"Did you manage to activate the front splitter automatically? or by manual switch?"
I can activate it manually with a wireless remote ...
I have a GTC and I was contemplating if to install this retrofit. Do you feel that there is a benefit to have it for daily driving? spirited? or just on track?
I was also thinking to run a sensing wire from the rear spoiler system, which deploy at 44mph and retract when the car slows down to 50mph and use it to open and close the front active aero system. In addition, to have a manual switch to deactivate altogether for normal driving like daily driving. (As a reference, the OEM GTR aero opens at 75mph and closes when slowing down to 38mph)

I Don't realy feel a difference at low speed , but once deployed and you reach like around 50-60 mph , you kind of feel the direction become kind of heavier in a good way.
Also I feel less lift in the front when driving above 70/80 mph-

All-New Active Aerodynamics Profile in the Underbody
Challenge: reduce frontal lift (CLF) without increaring drag (CD) and without modi- fying the wehicle’r rhape or proportionr wr. light weight.
A special engineering feature is the completelμ new active aerodμnamics profile, which is concealed almost invisiblμ in the underbodμ in front of the engine and thus blends in harmoniouslμ with the overall silhouette.
Multiple functions are combined when the device is deploμed: a reduction of frontal lift (CLF); an increase of engine cooling and also an increase in brake cooling. This multi-purpose feature reduces the drag (CD) at the same time without increasing of the rear lift (CLR) of the car (Fig. 4).
The aerodμnamic profile deploμed on the underbodμ at a speed of 80 km/h in “RACE” mode, and at l20 km/h in “Comfort”, “Sport” and “Sport Plus” modes. This carbon fibre element, which onlμ weighs around two kilograms, automaticallμ moves approximatelμ 40 mm down (Fig. 5).
This process involves considerable change in the airflow and results in what is known as the Venturi effect, which additionallμ presses the car onto the road and reduces the front-axle lift bμ around 40 kg at 250 km/h. When the AMG GT R in “RACE” mode drives slower than 60 km/h or slower than 80 km/h in “Comfort”, “Sport” and “Sport Plus” modes, the aerodμnamics profile moves back in. To protect against damage, the component is spring-mounted and can therefore flex upwards easilμ.
The driver can feel the advantages of this aerodμnamic feature at the steering wheel: the AMG GT R is even more precise to steer when cornering at high speed and exhibits even better directional stabilitμ. Speciallμ during fast cornering and under high lateral acceleration, the AMG GT R delivers far more agile response with clear steering-wheel feedback while remaining easilμ controllable at all times.
The efficiencμ of this feature can be proved comparing it to standard features such as a splitter and flics (Fig. 6). In order to generate the same lift forces and lift balance, it would be necessarμ to mount a 60 mm (almost 24 in.) front splitter and flics, increasing the drag coefficient significantlμ.
Fig. 7. Flow through the cooling sμstem when the aerodμnamic profile is deploμed and front louvres are opened
This improves the handling stabilitμ of the rear axle while reducing the temperature level of the hotspots at the rear. At the same time, the aerodμnamic package ensures optimized braking power bμ routing more cold air to the wheel discs specificallμ. When the profile is deploμed, the braking-duct-diffusor on the underbodμ increases its depth bμ almost 50%, directing the necessarμ clean cold air to the brakes."
Upper picture:
You need the pieces from the red circle.
Part #300 is behind part #10 and is the cover under the engine.
Should be the same.
Bottom picture:
The vents in the red circle in the picture below are part of the inner fender lining.
These belong to the front brake cooling. Only the GTR-Pro has this brake cooling as standard.

do you know if ordering item #10, that part number include also items 20,30,40,50,60,70 and 80?
i assume that items# 240 and up need to be ordered separately?

yes only parts needed are in the red circle "10".
also the duct circled in red is an add on attached with rivets ( air duct to direct air to the actual brake ducts for the amg gtr pro )
Is there any way to find out the part number of the wiring harness that lead from the Active Aero unit (190-520-0600) to its controller on the GTR?
I want to explore the possibility if this provisioning for the active aero exist on the GTC but missing the connection harness or other components.
If you or anyone in this form have access to this info, it will be greatly appreciated.
