    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 seats all the way forward and up. Remove the back seat. It is held in place by two mechanisms in the front (arrows).
    2. Push the black levers over to the side to disengage the mechanism and release the front of the seat.
    3. Grab under the seat and unhinge the metal rods (left and right) from the floor supports (arrow and circle) by first pushing the rod back, then up in order to get the seat out.
    Installation - Steps 4-6
    4. Remove the two screws (1) and (2) from the bottom of the back rest.
    5. The fold down arm rest needs to be removed as well. It is held in place by two springs in the upper hinges.
    6. Push the springs backwards with a screw driver while pulling the arm rest upwards and towards the front of the car.
    Installation - Steps 7-9
    7. Here the whole mechanism is visible including the track, hinge and spring. Now remove the screws (1) - (3) from the back rest, then take the entire back rest out.
    8. Behind the back rest on the left side (LHD driver's side) there are two plugs (1) and (2). The module needs to be connected here.
    9. Disconnect the large grey plug (1) and the small black plug (2). Both are shown disconnected here. They both have locking mechanisms which need to be pushed in while wiggling them out.
    Installation - Steps 10-12
    10. Connect the grey plug with the matching socket on the module harness, then connect the small black plug with the matching socket as well and make sure buth latch into place securely.
    11. Connect the grey plug from the module harness to the original socket, then connect the small black plug from the harness to the socket while again making sure that both latch into place.
    12. Connect the module itself. Tap the unlock button on the remote once and check the green LED on the module. It should flash in a steady pattern, indicating 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.
