Hi all,
First, I want to apologize for my English... French speakers are not good for foreign languages. :-)
I'm new here, I'm from Switzerland and I just bought the smarttop from mods4cars for my Z4 e89 35i.
I know the post is old, but maybe someone, like me, will come here to find info.
So I just received my smarttop from the USA in about 3-4 open days. And everything is perfect.
With the new one, no specific connection is needed as it's just using the original plug (no cable cute or unplugged). Exactly as describe on the installation guide you can find on the mods4cars website.
And you can configure your smarttop via a USB connection from your computer (very easy).
Installation done in about 10min, and working fine directly. I'm VERY happy with it. As it's winter now, I just made a quick test. I will see this summer if it's still ok with a regular use (but if it works one time, it should works every time).
I was a little skeptical about the folding mirrors operation. But it works!!!
Bellow is the picture of what I received. And no tools is needed for the installation.
I hope this post will help those who would like to buy one.
