you should be able to it, It's just a matter of software.

how much air to release, how much air to pump back in.

data systems won't like it though. you will put them out of business.

About the air suspension: we've heard that it's possible, but haven't researched it yet. We do have it in our list of tasks to research this.

Sorry, Carista, I stand corrected. I should not have doubted the folks writing the App

Partial: Steering wheel moves, seat moves back a bit.
Off: Only steering wheel moves.
My setting is OFF.

it is only a carista or dealer mod.

Nav screen shots in my car. The option is indeed called "Easy Exit" .

thanks for the printscreens. The 2007 definitely does not have that user interface layout.

This functionality would indeed be wonderful to have on Carista. I was dreaming about how one could have ride height control for the price of an App versus over $1000 for the Datasystems module

Of course, the hardware approach of Datasystems has the obvious benefit that one can control height on the fly when the car is moving (folks, correct me if I am wrong). On the other hand, a potential software solution through an App like Carista would require the car to be stopped with the OBD adaptor plugged in. I think that would be a small price to pay for a huge benefit.

Good luck to you, Carista!!

I just turned off the seat movement on my 2012 LS using the Easy Exit function. I'm glad this topic came up as I hate having to move the seat that much, just one more motor to eventually get burned out and have to replace. My screen gave me the option to turn off my DRL, but as it is nite time, they automatically came on when the headlights were turned on. I'm wondering if there is a darkness sensor/setting that connects the DRLs to the headlights? I will start car tomorrow morning and see if the DRLs stay off. I always drive with my headlights on during the day for safety, however, I hate the yellow glow of the DRLs. I plan on changing them to the 9006 LEDs.
