Default speed signal input

There must be a way to interupt the speed sensor signal that goes to the uspension control module.. I want my car to stay permanently at level 3... But as soon asi hit 80k it lowers to 2 and then 1 on highway... there must be a way to stop it from lowering or interupt that signal with a resistor or ? to make it thinkits always travelling below 80km/ph

someone out there must have done this already.....

What year is your car?

My 01' I can 'lock in' the level by holding the up button down for 4 or so seconds. The orange lite will stay on when locked. I can do this in levels 1-3 but have never tried it actually to lock in on 4 (what would be the point?).

I intend to do it one way.... there is a dedicated speed wire going to level module so you cab snip it.... however. Audi documents state that in the absence of signal on the wire, the level module can also obtain this info over K-line so it might be futile effort anyway.

TBH I just can't wait for one quatroworld.com member to finish level sensor brackets prdouction that will amplify amount of clearance each level gives from L2 by 1.5x both lower and higher ways.

My question is why do you want it to stay at Level 3 at highway speeds?

I notice that the handling decreases considerably at L3 just before it lowers. The car rolls a lot more in turns due to the higher CG. Audi likely set the automatic lowering for safety reasons.

...you mean the fact that these morons are willing to risk safety to avoid fixing airsprings that leak at any level below 3? Yeah, seems to be pretty popular lately.
