Default Any one witha datasystems controller ever experience this...

i have had my datasystems controller installed for about 3 months now and about 5k miles (i drive a lot, i know) on a 05 that has 38k miles now, and i have not noticed this ever happen until today.

so i usually don't pay to much attention to my controller but when i got in and started it this afternoon i noticed that it had to go up a little to go back to my setting that i had turned it off at. i normally notice that whatever level its at when the car is shut off is what it comes back on at without having to adjust the height at all. the car was only parked for about 9 hours on a fairly flat surface so i'm wondering if it somehow sagged a little while it was sitting. i started to watch it a lot on the drive home and noticed that it adjusted the height 2 times while driving home (30 miles mostly highway), but my speed was varying a little so i don't know if it (controller, not stock, but controller) will raise or lower depending on speed or not.

has anyone else noticed their controller having to adjust the height when you first turn on the car if it only sat for like 9 hours?? thanks,

hmmm, cool thanks for the confidence.. also if you cycle through the little menu system after the speed there is another height screen with some japanese text after the word height that i'm not sure what it says (have to ask wifey next time i think about it) but this screen shows the height of each wheel in a little line graph type thing and mine was straight jacked up, all 4 were at different levels, so i don't know if it is correcting for the crooked *** stance when it shows all the different levels or if this is just telling me look at your crooked *** stance??? is this normal also??

Yup, as airtime mentions, much of of you experience and ask has been covered in many different other threads. Note that this is not specific to the fact that you have a data system controller. The UL does this normally. Several posts by BNR34 discusses this and he doesn't have a controller (one reason why he has decided to switch to fixed (non-air) suspension).
