Reply from Patrick at GAP.

Thanks for the details. We are aware of theAustralian roads. In which case, you can raise the standard height to itsmaximum allowed increase which will bring you close to the Offroad height. Itwill however be a little lower depending on the actual vehicle height sensorscalibrations which account for mechanical tolerances. Generally, on a D4, wesee a possible increase of around 40 mm.

We have many customers using our tools forthis purpose and so far so good. Pretty sure someone on Aulro does it.

How do you set that up? Did you change Normal as Patrick suggested, Off Road or create a special setting?

Then be aware, when plugged in it will protrude into the foot well around your right foot, may interfere with the operation of the pedals while you drive or you may cause damage to the OBD2 port / IID if you accidently knock it getting in or out of the vehicle. This is the case with the D4, other models might be different.

The potential problem can be overcome by sourcing a right angle connector cable to remove the unit from the foot well space.

A quite valid point Ferret and I'd probably get a right angle connector to be on the safe side.

Thanks,

So in the height adjust menu I made a profile with a +40mm offset, which adds 40mm to all height settings (access, normal, off road) just leave it in factory normal height with this offset and it's basically off road height (like GAP said it's slightly less).

Thanks for the replies and the additional info. Since I only really need the vehicle raised at speed when on sand I don't need to continuously adjust it so it sounds like the Gap tool should do the job for me. I will experiment this weekend.

Yup I run my l322 at plus 40 all the time. Just a touch more clearance which is cool.

I have a BT IIDTOOL, great tool, and customer support.

I've calibrated a lower height for city driving, a normal height and an off road height. I plug in, calibrate to conditions, and unplug. Whatever the choice the car thinks it's at normal height. No speed warnings to worry about.

If left plugged in and connected the IID tool flattens the battery overnight. I did this a couple of times when trying to log an error.
I run a -10 calibration on the suspension. It gives me a little less height and a slightly plusher ride. I had the wheel alignment done at this height.

It is the connection of the phone app that causes the high drain, not the tool itself. I leave the tool plugged in but always disconnect the phone app and have no issues. This was confirmed by Patrick from Gap about a year ago and he recently reconfirmed it as still applicable.
