I installed the replacement module last weekend and now everything works great. .... Also the customer support is beyond awesome and the price is not too bad either.

Post Taken Down?
Yesterday there was a post about a group purchase of one of the models of one touch roof controls from Germany. I was very interested, but now that post has been taken down.
Does anyone know why? Was it a fraud? Does anyone know the brand of the model that was the subject of that post, or what their website is?

I think the roof module (ebay) is causing the following issues in my car. Everything was fine sunday eve, monday when I started the car I oberved the following
1) Roof Malfunction - Visit Work shop Constant beeping
2) Lcd Malfunction (Oil Graphic) - Visit Workshop
3) Passenger side window rolls down ALL the way, after few hours the car has been locked and shutoff.
4) having problem pulling the roof down
5) Passenger side seat started moving itself while I was driving
6) Driver side seat moved itself, while the car was parked in the garage over night.
This just makes me laugh. I am taking the module out today and taking it to the workshop.

we are working on a groupbuy for the mods4cars module, seems to be the most professional one at the moment, so far we can get it for under 225 euro net.
if there is anybody interested in joining the groupbuy, please send me a PM.

piecha is not a developer, he "only" resells the kufatec modules which are draining your battery in weeks and are NOT up to date regarding the functions...maybe that's the reason for the fall in prices...otherwise they would not be able to sell them anymore...
#60
you will get battery issues after not driving for 6-8 weeks (depends on which module you have installed). my battery went dead completely after 5,5 weeks, i had to buy a new one because it was deep unloaded.
but hey..maybe it was only bad luck, just ask your dealer about the power consumption, the mods4cars module takes under 1mA....

The price reduction is due to competition from other's manufacturer's, piecha was the only option when I purchased mine, in my opinion.

You might also note that the product sells for $299 in the US and ships from Kansas. If what you sent to me in a PM is correct, in the US the discount is off the US $ price, and presumably would still ship from Kansas. That takes a lot of the worry and hassle out of the purchase.
That's why I'm in.

That is NOT the case, as oli_h explained in a PM to me:
"Payment is done directly with mods4cars on their website, you will receive a special code to get the rebate. you will receive the full 2 year warranty from mods4cars, are you in?"

I might be in, but are some people reporting a problem with the system draining the battery, or is there 2 differnet units that are being discussed on this thread. The other problem is I'm in Canada, does anybody know if there is any duty on this product.
#73
the mods4cars smarttop module (which we want to order in the groupbuy) is the only module with a real standbymode, have a look at their website http://www.mods4cars.com they guarantee a power consumption of less than 1mA. all other modules on the market drain your battery with 30 (yes 30!!) or more mA !!
