As Garry points out the dealers tend to charge what l think is a large sum for a very quick procedure. In Newcastle l believe in the order of $120 for the priviledge of TTM. That is the reason l asked the question to start with.

Gordon, thanks for your input as well. If it works that is definitely a cheaper option.

Given that l'm a curious sort, and since l know the tyre dealership owner pretty well, l was thinking of aligning the car in "Normal suspension mode", then getting it put in TTM and see if it makes any difference. Has anyone done this before? It might be a way to sort out this question for good.

Not for a wheel alignment, but seeing as I can now set it, I set TTM whilst the vehicle was on a slightly uneven surface. With the engine running, normal height was set and the vehicle sat quietly, but set TTM and the suspension was constantly adjusting, presumeably trying to get all wheel heights at their target heights which was impossible due to the uneven surface. I could not detect if and by how much the geometry was changing. BTW, TTM works in off-road mode too.

Not really - it's a consequence of having such a versatile and adjustable air suspension system. I can't really think of a way they could have designed around this without compromising the system in some way.

Other than fitting coils ...............

Or having a TTM setting built into the car systems that the owner can select when required.
