Default Air lift Auto Pilot v2 and valve VS. V1

Whats your take on the Autopilot V2? Anyone use it yet. What about the new mini manifold. I have read that height sensors are more accurate, but I just want to hear who has used this vs the Autopilot V1. Why I ask is because I just put up my air runner manifold, remote control , and my Autopilot V1 for sale in the General forsale section and wondering if I made the right descision. I've heard good and bad about the V1 (which sort of spooked me) but nothing yet on the V2. I am wondering also about the new manifold. It look extremely put together and similar to the accuair mani. I'm new at this air stuff so please bare with me.

Thanks

Don't know about this too new to make a choice on it need to do some more looking arounf to see what this product is all about. Accuair still make the best air management in the business. When you are the best people start to make clones of what they think they can make money off.

Spend 2nd best dollar get second best if not 3rd best unit. I read a lot about v2 before buying Elevel. From what I understand v2 works.unfortenatly it's just another pressure based system. If you go from full up to ride height the v2 is off by a decent amound you must drive like that let the suspension settle and continue hitting the 2! Buttons of the Ride height preset some reported that you must hit this combination of buttons more then 3 times In a span of 5 minutes while driving to go back to your actual ride height you had selected. Don't know about you but I wanted to switch to digital manegment for enjoyment of not have constantly adjust switches to get to desired ride height. Elevel gets rid of that problem v2 does not.

Yeh so I hear, every one reps accuair hard, which I'm leaning towards. I'm just waiting on the VU-4 manifold, it is on back order.

V2 vs Accuair + rideheight arms are 2 whole different animals.

obviously one has ride height sensors (IF you purchase them and install them).

if you do not purchase the arms than they are virtually the same thing... just one has built in PSI gauges and comes with pressure senders and the other one does not.

V2
-Small all in one package
-includes pressure sensors built in
-one wire out for the control
-digital gauge for easy reading

accuair
-ride height senor compatible (notice i said compatible.. its an option)
-no pressure readings unless you buy one
-super sleek looking manifold
-must buy brain


just laying down the truth. I dont have any.. got a V1 which i regret buying after seeing the V2

Accuair Elevel 1100 + 450 for vu4 manifold . 1550 or a g for v2 . Go over speed bump with Elevel on 3rd setting then hit 2nd setting and youre money , do same with v2 you will be hitting 2nd setting combination of buttons at least 3 times to get back to your desired ride height . If that's worth 600 bucks you will save go ahead knock yourself out. Accuair looks way better overall too. Oh btw oem air suspensions do not come with pressure gauges because they are not needed with height sensors today's technology vs yesterday's
