Default Suspension mods via computer upgrade

Once again, thanks to those researching whether it's possible to lower the allroad another 20mm by reprogramming the computer.

While you guys are "hacking" away, maybe we should look into the possiblity of disabling the automatic lowering feature. Like Burt in Dallas said, it would be cool to keep the car in level 3. I know the arguments about safety, etc... but LA freeway driving in level 3 is not a hazard... no worse than any SUV anyways.

Default Re: Suspension mods via computer upgrade

I am still working on the possibility to lower the allroad and additional 20mm. Regarding your other statement, you can drive around in level 3 at all times, all you have to do is hold down the up button until the manual light comes on, and it will stay in level of your choice excluding 4.

Even on the freeway at 80MPH it will stay in L3?

Default Correct. No manual mode any more

I think audi decided it was too confusing for users.

Default I am sure that this does not work.

Not that I ever drive that fast.........

In fact I never really found any real use for manual - it still lowers at the same speeds and in the case of level 3 or 4 it stays at 2 once it gets there.

Default No it will drop to level 2...and I think if you stay at 85+ for over 5 minutes it will drop to

level 1...so I've heard
