Was a bit nervous about tking trim off the car and using a laptop to "tune" this, but it was very easy and what a difference to the car, a massive difference, now it feelslike a proper sports car that you dont get stuck crawling along and cos mine is an auto, I can go from park to drive woithout the whole thing stopping, was a costly purchase but easliy the best thing ive done to the car so far!

Delivery of SmartTop was quick and decided to go for this when available at 10% discount on August bank holiday. I feel it is still expensive, but have to add it was a breeze to fit . Watch the you tube installation videos and you can't go wrong. Makes all the difference as now no more haters peeping me at lights if hood operation not complete and can not really move. One touch operation is so much better, and yes if you need to disengage the operation you just have to press once again to halt the roof if you need to do so, and then continue by pressing again. This is so much better and how the the car should come from factory. Guessing H&S fears caused it to be set at 6 mph. You just have to be sensible and now can keep both hands on the wheel.

Big improvement! It's a lot of money but so convenient and really enhances the usability of the roof. The ability to simply flick the button and have the roof be auto closing as I manouvre into my driveway is very nice (OK, not exactly essential, but then either is a sports car (or so they tell me)). I have mine set to one-touch operation and enabled up to 50km/h (31mph) and already I've seen the benefits of these settings.Fitting is easy.I plugged the unit into my computer and checked that the firmware was up to date using the m4connect program (link is in the instruction PDF). The firmware was indeed up to date.Then I configured the unit in the way that I wanted also using m4connect. All the options can be configured by pressing various combinations of the roof control button in the car but the point-and-click interface of the program is easier.Fitting itself was straight forward and pretty easy: remove some plastic trim from the sill and behind the seats, remove some electrical plugs, plug in the new harness for the unit, plug the unit in to the harness and reassemble everything. It probably only takes about half an hour.It's a bit fiddly working under/behind a semi-removed propped up plastic trim panel behind the seat but you only need to access one nut and two plugs under there so it's not that big a deal.The instructions are very clear. The only thing that I wasn't sure about was that the instructions show a picture of a LHD car and mine is RHD. I suspected things would be the same in either layout but, just to confirm - they are (i.e. you need to access the left side in both car configurations - in LHD the unit goes behind the driver's seat, in RHD behind the passenger).Removal (should I need/want to do it) will also be easy (just a reversal of fitting). Once removed, the car will be exactly as it was - there is no cutting, drilling, soldering, Scotchblocks or anything like that involved during fitting.Rather than use the double-sided sticky pad provided to fix the unit in place, I used a bit of sticky velcro to attach the unit to the carpet behind the trim panels. That was just a personal preference and it will make removal even easier. Any downsides? Kind of, but not really (or probably not really possible to address). It would be nice if the unit could somehow have some software that allows it to be configured using the Mazda Connect screen. I understand why that simply might not be possible (i.e. a third party device hacking into the car's system). However, perhaps a 'phone app (possibly even Andoid Auto enabled) that could somehow interface with the unit (bluetooth?) could be something for future development for these kinds of units? As it is, unless you plug a laptop or something into the unit in the car (possible via the USB cable provided with the unit that you can leave poking out from the trim behind the seat), you have to rely on using different combinations and durations of presses of the roof control button and listening to combinations of beeps from the car warning buzzer to tell you the state of the various options for the unit. It's a little clumsy. Ultimately, better configuration control is just a "nice to have" and once you have your preferences set, you will have little reason to change them. However, the instructions do recommend disabling the unit before you put the car into a garage for servicing etc. so some sort of off-switch that is easier than disabling via the roof-button configuration combinations would have been nice.I'm also not really sure why so many options for speed limits exist (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 km/h) but that's hardly a drawback. I just picked 50 (31mph) but I guess if someone wants the other values, they are available to them.Short version of the above: pricey, easy to fit, can be removed cleanly, enhances the roof operation significantly, configuration via computer is straightforward, configuration using in-car buttons is clumsier but will rarely be needed. A worthwhile enhancement in my opinion.

well took a little convincing that needed this smart controller but after a 45 min fit to the car and a day out with use of the unit...... I would not be without it my roof is quicker to retract & feels a smoother operation one touch button control is just the ticket and its an easy fit

In my opinion this is an essential upgrade. Allows one-touch opening/closing at up to 30mph (also in reverse) so no need to get caught in the rain! Also great pose value when arriving or setting-off LOL. Took 30 minutes to install.

Really great little unit that does a lot in make the experience of owning the RF much more convenient.Please remember to update the software to the latest 1.20 as this adds the valet mode to the program. If you live in the Northwest of England I would be happy to fit this for you for the price of a pint.

Delivery Information - MX5 Parts

We understand that its really important for you to receive your goods in a timely fashion and for a competitive price. To ensure that we can deliver this we have developed a strategic partnership with both the Royal Mail and our courier partner, Think Worldwide.

At the present time, we only offer one delivery option ‘our carrier’. We will dispatch your goods with the most suitable carrier, for main land UK deliveries this is normally Royal Mail 1st class for packages weighing under 1.5kg and Think Worldwide for those that are over.

