    Question for the Techo's.....

    Due to the prohibitive cost of purchasing the remote control & then having it re-programmed, is there a way I can hook up my own?

    I have a couple of 2 button remotes & a receiver. The receiver will operate different relays, in different configerations, depending on how it is programmed.

    What I am wondering is, can I tap into the SLS ECU to raise & lower the rear suspension? (D2, SLS, No ACE)

    Thanks guys...

    Interested in this as well. My D2 has been sagging overnight which has been a blessing for loading up & easy access overall. In it's typical lifted state & 31" rubber it's a pain & an effort.

    now you would think that someone would make a mod for the nanocom, i know it can test the air suspension and by testg it actually lowers it a little. how hard would it be to extend that and use the nanocom to lower or raise the sus ?

    More of a bump than anything...

    Any ideas?

    Found an elcheapo replacement remote, would just need to be coded for the sls. Could probably double up as the standard keyless door remote at the same time...

    The only problem with this one is that it is a learning remote. Once the frequency (433 mhz) has been set, it still needs to learn the actual code for the SLS. This means that we need to have one already programmed to the car so that the code can be taken from it.

    But I like your thinking, and it might be something that I can work with. The remote & receiver I have are also from Rhino. From past experiences, they supply good products.

    Thanks for your input.

    At the risk of eternal banishment into the world of fussy Disco 2 owners, anyone in the brains trust have an idea as to how I could go about this?

    Cheers,

    just stumbled back on this thread. i was playing with nanocom the other day and i can raise and lower the sls left and right individually about 2-3mm at a time in the SLABS testing section then the set height can be stored. i have thus set my rear up about an extra 10mm higher than was when i got it. it now appears to sit level as opposed to slightly bum down when i got it. there is also a transit mode which drops the sls onto the bump stops, although i have not tried this yet and requires a laptop to be connected to nanocom. surely the nanocom could be tapped into to raise and lower the suspension to personal preference without a laptop on hand? anyone ?

    I'd like to know where I can get pne of these nanocom's from?

    Stewie,
    The plip button needs to be held down also for this to operate, (excuse me for stating the obvious if u already know, but not sure) not just a one touch operation. If u hold the button down on the green plip, the LED will flash fast to tell the BCU to operate.
    It does take time & is also not a fast operation.
    The battery in the plip has to be good as well as your battery in the vehicle. It is probably best to have the vehilce running.

    If this doesnt work!? or works in only one direction!?, then u may have a crook connection on the pc board of the plip where one of the buttons is not soldered correctly.

    If it works in one direction which i think u said earlier, then the BCU knows the plip. It is either a dud or a small fault somewhere. Take the plip apart by removing the rear cover & see if there is signs of water inside..If so then this may be your culprit, a good clean with contact clean & it may work again or destined to the scap heap.

    You can try reprogramming with Testbook/Nanocom etc but this would mean someone here or a dealer would need to help out.

    Good luck.

    Do you know if this can be achieved using a sequence of actions or does it have to be done using a computer at a dealer or a rovacom?
