You can't "control" it. You set the height you want during install by adjusting pins on the module. It goes from 5mm to 30mm drop in increments of 5mm.

Want the dual to quad switch. also still looking for input on the lower bumper/rear diffuser and the bottom body colored part under that. I already have the AMG body kit so i just need to purchase the lower diffuser, body colored part under it, and the quad tips. that should be all. I like the AMG look but I attached pictures of both with the quad exhaust!!

Wonderful work

I have to say it's always heartwarming to see the level of engagement of so many Mercedes Benz owners which really goes to the passion these cars invoke in us - to repair them to this level of detail. It also speaks to the collective technical capability and aptitude of many owners (i.e. like the old airline pilot story that they prefer to drive MBs because of the "feel") . Can't wait to buy a W221 S class - presently driving an old 95 S320 and an R class for its utility - but love the styling on these.

for those to fit you will need to either cut your lower valence or get an S63 style bumper

You can get the lower diffuser and body colored piece (requires painting) from Rock Auto online. Just use the VIN from an S63 when you search.

You can get the tips on EBay. Make sure you get the kind where the inlet is offset to the outside vs coming into the middle.

You will have to cut out a chunk of your bumpers inner skeleton to make room for the wider tips. Not a big problem.

The new diffuser will snap in on top and down the sides but the bottom edge will hang loose. You can use two small bungee cords to secure it to an existing screw under the car in the center of the tire well. Otherwise it will peel away at highway speeds.

I also have the Becker axle back quad exhaust from my old W221, free for pick-up only in Gainesville Florida. Includes tips.

Hi Chris ! I have a 2008 s550 I'm trying to retrofit the door shades I got as far as the new modules and door panels, I got them installed but they do not go up or down! I call the dealer but they told me that they can NOT be programmed! But I'm sure it could be done! Wondering how you were able to program them! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

The open air museum in Stockholm... Where Europe's most narrow alleyway is.

Your projects... Like the two W221s you've customized.

Inquiry regarding retrofit door sun blinds W221 short wheel base

Hello Chris,

Could you guide me regarding the parts that will be required to retrofit door sunblinds to my short wheel base W221 ?

As I understand, door panels, rolls, door controlcontrols and switches. Plus programming. Anything else? Wiring? They seem to be hard to find for short wheel base. Have you seen any available recently ?
