PLEASE READ THE COMPLETE MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.

We explicitly point out that all functions of this control unit should be used only while exercising caution and responsibility. We can NOT be held liable for any damage or injury caused by installing or using this product. Operation must be supervised and paid attention to in order to ensure that there are no objects or persons in range of moving parts due to the fact that top mechanics do not have pinch protection. Please study and be aware of the procedures to interrupt an ongoing operation in an emergency.

Important Information. READ BEFORE USING!

	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 underlined)

Function 1 - MODULE MODE + MASTER SWITCH ( 0=OFF / 1=ON / 2=EXT / 3=EXP )
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 while keeping all other function settings intact for when it is re-enabled later. • Setting 1 is the regular operation mode with emphasis on safety. Turning the ignition on or off as well as hitting any button on the remote at any time during remote operation immediately stops an ongoing top operation. • Setting 2 is the extended operation mode with emphasis on convenience. Starting or stopping the engine will not stop a top operation and it is possible to lock or unlock the doors one time from the remote while the top is moving. • Setting 3 is the operation mode designed for responsible experts. It allows the doors to be locked and unlocked more than once. This can come in handy if after getting out and locking the doors something was forgotten in the car and needs to be retrieved while the top is still running. Settings 2 and 3 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 and due to the fact that the first key press on the remote to lock or unlock the doors (or continued toggling of the door locks) will not stop the top! To abort the operation, press unlock while the doors are unlocked or lock while they are locked. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: In order to avoid problems with diagnostic tools and to avoid confusion or risk of injury by unexpected top movement, we urge you to ALWAYS DISABLE the module before taking the car in for routine maintenance or lending it to a third person! In case of any top malfunction NEVER take the car with the module still installed to an unsuspecting dealer! In such cases ALWAYS contact Mods4Cars for support first at www.mods4cars.com or completely uninstall the module before a dealer visit.

Function 4 - Maximum Speed ( 0=0 km/h / 1=10 km/h / 2=20 km/h / 3=30 km/h / 4=40 km/h / 5=50 km/h / 6=60 km/h )
This function determines the desired speed limit for top operation via console switch. • Setting 0 only allows roof operation while halted. • Setting 1 and up increase the speed for top operation in steps of 10km/h (~7mph). We recommend to keep the speed as low as possible and only operate the top on even and smooth street surfaces! 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!

Use of this feature requires extreme caution and responsibility, since it is still possible for the car to get stolen and under certain circumstances (local laws) it might be illegal to leave a car running unattended. Setting 2 triggers a loud alarm using the horn if a door is opened or the transmission is shifted out of P gear. The alarm can be silenced by tapping the unlock button on the remote or by turning the engine off.

Programming
	This module offers several different functions, each with several settings. All functions and settings are described in detail above and a quick reference table (matrix) can be found at the end of this manual. We recommend printing the matrix and storing it in the glove box! To activate the programming mode, turn the ignition "half" on (Important! Accessory Position), then select the AUDIO screen and turn the radio off. The screen should read "AUDIO OFF". Press and hold the hangup button (1) until both green arrows light up, then let go. The module now shows the firmware version and the functions and settings in the cluster display (4). Alternatively, with aftermarket radios or other cases where the AUDIO screen just shows "----" and text output doesn't work, it is possible to use the blinker arrows as output. To activate the alternate setup method, proceed as described above, but keep holding the phone hangup button until the arrows light up a second time, then let go. In this mode the module shows the current function via the left arrow and that function's setting via right arrow. As an example, the left arrow blinks 1x and the right arrow blinks 2x: Function 1 is currently set to setting 2. To choose the function, tap the up/down switch (2), to change the setting, tap the plus/minus switch (3). A brief tap on up advances to the next function, a brief tap on down returns to the last one. After reading the current function and setting via the text output or blinker signals, a brief tap on plus increases the setting while a brief tap on minus decreases it. To end programming mode, either turn the ignition off or tap the hangup button. The programming mode automatically terminates after 60 sec. of inactivity. End of programming mode is indicated by both arrows lighting up simultaneously for 1 second.
