Thread: EAS Unlock

When I plug in the EAS software it doesn't cycle and drop to access height, I have full control of the system.
Are you getting the right connection codes?
When I connect I can read the actual heights in the calibrate tab

Poleonpom, sorry if I've misinterpreted what you're getting at, but the heights in the calibration tab are the target heights, not the actual instantaneous heights which is what pbrown is trying to monitor.

I feel your pain pbrown, it seems kind of pointless having that feature in the program almost. The only way I've been able to sort of view the actual heights is by putting ball valves in each airbag line, lock them off once I think it's reached the height I think it should have, then let EAS Unlock read the values and wait till everything has finished resetting before unlocking the ball valves.

Yes the read values are just what the eas is targeting. They're not the actual height the car is at.

Wow the valves sounds like a lot of work that shouldn't have to be done.

I'm sure the Nanocom read the live/real/proper heights when you clicked read, or whatever it was a called, without power cycling or altering the height of the car. The only time the nanocom power cycled the eas was when writing the settings in the eas off memory or when first plugging it in.

So at the moment the nanocom is the best bet. Hmm better get it fixed sooner I guess. Why would they not make it like the nanocom... I liked knowing that the values I put in were reached on all corners. Reading the proper heights on mine showed that one corner was set too high so the suspension was compromising to get all 4 close to their targets, but not at.

And I guess they don't update the software at all these days.

Peter - EAS Unlock Suite was developed and published by Storey Wilson of RSW Solutions last decade. He released the software in to the public domain to help other RR enthusiasts take control of their mysterious EAS.

He has no affiliation with BBS, the maker of FaultMate and Nanocom.

Storey is a top bloke who has helped many a P38 owner over the years. When I was selling EAS Unlock cables, I made a point of splitting the small profit with Storey as a thank you for his contribution to the LR/RR community.

Hope this helps to clarify the difference between these paid-for and free/donation-ware products.

Hi Paul. Sorry I didn't mean to come across as disrespectful or unappreciative of some software someone has kindly released as a donations software and not making large profits from. Was just hoping that it could be used to replace the nanocom when it came to the eas height settings.

understood Peter, no offence taken on Storey's behalf

I tend to use EAS Unlock in favour over both my FaultMate and Nanocom when fiddling with the EAS.

On mine at least, I stop the levelling by leaving a door open.

The Nanocom is handy to watch live readings of the EAS while the car is running though.

Oh Yeh. Why didn't I think to open the door.. Cheers for that. I'll give that a go.

I don't remember the nanocom evo II having access heights though did it? That's handy on its own in this software for my mum with ducks disease.. Short legs and bum close to the ground in case you didn't realise.
