    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. Fully open the convertible top. IMPORTANT: Turn the ignition completely off before continuing! Move the left seat all the way forward and up.
    2. Remove the rear seat by pulling up in the front. It is snapped into place (see arrows).
    3. Lift up the plastic cover as shown (arrows). Wiggle carefully while pulling upward. It is also held in place just by plastic and metal clips.
    Installation - Steps 4-6
    4. Remove the frame around the seat belt opening.
    5. Now the entire top cover can come off. Shown here (arrows) are the snap clips that held it in place.
    6. Remove the door sill by pulling upward (arrows). It is only snapped into place.
    Installation - Steps 7-9
    7. Now pull the side panel off towards the center of the car (arrows). It needs to be completely removed for access to the top controller.
    8. Pull with some force and also grab under from beneath. There are a number of green peg clips and other metal clips holding it in place.
    9. The green pegs are marked here. If one or several of them come off and stay in the holes, remove them later with pliers and attach them to the panel before re-installing.
    Installation - Steps 10-12
    10. After removing the side panel, find the grey plug to the bottom left of the speaker. It needs to be removed (1) by pushing in the locking tab while pulling and wiggling it out.
    11. Connect the plug from the module harness (1) to the socket here, then connect the original plug with the matching socket (2) on the harness. Make sure they latch into place securely.
    12. Connect the module itself. Briefly turn on the ignition and check the green LED on the module. It should flash in a steady pattern, showing a successful installation. The module can be installed in the gap between the side panel and the bench as shown, so it can be accessed later in order to connect a laptop via USB for updates and configuration.
