Default Adaptive Air System after the fact...

So I made the mistake of not getting the air suspension. Should have read into it more and not its too late as we are getting it next week!

Is it possible to get this dealer installed? If so, would the cost be ridiculious?

do you need to the vehicle right away? I suspect they would be happy to order you another and either sell yours directly or let another dealer procure it from them. We love the air suspension in a Touareg & it is makes towing our trailer a breeze, so when we ordered our Q, we waited for 2010 so we could get it.

Order another one... adaptive air is far better. It corrects for load, so the car is alway level no matter how you load it down and haul.

Folks,
For those who know about the air suspension- can you VAG-COM it to set at a lower level? i.e. lower the beast an inch or two for a new baseline level? I am aware there are expensive modules you can buy that will do this, but can you code it yourself?
Thanx,
Dubliner

I thought that was going to be the answer...oh well...i will get it in the next car. I am going from a S5 to this one so I probably will not notice if its a harder ride.
