Wow! I'm looking at getting a 2018 SQ5 in that same color hopefully soon. That black optics package looks nice on that color tho. Chrome delete would probably be one of the first things I do to it.
Hey, Lance I was wondering if you can get a measurement from you once you lower it to the lowest point. Im in a wheelchair and just want to make sure it will work for me to jump in and out of SQ5.
@@midtenn_life you get to the suspension heights in each mode of the MMI ?. for example, leave the comfort mode with the factory settings and lower the auto mode by 10mm and the dynamic mode by 20mm?.
@@sebs3red689 not sure if this will answer but when you have it hooked up you literally have control over each "preset" that you have on the MMI. If you want to leave one at the default setting then you just don't adjust it.
Hi Lance, great video thanks for this. Will be doing the same to my wife's car. I had a question regarding your front grill. mine has a license plate on there and there are 2 slats missing when I remove the plates. Did yours always have them or is there a specific part I should be looking for
You are welcome, glad you enjoyed it. Always looking to put up more content on our cars since there is none out there specifically for how to do mods, all kind of reviews but I already have the car LOL. So mine was already like that. I bought it in KY and they don't require front plates. I would contact your local dealerships parts department and ask them. They should be able to tell you if you can just add those parts on or if you need to order up a whole new grill. Sorry I don't have that specific answer but that is where I would start. They can probably give you the part number also and you can shop around to see if you can get it cheaper.
I had the same thing. If you want to remove the license plate bracket it will leave 2 rectangular holes. Unfortunately to cover the holes there is a part number from the dealer that sell you the rectangular covers. The bad thing is that they cost around 120.00 dollars for the set. You can try eBay but they cost around the same price as the dealer.
that's a power bolt. this should normally only be used once on an Audi. the bolt must have come loose somewhere. did you find out where the bolt came from? looks like a spark coil bolt.
Curious about your experience changing modes. Does the height change take effect right away? Also with show mode : just have ignition on, set show mode in app, then turn car of and it lowers? Thanks!
So yes, when you make a change it does happen right then. So if you are driving and change it, it will change, also a good chance you will get some sort of suspension height error but it goes away when you restart the car. I don't use show mode very much at all, but when i used it I would turn the car off, exit it, open the app and put it in show mode and it would change. Pretty sure the car is still supplying power for a little bit after the ignition is turned off so that is probably why it works.
nice! can you set different heights to correspond to the different car drive select settings (ie comfort, dynamic, efficiency, auto)? so you don't have to constantly being going into the app to adjust the height and can just do it via the drive select buttons? for example I would want comfort mode to be set to max height to act as a makeshift nose lift to clear driveways and other obstacles but then would want to be able to switch to a lot lower height via dynamic mode (which I drive in most of the time) all while on the move via the car buttons rather than having to go back into the app after I clear the obstacle.
Great video. I have a 2021 and found a used CETE module as well. Did you find any issues purchasing used? The one I found was from a 2017 and I assume it's compatible with mine. Still researching.
The seller I had was great. Answered all the questions I had about the kit. All parts were there and zero issues. I thought the B9 started in 2018 so not sure about the 2017.
ok, but once the parameters are set in each MMI mode, I no longer need the phone app. Just by changing the mode in the MMI it keeps the settings. For example, if I activate dynamic mode, the suspension will take the parameters set with the phone application even if I don't have the phone with me.
Since we made lots of nice modifications of your Q5, this odbeleven will help you to set up many things in your car setup; daylight front & rear, your dash, throttle response and so much more features. And now during the year end, there are many discounts
No I don’t work for them. Since I subscribed to your channel, I want to share this information with you. Knowing that you like to tune your car I wanted to inform you about this product.
@@MA-bq8yg gotcha, was a little confused. I have messed around with the VAGCOM before but have not done the others, I will be looking soon though. Do you have an OBD11? If so what is your favorite thing to use it for?
what setting number do you have it on because I had a error code and it wouldn't let me use anything someone said to raise it up a few numbers and now it seems not to show error code no more just wanted to see what you have yours on ?
In that pic I was probably in dynamic and had it set to -50 or -55 for front and rear. I didn’t drive in this setting though and sometimes I would get an active suspension warning/error but it would go away when I restarted the car.
Hi Lance, I received my cete automotive box and I wanted to know where you download the application and if you needed the vcds to erase obd faults after installation or any problems?, Thank you.
Hey. So I think somewhere it says what app to download but the app I have is called: Active Suspension Control BLE by Alexander Savinykh. I have an iPhone if that helps. I didn't have any OBD faults after my install, no issues at all.
Hello Lance, Nice job. I have had my CETE controller in for about a year and recently I got a traction control error. I usually ride in Dynamic. Do you think the setting of -30mm is causing this issue?
Hey there! Kind of hard to say. Does that error happen every time you drive around now? My dynamic mode and even my Individual mode is much lower than -30mm so not sure I can say that is what causes that issue.
@@midtenn_life I have had it back in comfort mode no error so far. I'll keep it there until I can pin point the error. Either way thank you for your response.
I had errors at first because I had the wires crossed up. The colors are very close and if you are not intentional on the one you tap you might grab the wrong one. How did you connect them? Solder? Tap? What year is yours?
@@midtenn_life solder them, but everything works just fine just getting the errors for air suspension malfunction, Audi adaptive light, and Audi pre-sense. But again everything is work with the ASC app. Just can’t get these messages and hazard light to go away. 2018 Prestige
There wasn’t as much discussion about the OBD11 when I looked into it, it was either CETE or airmatic links, I chose the CETE because I got a good deal on it and I liked the way the interface was. It overrides the factory settings as opposed to me changing what the factory settings truly are. So when I take this off it will default back to what it was automatically. Was just easier for me.

Hi, Frank. Well, I wish that I could give you a measurement but I traded the SQ5 last year.
