SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for Audi A5 Convertible and R8 Spyder now with Ultra-Plug-and-Play wiring harness

The aftermarket SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for Audi A5 and the R8 Spyder now comes with a new, custom designed Ultra Plug-and-Play wiring adapter harness. With this brand new wiring harness Mods4cars has made the installation easier than ever before. The SmartTOP module allows operation of the top while driving at slow speeds with one-touch convenience as well as from afar with the original key fob remote.

Aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars has improved the design of the wiring adapter which ships with the SmartTOP kit for the Audi A5 Convertible and R8 Spyder.

SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller by Mods4cars now available for Audi R8 Spyder 1/2

Effective immediately, the SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller offered by aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars is available for the Audi R8 Spyder. It adds convenient and intelligent functionality to the car. On one hand the convertible top can be opened using quick and automatic one-touch operation and while the car is in motion. It is no longer necessary to hold down the switch for the duration of the operation. SmartTOP owners just tap the switch briefly to activate the top.

On the other hand the module allows top operation from the original key fob remote. “Opening and closing the top from a distance by using the original key fob is a very popular feature.” says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “Our customers can start opening the top while they are still approaching the car.” Sven Tornow continues. “This can come in handy to air out the car quickly in situations where direct sunlight has heated the inside up.

Just like the well thought out functionality, installation has been designed to be as easy as possible. A custom designed plug-and-play wiring harness is part of the kit. This harness uses original OEM plugs to guarantee perfect and secure fit while simply connecting the module with the car electronics.
