How to keep at off-road height?!?
Hey, anyone else frustrated at hearing the chimes when you approach ~25mph while at off-road height? It sure would be nice to go a "little" faster while in off-road mode. Any options to reprogram or modify? Thanks!
From talking to IID support, there is no way to silence the chime without losing offroad settings. Please let me know if this is not the case.
The whole reason for the lowering at speed was for safety rating. Extra height means less stability at speed. I forget how much I raised mine from default by simply recalibrating the height sensors. I think it was 1.5 inches. And dont forget, you will need an alignment after adjusting the height if you plan on keeping it there for everyday driving.
There theoretically could be another way around this. The sensors are likely just potentiometers reading a variable resistance in the sensor itself. One could develop an inline set of potentiometers that alters the resistance value. This depends on the readings though, does resistance increase with height or decrease? But the idea would be to simply trick the computer into false readings. It would have no clue and simply adjust heights and carry on. A system was developed like this for the Mark VIII I had. One could adjust the height on the fly at any time without errors.
