They charged me for 1 hour labor, which costs, I think.. $80.00. I don't know why the SA charge me $112.00... maybe the change is for his lunch money...j/k

i seemed to manage to fix the BiX but i couldnt adjust the bix itself.. Whats wrong with it? I turned it to the left, nothing happened. And i couldnt turn the adjuster to the right. I just changed my bulbs to 8000k, are those the problem? Or improper installation of the bulbs? Thanks.

How many auto leveling sensors are in front and rear axle???
Its just one on the rigth side or there is two on each axle?
I'm thinking installing the auto-leveling future, I installed BIX but when I'm travelling with 4 people in the car all the other drivers start to flash on me, because my headligths are to high and are blinding them, but its only when I carry some lugage or two people in the back, not that oftem but, it sucks...
And like CitronC230K_03 sayed, it adjust also when driving uphills and downhills, when there is a road change, I have factory BIX on my wagon and its much better in the daily driver, since the roads here are not that flat

There are two sensors. One for the front, one for the rear. You also need some cables, mounting bits, and a dealers' computer to calibrate them.

My only doubt was how many sensors for axle, because I'm listing the parts needed to get some prices, and for now, I don't think all system is expensive considering the benefits... +-190€ installing it myself

The front/rear axle diagram doesnt show cable connections.
I did this work on a car last week (W203 2006) and I can assure you that you will need more than a screwdriver to make the install.
At the very least one rear spring has to come out and how much would that tool cost ?