Our delivery charges are based on the weight of the consignment and the destination address. For UK mainland deliveries they start at £1.97 for a package weighing under 300g and rise to a MAXIMUM of £9.95 for a package weighing 1.5kg or over (EXCEPT very large bulky items that have an additional shipping surcharge added). The exact delivery cost will be clearly displayed at checkout.

Delivery times are estimated at 1-3 working days by Royal Mail, and 1-2 working days by Think Worldwide for mainland UK addresses. If you order before 3pm, Monday to Friday, we will dispatch the same day. If you order after 3pm, we will try to dispatch the same day, but if we cant it will be the next working day. Items ordered after 3pm Friday or over a weekend will be dispatched Monday. Items dispatched on Friday are for delivery the following week. Items ordered over a Bank Holiday will be dispatched the next working day. MX5parts is constantly updated to keep pace with changes in our stock but demand is high and we occasionally run out of popular items. If we have run out of stock and can’t dispatch your order the next working day, we’ll email or phone you with a revised dispatch date. You can then either accept the revised dispatch date or cancel the order, as you wish. Please note, shipping times are an estimate, and can not be guaranteed. Please note that during special offer periods, dispatch of your order may be delayed slightly due to high a volume of orders.

A signature is required for ALL orders delivered by Think Worldwide. Someone must be at your delivery address to sign for your parcel between 8am and 6pm on a working day. Please send it somewhere it can be reliably signed for, like your place of work, a neighbour, or perhaps your grans. We can (but we don’t like to) ask the courier to leave your parcel without a signature. If we do this, it will be YOUR responsibility if the parcel is lost or damaged. If you want it left, you need to give us your express instructions in the ‘additional information’ box at the end of the checkout process. It would be helpful if you could also indicate exactly where the package should be left.

If you need to change your delivery address, for any packages that have been dispatched with Think Worldwide, there will be an additional charge of £9.95 if the package has already been dispatched.

Please remember, even with Royal Mail deliveries, that any items which are too large to fit through your letter box will need someone to be available to receive the delivery. If the item cannot be delivered, you will be carded and given the option of either a re-delivery or you can collect your parcel from your local post office depot.

Orders sent to countries outside the UK will be sent VAT free, however please note that on all international shipments, the recipient is responsible for any local VAT, import duty and other clearance fees that may be charged.

Our Guarantee - MX5 Parts

We guarantee that you’ll be satisfied with mx5parts!

You have our absolute commitment as fellow MX-5 owners, car nuts, internet users and hard-working people that you’ll be satisfied with mx5parts. If you’re not, let us know and we’ll sort it out!

We guarantee “always fair prices”

MX5parts maintains an everyday savings pricing policy. We watch other retailers closely and maintain competitive pricing. The internet being the beast it is means that any Tom, Dick or Henrietta can set up a website in their back room and charge bargain basement/off the back of a lorry (guv) prices. Often they will have no stock, no returns policy, questionable security, no guarantees and of course poor customer service. MX5parts strives to be open and honest, so we will never inflate our prices to set up an artificial ‘sale’ (a common – and illegal – retail practice).

It is inevitable in an open market like the internet that there will be some individuals selling some items cheaper than we do, and some selling them for more than we do, just as in the high street. We take great pride in offering a fast, efficient, friendly and secure shopping experience, with great products at fair prices. We encourage our customers to shop around, but are very pleased to welcome them back again and again.

We guarantee to despatch your order when we say we will

If you order before 3pm, Monday to Friday and we have your items in stock , we’ll despatch the same day . If you order after 3pm, we’ll still try to despatch that day but, if we can’t, we’ll despatch the following day. Items ordered after 3pm Friday or over a weekend will be despatched Monday. Items despatched on Friday are for delivery the following week. Items ordered over a Bank Holiday will be despatched the next working day. MX5parts is constantly updated to keep pace with changes in our stock but demand is high and we occasionally run out of popular items.

Please note that during special offer periods, dispatch of your order may be delayed slightly due to high a volume of orders.

We guarantee to replace any goods which aren’t suitable

We guarantee to accept back any goods that you do not want, are not suitable, have changed your mind about, infact, for ANY reason, provided the goods reach us within 30 days of dispatch from us, in their original condition and packaging. Please tell us why you are returning the items, just for our records. The original purchase price of the goods will be refunded on to the card that was used for their purchase. Sorry, but we can not refund the carriage costs.

We guarantee full warranty support on all items

We guarantee that we will only charge your credit/switch card when your goods are dispatched

This is your right under UK law and, if we do anything else, it’s illegal!

(Please note: This doesn’t apply however if you have chosen to pay via PayPal. Due to the way PayPal works, you are effectively sending the money to us rather than us asking for it so in this instance we will have received payment at the time the order was placed and not when it is ready for dispatch).

We guarantee that we won’t pass your email details on to anyone else

Absolutely not. All your details are treated as strictly confidential. We’re internet users, too, and we know how annoying unsolicited email can be. We wouldn’t risk annoying you by being the cause of it.
