Does it bother you that the button to operate the roof on your cabrio is so awkward to handle? With our Cabrio-Plus module, your Mercedes gains several additional features and will really stand out when on the move!

The most important features of the Pro version are:

	Roof can be operated with the remote key fob
	A quick touch of the roof button opens or closes the roof completely. No long hold is necessary.
	Roof can be operated up to a driving speed of 37mph.
	Maximum speed adjustable
	No interuption of the movement caused by starting the engine or locking the doors.
	Warning signals can flash while operating the roof.
	Configuration with the keys of the steering wheel
	All individual functions can be disabled.
	All security functions of the car remain unchanged.
	Ability to update the module for future innovations.
	Standby consumption is under 0,03mA (<0,36 Watt at 12V voltage)
	E-Certificate: Note

Detailled functionality:

Roof can be operated with the remote key control. After pressing the open or close button on the vehicle remote twice, the roofs starts moving. With this, you can open the roof on the way to your car or you can close it if you are inside and it starts to rain. A guaranteed show effect!
A quick touch of the roof button opens or closes the roof completely. Holding the roof button for the entire time the roof is in motion is no longer needed. Simply press the button once and release to start movement of the roof. A short push in the opposite direction will interrupt the operation if you need to stop for any reason.
Open and close while moving. You can open and close the roof while driving up to speeds of 37mph . No more worries about running out of time at a traffic light to raise or lower the top. With this module, you can start driving while the roof finishes it's movement. You are no longer a traffic obstacle while you are waiting and people will look with jealousy as your drive away with the top completing it's motion! If it starts to rain and there is no place to stop the car, you can easily close the roof while driving at city speeds.
You can set the maximum driving speed by pressing the buttons "boardcomputer down" and "+" at the same time. A short flash of the roof light in the tacho display confirms the process.
For safetly reasons, driving faster than the maximum speed stops the movement of the roof. If you reduce speed within the next 30 seconds, the roof operation will continue automatically.
All functions can be enabled or disabled with the buttons on the steering wheel. A short flash of the roof light in the tacho display confirms the process. If you don´t want to use all functions, you can disable them seperately.
As we develop new functionality in the future, you have the ability to get a firmware update so you can always have the latest features.
Compared to other modules, the standby power demand of the Cabrio-Plus module is only 0,03mA Modules. This means that it spares your battery and ensures that your cabrio will start after a holiday or period of bad weather.

The comfort module has to be installed near the footrest of the driver. Our photo-rich, detailed manual shows exactly which steps are necessary to install the module. You just have to plug in a connector and the power supply. Nothing else is necessary and after installation your Mercedes allows a lot of convenient extra features.

The Cabrio-Plus Module is a German product and was carefully developed to avoid disruption of other controllers in the CAN-Bus network. Produced also in Germany, it has a valid E-certificate allowing trouble-free usage within the ECE.

Information regarding the standby power demand:
In the standby mode, each device consumes a small amount of power. Even complex vehicle controllers should not need more than 2,0mA to avoid an empty battery after a long standing time, e.g. after a holiday. It is even more important for convertibles, as these kinds of vehicles are sometimes not used in cold weather periods. We do not recommend installing electronic modules with a standby demand of more than 0,5mA. Due to quality engineering and manufacturing, Cabrio-Plus Modules need less than 0,03mA.

Information to the ECE approval:
In Europe, all automotive electric devices must have an E-certificate (ECC). Among other things, sufficient product safety and lack of existing component disturbance has to be proven. Put more simply, the E-certificate corresponds an ABE for electric components and replaces the ABE when components are installed in a vehicle. All Cabrio-Plus Modules have a valid E-certificate and can be installed legally in ECC. More information...
