Default question for those with stock air and dataSystems controller


back like 4 years ago i had an LS430UL with the controller and don't recall this happening,, ever, but please someone chime in if i'm forgetting.

so 2 weeks ago i bought an 08 crown majesta and put the dataSystems controller on it. when i go to L mode it drops down to what you see in the pic (got ss kit and other shiz on the way to make it lower and more flush ) however if i select 9 like i wanna go drive off, it raises the car all the way to max then settles it back down to 9, thus taking a long time.

if i recall correctly the LS430 would just raise up an inch or 2 from L to 9 without going all the way to the top then settling back down.

so i asked the shop out here in japan who is working on it and they said it is the auto leveling feature in the majesta doing it. the car was parked on a hill and seemed to level it self out so it was a little higher on the downward slope side. i'm hoping that if it is on a flat surface that this won't happen but haven't actually taken the car home yet to test out, as i'm waiting on the body kit and other parts to arrive to the shop and to get installed.

i wonder if the new(er) 460's do this at all?? anyone know? thanks,

I can't help you with the controller but lovely Majesta. Please share some more pics of the car and the interior if you have a chance.

I have the 430 UL with the air controller and the thing really has a mind of its own. Sometimes I'm driving then the front left or right decides to raise itself all the way up and stay there. Feels very awkward to drive like that. It stays raised until I have a chance to mess with the controller then eventually it settles down again.

If you want to know about experience of the newer 460 owners you'll have to post in the 460 thread. But yeah the stock air and data system combination definitely has a mind of its own sometimes. Feels like it likes to be rebellious!

i don't have any pics of the interior yet, but when i do i will most certainly share them.

the interior was a little messy upon delivery of the car from the auction. i have to give it at least 1 if not 2 good deep cleanings before i will even put in my brand new D.A.D. floor mats and D.A.D head rests. then once i approve i will take some pics and share.

feels like i have a lot of work to do to get it where i want it. hopefully the Black Pearl body kit will be in this week and a few days for painting and install before i even take it home.
