Mods4Cars just released a SmartTOP convertible top controller for the Renault Megane. The add-on SmartTOP convertible top controller kit is available and effective immediately for the Renault Megane CC II and III. It allows owners to open and close the top from a distance using the original key fob remote while driving at speeds of about 30mph. It also adds one-touch convenience to the center console switch. See the official press release below, as well as a demonstration video featuring this product in play. You can also view our entire lineup of Mods4Cars SmartTOP products here.

Press Release: The SmartTOP Add-On Convertible Top Controller made by aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars adds simple and convenient controls for the convertible top. The SmartTOP modules for Renault Megane CC II and III allow top operation while driving at slow speeds of up to 40 km/h (~28mph). Thanks to one-touch operation the top switch just needs to be tapped once. It is no longer necessary to pull over and hold down the switch for the entire duration of the top operation.
Additionally the top can be controlled from the original factory key fob remote. A quick key combination on the remote activates a fully automatic top operation. This makes it possible to open the top before getting in or closing the top from afar at the first sign of impending rainfall. The existing remote fob does not need to be altered or replaced.
An extended mode which allows the engine to be turned on or off while a top operation continues can be activated as well. On cars equipped with the keycard hands free option, the top can also be controlled via the touch door handle (Megane CC III). All functions and features can be adjusted to individual taste and the entire module can be temporarily disabled while retaining all user settings for when it is re-enabled later.
The SmartTOP modules come equipped with a USB port for easy setup and firmware updates via Windows PC or Mac. Support software and updates are available online, free of charge. The SmartTOP kits come with a plug-and-play wiring adapter, custom manufactured with OEM connectors for a perfect and secure fit. Installation merely consists of plugging in some connectors. No wires need to be cut or spliced into. Everything can be removed without leaving any damage.
Mods4cars now overhauled the design of the smart convertible top controllers themselves. “The new enclosure was custom designed by Mods4cars for the purpose.” explains PR Manager Sven Tornow. “It is about 30% smaller than before and very slim, thereby making installation in tight spaces in the car even easier. Additionally there are two LEDs to show the current status and to aid during installation.” Sven Tornow continues.
