the USB cable and running it to an accessible location for convenient update and configuration via laptop at any time.
