Are your headlights tinted? Or is it the lighting from the sun in that second pic?

Looking clean Manuyc!!

How flexible is programming the V2 ELM?

Is there a way to have the car drop all the way when you park and lock the car? Then, raise back up when you start the car and drive? (Similar to proper aftermarket air ride.)

There is no programming per say the ELM V2.

You get a hardwired remote that allows you to lower or raise the vehicle in 5mm increments. I believe the max was 50mm.

So you could drop the car as low as you want with the remote before locking it and then raise it back up when you leave.

Car looks great! Thinking of this ELM also. When you have the car lowered and lock it in position does the car still automatically lower more after 75 mph? What happens if you install this once your car has been star lowered already?

is the lowering only controlled by a remote or can you also control the height via the steering wheel controls? is that even possible with another module?

The stock button to raise the car up still works. Because I have to raise the car up to get into my driveway or it will hit the fender.
I set it one just below the lowest setting in the front. And two below the lowest in the back.

It's all fully functionable modual. If you feel that it's to low or to high and want to set the ride height different again just unscrew the modual and dial the knobs to the right ride height you want it to sit at. I put the modual right under the passenger dashboard and behind the carpet it has long enough wires to pull it out and work with

looks good!

I know of one member who had a problem with a loose connection actually in the remote, but he fixed that.

Remote works great , i think its the best ELM out there better than the v3 as it doesnt need a laptop!

OUCH. Last year a member was selling brand new v2's for $700, granted it was a GB.

Thats why I won't make an offer. . .

OP - Looks good, I'm star lowerd and I'm thinking of a v2 also so I have even more flexiblity.
