Carista reported on another thread recently that they intend to research this issue over the next few months. If you are looking for immediate gratification, Carista is not an option. My hunch is we will know by April or May whether Carista can implement this vehicle setting in their App (tech aspect) and whether they are interested in doing so (market demand aspect).

Excellent, thanks for the info

I'm not in any hurry to run out and drop $1K on the DataSystems controller so I'll wait and see if Carista follows through.

It's a possibility, but we haven't researched it yet, and it's not in our immediate priorities for the next few months. So I really can't say.

Reduced $100 and he has a few left. This one works on any Windows version.

Let us know how it loads. Mine is on the way. I have been using an older version with Windows XP. Still works fine, but the computer is so slow. Hope this is as easy as the folks said that recommended it to me. I was't going to pay $150, but he marked it down to $50 shipped and that is well worth it to me to give it a try.

Will this software work with the bluetooth (Carista) dongle or do you need to use the wired USB dongle?

To those people who have gotten this working with 64bit. Is the light on your cord green even before plugging into car and connecting or is it red until it connects with car?

I've spent a couple of hours with both the Techstream connected to the car and with me online to see what it is I'm missing, and the answer appears to be nope, adjusting suspension height is, via computer settings using Techstream, not something you can do.

I'm still digging around, but the TS appears to be much more limited than I expected for a factory setup. I really wanted to be able to change "height high" to top the suspension out. I'm a bit crippled, and every fraction of an inch counts, though I do NOT want to drive a so-called "SUV". I have a '98 Grand Cherokee 5.9L, and I drive it about once every other month.

As a comparison of things you can change with the TS, I use the free-standing GM Tech II I have from a prior vehicle as a reference. It is also limited, naturally, but in different areas. It is also tech at least ten years older.

Thanks, McKellyb, for investigating this. It's a bummer you could not change the height. Did you find a "Change Height" utility that CLer "raefkrad" used on TS to change height? I hope you can still dig around and find something that helps alleviate your discomfort.

Well, I found where you can adjust height, but I'm not convinced it 'sticks'.

Though, without moving, but with cycling the suspension back up, setting it where I want it, each wheel well's lip 28" off the ground, it's a solid inch lower than it was at 28.5", 29.5" previously (about), all-around. We have a trip, tomorrow, so I'm leaving it be for the time being. I just can't find a place to "save" what you change. There must be...somewhere.

Oh, and yes, that's the world's largest laptop...I know, I know.... Battery-powered portable desktop is more like it, but mechanical keyboard, FTW!!!!

Untouched OEM height.
Lowered 100% per the TS.
Where she sits, now.

I couldn't get the lighting right with the garage door closed or open, so it's not easy to compare with the first image, but at least I know there's a little bit of a change.
