haha thanks for the reply. i've read about those problems but i was talking more along the lines of decreased life of the air bags, compressor.....

would it be worth it to get this instead of say a air force or UAS kit?

if i had it to do over again i think i would get an ML and the uas with the added savings of not getting a UL.

well, the air sus. isn't the main reason i want the UL, its everything else. i will also wait a while (for mods) after getting the car so i'll enjoy the factor air.

Can I somehow "fast reset" the controller and the suspension? I lift up my car to (normal mode) last weekend, when it rains 8inches snow.
Now the car is awry to passengerside and it looks really stupid.
the shock absorbers is okay.




and once again sorry my bad english

if your height is uneven due to the stupid (i mean really awesome) datasystems controller the only thing that i have found to fix it is to hit the left down button to have it flash at you to change all 4 of the height settings then put it up 1 or 2 (right side up button) then hit the left bottom button again to lock in the setting. once it has adjusted to this new height and stopped flashing, then reverse the process to set it back at your original lower height setting. once it stops this usually puts them back in sync... also make sure the car is on flat level ground..

this is why i really hate my UL w/ controller... sometimes mine gets all out of sync and it is annoying to fix...

also to reset it all together if you hold the left up button down while the car is off hold the button down and then turn the car on... this puts it back to the first screen where you have to select the celsior > mc choice (if you have an 04-06 ls430) (in japanese it looks something like this """"""" UCF31MC]" セルシオ """""""" then you can select super down mode or regular down mode...

also i used to unplug the smaller plug out of the back and leave it unplugged for a minute or two with the car running and all 4 valve corners will flash then i would plug it back in and raise it up one and then lower it down one to try to get all 4 even again.

good luck man.

thanks thawatcha for reply. i ended up just feeding the wire and harness controller wire aroudn the side of the carpet into the bezel behind the heated seat controls, after i pulled that out, and back the other way . sorry i asked sucha trivial question. thanks for your helps. this writeup was very useful and informative in not breaking any clips. i just was over cautious as i was not familiar with the ls and how the interior was designed. thanks again

Season.

i had problems figuring that out too lol. i somehow seccured one end of the wire to a coathanger and pushed it through random places till i found a way through. mine was deep in the dash behind the nav unit, but your going to have to find it for yourself lol.

i think alot of ppl put it in glovebox/in centerconsole/ side of driver seat / ashtray/ the rest u just gota be creative or custom dash bezel

i have the asr681 so my wired module is in the glovebox. my wireless is on my dash or in my centerconsole.
