As of now, the retrofit SmartTOP convertible top control for Mazda MX-5 RF from the company Mods4cars is available. It allows for the top to be opened and closed while driving via One-Touch. A short tap of the button activates the automatic movement of the retractable hardtop.
The retrofit SmartTOP convertible top control for Mazda MX-5 RF is now available. “The additional comfort module for the Mazda MX-5 is one of our most popular products. We are pleased that we can now also offer a SmartTOP solution for the new Mazda MX-5 RF,” explains PR spokesman Sven Tornow.
The SmartTOP modules are additionally installed into the vehicle in order to make the operation of the retractable hardtop more comfortable. After installation, it is possible for the Mazda driver to open and close the top while driving at a speed of up to 50 km/h via One-Touch. All you need to do is tap the top button. The top movement is then carried out automatically. “This way the driver has both hands back on the steering wheel faster,” explains Sven Tornow.
In addition to this main function, the SmartTOP also offers further clever features: Upon customer request the function “Invert switch logic” has been added. Thanks to it, the operating direction of the top button can be inverted. In addition, the top movement is also possible while reversing. Starting and stopping the engine does not interrupt the current top movement process.
All functions can be programmed according to personal wishes. Among other things, it is possible to adjust, step by step, the speed at which the top movement can be carried out whilst driving. Thanks to a USB port attached to the module, the configuration can be made easily via a PC / Mac. In addition, the USB port makes it possible to upload additional software updates and feature enhancements, which are offered by Mods4cars free of charge.
For easy installation, the SmartTOP convertible top control for Mazda MX-5 RF comes with a plug-and-play cable set. The specially developed T-cable set has connectors in OEM quality and ensures for a simple connection between vehicle electronics and SmartTOP module. No cables need to be cut, so a residue-free removal is possible at any time.

I’ve seen on resellers website (maybe non officials) that some provide you product with the open/close top on MX5 RF from the remote key fob feature.
Can you please confirm if the SmartTOP Roof Top Control for Mazda MX-5 RF device can do this? If not, is this something that may be added in a future upgrade/version?
Anyway, thank you for creating so fun products 🙂
A remote operation for the Mazda MX-5 RF is not available and won’t be in the future because of technical limitations of the car.
Does it allow to operate roof with remote control?

Hey
I saw you said it’s not possible to trigger roof remotely.
Is that the case even for Miata rf automatic?
And also what are the technical difficulties?

Hello,
Will this remote work on a 2020 MX-5 RF? If yes, can I drop the top PRIOR to getting in and starting the car? I realize it has one-touch functionality. That’s fine (and easier than having to hold the button down or up) but my main desire is to drop the top as I approach the car to let the summer heat out AND make it easier for me to “fall” into the car rather than squeeze in with the top closed. Thanks

I know it works on the MK3 NC.
BUT WHY CAN’T YOU OPEN IT FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.?
EVERY OTHER CAR CAN DO IT WHY CAN’T THIS.?

I see in your answers to earlier posts that “remote operation for the Mazda MX-5 RF is not available”.
I just purchased a 2010 PRHT and the first thing I want to add is the Smarttop controller. But, I’m sure that I have seen in various forums that the top can be lowered as you approach the car. Is that true and it just doesn’t work on the RF.
Hi Steven, We offer a remote feature for different cars, but unfortunately not for the Mazda MX-5. A multi-module solution would be needed to provide that feature. For now we are offering a one-module plug and play system without remote functionality.
