Mini Cooper cabrio smart top roof controller

​While the mini has the ability to open the top from the factory key, the driver cannot close it from the same key. With the SmartTOP module, the driver can not only close it from the key but can also single  tap the switch in the car and the roof mechanism will open to the sunroof position or double tap for the roof to fully open. This means no longer will the driver have to pull over and hold the switch until the roof has finished it's operation. The SmartTOP will allow the roof to operate while the car is moving up to a preset speed. In all, SmartTOP is all about convenience.

Bentley Continental GT - Why you shouldn't let just anyone work on your car!

This customer purchased his Bentley Continental GT believing that the previous owner was a fastidious as he is. The vehicle was purchased with an aftermarket phone kit already installed by the previous owner. One would assume that a vehicle of this caliber would not be put in the hands of just anyone to install the kit. The new owner began to develop issues with the navigation system shortly after purchase and not even the authorised Bentley dealer (through no fault of their own ) could work out what was causing the issue. Automotive Integration was contacted to try and ascertain the reason why the navigation was locked in one location. When we removed the infotainment system, we were horrified with what we saw. The installed phone system was intercepting the data line of the vehicle and corrupting the data flow between the navigation computer and the infotainment system. After several hours of reconstructive wiring, re coding and fault code clearing, we reestablished the data network and restored the navigation to full operation  The lesson here is to ensure that the person you trust your pride and joy to knows more than how to talk the talk. Please see the before and after shots of the wiring below.  

​The Bentley infotainment system. So beautiful yet hiding such a disastrous attempt at wiring.

​The before shot of what we found on removal of the infotainment system.

​After several hours of removing and rewiring the damage done by an unqualified technician, the rear of the infotainment system looks like it did prior to the installation.
