@Cheshi143

Your translation skills are awesome

Well done sir.

 

[jzwu]

Sorry, I was waiting for a Chinese version to translate.

Undoubtedly, @Cheshi143 did a good job translating the English version.

@Cheshi143 Does this appear to be the same thing?

V16.2 Piwis Tester II Diagnostic Tool For Porsche With CF30 Laptop

If so, I feel a little bit robbed at buying the Cargraphics lowering module, if for a lower price I could just set the height AND modify other things like you are suggesting.

Reading on their website, that one appears to be an older software version, for Porsche models up to just b4 the Macan. You might b driving ur next one before they have a full software update for Macans. They'd have to have some forum advocates saying it works b4 I'd buy one.

Tkank you

Basically the dealer or repair shop just needs to go into the air suspension control module with the PIWIS and add 20 millimeters to your current suspension settings input by the factory, you have to add to the number on the Macan to make the car go lower. They may try to subtract because this it how it works on the Cayenne and Panamera, but the Macan is different.

Here is an example of what they would do, these numbers are arbitrary, so do not use them in your own car.

Left Front original coding 414, they would add 20 to make it 434
Right Front original coding 416, they would add 20 to make it 436
Left Rear original coding 418, they would add 20 to make it 438
Right Rear original coding 414, they would add 20 to make it 434.

This is basically the logic behind it and these numbers do not mean anything, so do not input them into the car, I have no idea what your factory settings are as each car may be slightly different, they are set at the factory based upon many different parameters.

Also do this at you own risk, as I have no clue on how this will affect your warranty or the service life of the air suspension.

In my opinion, the car actually would look better if you lower the front by 10mm more than the rear, because of the shape of the wheel arches, sometimes the Macan looks as if it is squatting in the back.

Also 20mm is less than and inch and to be honest, it will not even look like you have lowered the car.

Can someone confirm that to adjust it lower you add the value in the PIWIS per the screenshot below?

Loved some of the accessible "hidden" features coming from the Audi world. Anyone know if you can code the LED strip below the headlights to always be on? Currently they are only on when the main headlights are on as well.

What are Porsche dealers charging to reprogram/lower the suspension settings

I know this is an old thread, but I found a tech who will do this for $150

What area are you in?

 

[Smokinjoe14]

The trick is finding someone with a PIWIS II that is willing to do the changes. On my Macan, I was able to have the air suspension lowered by 40mm on all four corners by recoding the control module and there are many other changes that you can do too.

@Cheshi143 was there any long term issues that arose after the 40mm drop? Do you still have the same Macan?

I have one of the aftermarket modules. I can tell you that I would be really nervous about leaving it 40mm down if you live in an area like I do where there are plenty of roads in poor condition. On the other hand if I lived in an area where the roads are pretty much always in good condition or better, I would not be very concerned at all.

Can't the Macan be lowered by 40mm when in the factory low setting (console button?) Turning this button off would then raise it by the factory amount of raise, and then you also have the off-road higher setting - just that all these settings would be 40mm lower than the stock setting?

I live in a flat area, with decent roads in Socal. My last car sat about 3-4" off the ground, so the Macan will sit much higher than that.

Also, I think I'll go with -30mm, then use Low Setting to achieve the -40mm I want, so if I need extra clearance above the +10 from Normal, then Offroad +40mm will be pleeeeenty of room to clear speed bumps, deep road dips, etc.

In the PIWIS screen shot does this 20 mm difference equal the rake ? Doesn’t it look backwards to you ?

Vorne Links. 181
Vorne rechts 181 FRONT

Hinten links 161
Hinten rechts161. REAR

A 20mm difference is about 3/4".....which seems like a bit more that the 1/2" (~13mm) I've read about and measured on my own car. I would not necessarily expect equal values front and rear to yield equal wheel gaps.....so I would recommend confirming your car's current wheel arch height, front and rear, before adjusting.

The logic in PIWIS is backwards for what you would expect in this case. To lower the car, you have to increase the value. This was confirmed earlier in this thread....see post number 13.
Fun stuff!

Oh cool, I used to have a PIWIS for working on a 987. Neat that someone figured out how to get the PIWIS II in DIY hands.

Forget lowering the Macan. Let's talk about your boat
