Programa v2 speed setting

What's up everyone! I just picked up my e55 yesterday and am loving every moment of driving it. The previous owner had pre-installed a programa v2 on the car. My question is, I noticed if in the settings if I choose our car (e-class), the speed settings are not accessible. If I choose CLS as the car, the settings can now be accessed. Does any one with experience on the module know if I would be doing any harm by selecting a different model? Is there a better model to choose for our cars? The settings seem to raise and lower the same whether I choose e-class or cls.

Thanks for any input.

The speed settings are available for the R230, yet they don't work on my 2003 SL55 as well as other R230 owners who have posted/inquired about this feature . (when asked, programa says it MIGHT not work on all years) .

Please post if the speed settings actually work on your e55 while CLS (or any other model) is selected.

Cheers,
Chris

I am 75% sure it works but can't be 100 since it's impossible for me to see my car while driving. The evidence I have is that my car at the lowest settings would definitely rub if the car did NOT raise while driving. The second piece of evidence telling me it works is one time when I parked my car really fast after driving, the car must not of had time to lower itself again because it was aired up when I parked.

If you data logged one of more of your height sensors (or even just hooked up a DVM and balanced it on your knee) you should be able to confirm that it is in fact working. Likely the simplest to measure is voltage drop across the V2 (input compared to output at the V2 for any of the sensor circuits).

I would love to contribute for science but it's beyond my technical abilities and I don't have a voltmeter.
