Just read up on Xlifter, has 7 height settings, wireless comms to the hidden controller and upgradeable software. Levelling feature is cool (max 4.5 degrees). Apparently smart phone app coming soon, this may do away with the controller altogether.
Me like very much.
As soon as you have to get your phone out, open an app, it’s lost on me. Something like this needs to be split second change - eg switch, controller.Quote:

You know what, I’m wondering the same thing. I’m a tech person, but if I have to open an app why not just buy an iid and adjust the height with that.Quote:

I have had my D4 since new and done a heap of off road work,and never really needed any of them.Quote:

I have the GAP tool,but never used it to raise the vehicle.
The unit comes as standard with a wireless controller (your "switch") The blurb on the website talks about being able to upgrade the controller via a smartphone app as a later upgrade.Quote:

Llams is hardwired to the control knob and has no levelling feature other than what the car already does.
Both seem really capable.
GAP iid and Rovacom VCIQ are diagnostic devices that can be used to calibrate the EAS only.
Ah ha. You sir are wrong here. Gap has a dedicated menu with three preset height settings just for going off-road. Open app, into menu, push new height setting. New height attained. They are configurable to whatever mm raise or lower you’d like within the parameters of the EAS.Quote:

When I was getting my car serviced recently the Indy had a Xlifter on show. Price was $780 from memory. The Llams is about $580. So there is a difference in price. Is that difference worth the extra height settings and self leveling aspect of the Xlifter? I do not sleep in my car so the leveling aspect is lost for me. I use the LLams as the car is always on its lowest setting around town as it makes getting into the car easier my my old body.
