Airmatic parameter

When the CGW is set to USA one of the features of the self leveling suspension is that at 110km/h (68mph) the car lowers 15mm (5/8") which is a nice thing. However a lot of other goodies were disabled due to MBUSA being lead by lawyers.
When the CGW is set to Rest of the World you get SBC Hold, very nice feature to hold the brakes in traffic (introduced since then across the board), SBC S which brakes the car when you release the gas for stop and go traffic and other nice things like removal of the annoying belt warning. However the suspension lowers at 140km/h (87mph) which is a little bit too high.
I would like to keep the general Rest of the World setting but modify this one aspect of the suspension to the US setting.
Anybody knows if and where can I find this particular parameter in the Airmatic control?

Thank you,
Radu

Locate the correct CFF file(within DAS Xentry) edit the file and virginize the control module and reflash with edited CFF.

Plutoe, thank you very much for your answer. Can you please help me, I'm a mechanical engineer. Where/how would I find that file? How would I virginize and reflash the control module. Maybe this is above my pay grade but I would really like to get the lowering back.

Thank you.

Sorry I do not get involved with hair brained projects like yours---you need to study for six months with lots of money or talk to any tuner who will not teach you, but charge you 2000 USD for the work

You don't have to be demeaning. What may be a harebrained project for you may not be for others. I thought this forums is for sharing information and knowledge. If you don't want to then you can just say that or simply don't reply to the post anymore.

Plutoe is coming to this forum to scare the car owners and spam with his DAS.
He also scared Deplore, who is the best DAS guru I know on the net.
Contact Deplore on forum that is focused on helping car owners.

Just ignore plutoe as if he was not even there. Even if you think he may have some good input for you, move on as if he would not exist.
He enjoys doing this and has been doing this for a long time to many others.
As long as we give him the satisfaction he needs, he will never go away.


So again, IGNORE him!
