Anyone tried this OBD2 Lowering Module?

Seems you have more interest on this than others and promoting his products? No stores, the module didn’t work and seller agreed to take back the module and pay for return shipping as seen on the messages and then when the package gets back to the seller, he refused the package and was sent back to me and to make matters worst, he blocks me on eBay. I’m not worried, file it with eBay and my credit card company so I’ll get my money back one way or another. Just wanted other buyers to know how he operates when his module doesn’t work.

I also had issues.
I ended up with 3 of them. He didnt ask me to return the first 2 nor did he hesitate offering a full refund or sending me the replacements.

While there have been a few mixed messages within the overwhelming approval of the OBD lowering module, I have to say what an amazing experience and product it has been for me.
l researched and researched along with asked if it would work on my 2012 CLS 550 (w218) Launch Edition with the oldest NTG 4.0 COMAND. Spoke with the seller through these forums, got clarification and pulled the trigger on the purchase. Shipping was about a week (fast considering distance), followed instructions of VirtualRain and it worked like a charm!
I’m on the stock Launch Edition 19’s currently and did Custom -30 Front, -35 Rear. Kept it in Comfort mode as I feel it rides smoother than Sport. No rub on dips or speed bumps in anyway and overall very satisfied.
Here are some before and after photos! Sorry car is a bit dirty. Cheers to all the insight and questions answered by everyone! Thank you.
**On a side note, I’m close to purchasing my aftermarket wheels and will sell these 19” OEM Launch Edition wheels with tires.**
Thanks,
Angelo

How did you like the ride with it lowered? I lowered mine with re-calibration and felt the ride was a little bumpy. Felt a lot more bumps in the road. Of course I do know that when you lower anything, you sacrifice ride comfort a bit. Maybe I've been too spoiled with the stock ride comfort.

Many people put it in sport AND lowered it.

That's the same as what's on my grille, but wrapped in black, and mine's the regular one. The star houses all of the Distronic Plus equipment so it's different to the star on cars without Distronic Plus

W205 C250 AMG-Line
Hi there, I have a W205 C class with airmatic. I was wondering how the setting will affect each of the different modes. Say if I used the module to set the ride height in Comfort mode. Does it mean the ride height setting will remain the same as factory in Sports and Sports+ modes?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
Has anyone even heard of this before? It seems too good to be true.
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/282861752179...m=282861752179
https://youtu.be/x_riDTTlcvY
EDIT: So I purchased one of these recently and thought I would write my full review here. I ordered through the Ebay link above and when the seller found out I was in Canada, he offered to have is Canadian partner send me one. I think they are on the other side of the country, but it still got here in a few days.
The device is super small and compact and plugs into the OBDII port under the dash.
The device is as pictured here (although mine is blue). It plugs into the OBD Port and provides a menu on your COMAND screen allowing you to lower the ride height or return it to stock.
The menu system is straight-forward and simple
On my C218 2016 CLS550, I don't have a touch pad as shown in the video so you navigate using the numeric keypad on the head unit... 2 and 8 are up and down, 4 and 6 are left and right, and 5 is enter. Very straight forward.
The device comes with three options for ride-height:
- Factory
- Low (-32mm)
- Custom (you set the front and rear drop yourself)
There are two menu options:
1. The current setting applied and the setting you want to apply (one of: Factory/Low/Custom)
2. The ride height settings for the custom option (Front drop and Rear drop)
I wanted a drop of about 20mm so I started with a custom setting of -15/-15 and that wasn't enough for me. I ultimately settled on -25 front and -20 rear to get the ride height dialled that I like. This gave me a ride height about 20mm lower than factory. Note that it's not accurate to the mm. I suggest you lower it on a very flat surface and use a yard stick held up to the fender aligned with the wheel hub to measure before/after height. Here's what I found using different custom settings:
Front Left Factory: 690mm (ground to fender on my yardstick)
With Custom -15mm = 677mm (actual drop of 13mm)
With Custom -20mm = 675mm (actual drop of 15mm)
With Custom -25mm = 670 (actual drop of 20mm)
When I asked the seller about the slight discrepancy, he aptly pointed out that the system is only accurate to +/-5mm due to a variety of factors at play in the system, so you may have to play with your custom setting if you're as picky as I am.
I found I had to dial in a -25 setting to get my desired 20mm drop on the front, but only -20mm to get an actual 20mm drop on the rear. You may have to experiment similarly.
The beauty is that this system is so easy to adjust. You can dial in new settings in about 30 seconds and see the results instantly.
The bottom line: This system really does make any other lowering option for Airmatic cars look foolish in comparison. No mechanical work, no wiring, it really couldn't be easier to change settings, or revert to stock any time. I wish all my previous cars had been this easy and affordable to lower.
Feel free to contact the seller for more info. I've exchanged several emails with him and he's a great guy based in Eastern Europe.. He's invested a lot of effort into this product and it shows. He deserves every dollar he makes from this. It's a great device.
Here's how you use it:
- Turn the ignition ON but not the engine
- Insert the device into the OBD port
- The menu will appear on the screen
- Select one of the preconfigured settings or set your own custom setting
- Apply the setting (it will take a few seconds for it to write this to the car)
- Remove the device
- Turn off the ignition
- The next time you start the car (even immediately) it will adjust to the new ride height.
You can have it in whatever mode you want when you start (sport or comfort).
The Sport and Comfort button still works as expected. Sport is still about 10mm lower than Comfort. I will actually use the comfort setting more often now when I have others in the car.
Here's some quick photos of the 20mm drop on my car with my new Rohana RC10 20" wheels (245/35 front, 285/30 rear)...

Recently purchased this for my 2014 CLS550. Love the module so far! Ive been driving on "Low" setting, was wondering if a wheel alignment should be done to the vehicle if im going to be driving mostly on "low" mode?

I've only done the alignment on it when I got the wheels, which was 1.5 years ago. Runs pretty smooth.
Hope that answers your question. But I'm no expert on this.

Got my lowering module from the guys at Amazon. Been planning to buy for a long time and was very happy when I found out the seller was offering a $70 discount on 2014 Mercedes and older.

Or you can verify the fitment by contact the customer service on their website directly (the first link).
