    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.
    Detailed function description (* = Factory setting)
    Function 1 - Main Switch - Workshop and Diagnostics ( 0=OFF / *1=ON )
    The module can quickly and easily be enabled and disabled using this function. It acts like a master switch. When disabled, the module becomes completely inactive and behaves as if it was not installed.
    Setting 0 disables the entire module while keeping all other function settings intact. This allows turning the module off and back on without the need to reconfigure all of the other user configurable settings.

    IMPORTANT: In order to avoid problems with diagnostic tools and to avoid confusion or injury by unexpected top movement, we urge you to ALWAYS DISABLE the module before taking the car to a shop or lending it to a third person! If problems with the top arise while the module is installed, ALWAYS contact Mods4Cars first at www.mods4cars.com. NEVER take the car to a dealer without getting support first!


    Function 2 - One-Touch top operation ( 0=OFF / *1=ON WU / 2=ON WD / 3=EXT WU / 4=EXT WD )
    This function enables one-touch console switch operation, for which the window position after top open as well as an optional extended convenience mode can be programmed.
    Setting 1 is standard one-touch mode with windows up (WU) after top open. Setting 2 is standard one-touch mode with windows down (WD) after top open. Settings 3 and 4 (extended) are the same as 1 and 2, but additionally it is possible to turn off the ignition and pull the key while the top still continues.
    Settings 3 and 4 require extra responsibility and caution to avoid injury by moving top parts to passengers not expecting the top to continue running after the engine is turned off!

    Sunroof and top operation with the console switch:
    • Holding down the switch (>2 sec) in either direction will operate the top in manual mode for as long as the switch is held.
    • Tap OPEN 1x to open the sunroof only.
    • Tap OPEN 2x to open sunroof and top. Windows in programmed position (WU or WD).
    • Tap OPEN 3x to open sunroof and top. Windows in opposite position.
    • Tap CLOSE 1x to close top, windows and sunroof.
    • Tap CLOSE 2x to close top and sunroof only.
    Tap the console switch in any direction to interrupt an ongoing operation at any time - even if the top was started by remote!

    Comfort close for all windows:
    • Tap the top close switch when the top is already closed to roll all windows up.
    • Tap the top open switch when the top is already open to roll all windows down (if they were up) or up (if they were down).


    Function 3 - Remote Control ( 0=OFF / *1=ON WU / 2=ON WD / 3=EXT WU / 4=EXT WD )
    This function allows full automatic top operation with the original remote fob by pressing the lock and unlock buttons.
    Also here it is possible to determine (independently from operation via the center console switch) the position of the windows after opening the top.
    Setting 1 is standard remote mode with windows up (WU) after top open. Setting 2 is standard remote mode with windows down (WD) after top open. Settings 3 and 4 (extended) are the same as 1 and 2, only that it is possible to turn the ignition on and start the engine while the top still continues. Additionally getting out of the car and locking the doors by remote will not interrupt an ongoing top operation.
    Settings 3 and 4 require extra responsibility and caution to avoid injury by moving top parts, as locking the (previously unlocked) doors with the remote will not stop the top!

    Sunroof and top operation with the remote fob:
    • Tap LOCK, TRUNK, UNLOCK about 1 sec. apart: Open the top and bring the windows into the selected position (WU=Windows Up, WD=Windows Down)
    • Tap LOCK, TRUNK, LOCK about 1 sec. apart: Top and windows close automatically.
    Tap the open button at any time to stop an ongoing operation!
    WARNING: The remote is dead if the driver's door is open! Therefore it is not possible to stop an ongoing top operation with the remote while a door is open! Use the console buttons instead.


    Function 4 - Maximum allowed speed for roof operation ( *0=0kmh / 1=10kmh / 2=20kmh / 3=30kmh / 4=40kmh )
    Setting the max allowed speed for top operation in steps of 10km/h (~7mph). Setting 0 only allows roof operation while halted.
    WARNING: Once the top is started within the programmed speed limit, it will continue running, even if the speed later exceeds the limit during the top operation!


    Function 5 - Hazard signal during remote top operation ( *0=OFF / 1=ON )
    This function only works for the Z4 and should stay disabled.


    Function 6 - Alternate Remote Operation ( *0=OFF / 1=ON ) - NEW with firmware v1.20
    Use a different method for triggering top operation from the remote:
    Turn this function ON if the top does not activate with the sequences described under function 3. Mainly intended for UK cars where the TRUNK button on the remote is disabled.

    • Tap UNLOCK, LOCK, UNLOCK in quick succession: Open the top and bring the windows into the selected position (WU=Windows Up, WD=Windows Down)
    • Tap LOCK, UNLOCK, LOCK in quick succession: Top and windows close automatically.


    Programming
    This module is equipped with our interactive setup feature to allow easy setting of the desired options.
    Programming:
    All programming is done by using the convertible top buttons (1) and the two green turn signal arrows (3). Functions are indicated by the left arrow (or the single blinker indicator on older models) and their settings are indicated by the right arrow (or the indicator). Navigation is done by tapping TOP CLOSE (next function) or tapping TOP OPEN (next setting). After selecting the last function or function setting, the setup automatically jumps back to the first function / lowest setting. Each time either a new function is selected or a function's setting is changed, the arrows will indicate the new status by first blinking the function (left arrow) and then the current setting (right arrow).
    To enter programming mode: Turn the ignition to ACC position and then push both top buttons simultaneously until both arrows and the hazard triangle (2) light up, then let go. The module is now in programming mode and will immediately indicate function 1 and its setting. From this point on you can navigate through the functions by tapping CLOSE and once the arrows are finished indicating the function and setting, change the setting by tapping OPEN. The new settings are active immediately.
    To end programming mode: Either press both top buttons, wait for 30 sec. or turn the ignition off. End of programming mode is indicated by the triangle and both arrows lighting up simultaneously for 1 second.
