Default CETE Suspension controller

I bought the CETE Suspension controller but id didn’t come with instructions and can’t find any online. Does anyone have experience installing this that can help me locate the suspension sensors

Did you buy it from europrice? They can email you instructions. Otherwise PM your email and I will send them to you. I installed it on mine. FYI for the canbus wiring the instructions say to take of panels and use wiring by the tailight. At least in my Q8 there is no canbus wiring back there. It's behind the rear seat and is much much easier to get to and get the wiring inside as there is a port right there.

I actually just got a response from CETE. They sent me the instructions in German. I’ll need to google translate. Did you need to use a lift for your install?

The variant 2 canbus wires are what you want to use. I didn't use a lift. I just put the vehicle in allroad then I used two jacks to lift the front only. It lifted the vehicle high enough for me to get under it and do everything. I wouldn't focus too much on the install pictures. Once you get underneath there you'll figure out the best way to mount the wires yourself. I'd make sure you have extra zip ties before you start. I ended up using more than what they provided.

Here you will find the whole description and at the bottom of the page Q7 2 instructions:
Q8: https://www.active-sound.eu/de/audi/...-app-steuerung
Q7: https://www.active-sound.eu/de/audi/...-app-steuerung
It is all in German but Google translator will help. Q7 and Q8 installation should be the same.

If you purchase through an authorized North American distributor you get instructions and support in English. Happy to let folks know who those authorized distributors are as there aren't many.

Cheers,

Hey, NolaQ8, where did you source your rooftop carrier? We're planning a long road trip and yours looks like the business.

Thanks,

Rob
