Ok guys my google and AW and AZ searches are coming up fairly empty handed. I ordered the Cete Auto active suspension module. The instructions are for the A6/A7. I get the plug n play thing but here's what I'm lost on...
How do you get to the module??
There's no instructions specific to an A8 and I don't have the money for "guess work" if something goes south. So to those of you who installed, Any tips or suggestions and insight you could impart would be fantastic.
Also the instruction for show 3 different variants and I'm assuming the pre facelift variant applies to me. But for the full venting where is that hook up located? I guess there's so many questions because I'm going in blind on this.
For those who may be able to help, but need more info, here's the non-specific instruction I found. I don't know which plug is which off the top of my head. Here's also a photo of the device;
1 & 2: Purple and grey connectors. You unplug the respective plugs from the sockets in your car, plug in the plugs from the module, and plug in the plugs from your car in to the respective socket side of the module. Exactly like you would do with an engine piggy back module.
3 & 4: CAN-BUS pins. You have to take out the CAN-BUS plug, and plug in two pins to the empty slots at position 12. Removing the CAN-BUS plug from the retaining socket was a pain in the *** because there is very little room in trunk fuse wiring area, and there isn't much play in the wiring.
5: Module plug. Plug this in to the black module box. The harness also comes with a dummy plug that you can use in place of the black module box to return the car to stock functionality without having to remove the entire harness.
here is a little markup. Start with unplugging modules or removing whole units. After you do all that, move to taking the screws out. You will need a pair or wire snippers in my experience. There are a lot of zip ties that need to be cut in order to move the fuse panel forward. The wabco (main air suspension module is behind everything, where the arrow says). You should be able to pull the fuse panel forward a bit, maneuver your hand in to swap those 2, it is not easy.
You won't be able to plug in to a wrong spot. So if it fits, it's right.
Ok awesome!! I wasn't sure if that all needed to actually come off or not. Not sure if you PM'd the right guy cause I didn't receive anything. Thanks for the help!!
Hi, i was wondering if you guys can tell me why in the menu the connetion has a blue checkmark but under that is says CAN 00 with a red checkmark. Module was installed in an audi s8 2013. Also when its asking to put my password i type it and i hit confirm and just stays there. And last thing i tried to connect the wires (yellow/back and yellow/brown) to the 12h and 12L on the canbus plug but the pins number12 already have wires in them is that where they should be hooked up or on my car is under the seat for full venting?
Hi am trying to connect the ASC on a 2013 audi S8 and i have couple wiring questions that its not clear on the instructions. First there isnt loose wires coming from the main harness there is a little tiny plug with two wires, are those for the canbus or venting the instructions say that they are for venting so where are the canbus wires? Second is that the instructions say that the full venting wires get connected under the back seat but there isnt a plug that looks like the one in the pictures not even close. I attached pictures to see what the car looks like. First pic is the under the back seat , second is a picture of where the ASC goes(behind there) and in a circle is one plug that looks like the one that supposed to be under the seat but isnt the same. And last picture is a long harness amd that one has loos wires but isnt that harness for the venting? [img]cid:82B78883-9B66-4FDC-AE72-F6184766BE38[/img]

Reason: Add pics
Benefit of this is controlling the suspension to whatever height you want thru Bluetooth without having to plug into vagcom.
Also bud I have no idea how to plug up the full venting option and can’t get an answer from the manufacturer. Honestly just gonna throw the 22’s on it and call it a day since it’s already dumped for its ride height.
