obd-2 Lowering module Amazon

I don't don't know this module modifies the ride height. Previous ELM's or links spoofed the system it is at stock height. I don't know if this one simply modifies the values. If so, it would be recorded/logged.

That said, it's a question of taste. I think -32mm F/R would look great on your car
Yeah, I made such low option only for photos, drive option -32

Since these module dont work on MBC, is lowering links the only other option?

Just curious where that info is coming from?
Traditionally, ELM’s have been working with both suspension types ABC/Airmatic.
I know the Renntech OBD module works on either.

I have contacted a couple of vendors even the seller of this amazon module and so far everyone has said only 4matic. I havent check renntech because they charge too much mercedes tax. If anyone with MBC using lowering modules please send me a recommendation. Thanks

Just went to renntech website, they dont list the w222 mbc either. I wonder why this is?

MBC is pretty much ABC with a camera.

Camera scans the road and adjust the suspension to cushion the impact.

These modules are VIN locked and they do work great unless you slam your car. You may buy them from Amazon or from the http://loweringmodule.com site @ $450.00, they will ask for your VIN to make sure your model is covered.

I have one and it works amazing. If you need to raise it back up for any reason you just plug it in and pop her back up. It takes a second to figure out the interface using the comand wheel...but once you figure it out its easy. There are a couple of preset heights you can choose from, or go custom to your tastes...mine is custom (not sure of the exact settings)
If you have any questions feel free to PM me!

Hey

What is the size of wheels installed here? What module setting did you choose?
Does lowering like yours have a strong effect on driving comfort?

What happens when you press "Rise" button? Does it go back to the highest setting, or does the module allows to input settings for normal height and the raised height?

I have a LoMo 2 for sale if anyone is interested. You can change the height by using the steering wheel control buttons. You don’t have to plug anything in each time. It also can be transferred to other cars - it is not locked to the vehicle’s VIN like the OBD solutions. I have it posted in the marketplace section.

I see, so there is no way to quickly get it to +20mm (from factory setting) from -32, have to plug in the thingy I guess.

Anyone try the Next Gen LoMo M2 Lowering Module? Seems to work like the obd-2 module but isn't married to the car. Anything else available that isn't a link and just plug and play?

I got the LoMo M2 Lowering Module on my 14 S550 w/MBC suspension. You can have total 16 level adjust, +8 to -8. The below picture is set to -8 on all 4 corners.

I don't think you can resale it. Ask them before you but it. Load the program the OBD and do all the setting though your steering wheel button.
