I've had my autopilot V2 system since october and its treated me very well, no issues, love the system, ect.

BUT, about three months ago, a strange issue occured, although it was an annoyance at best.
I have 8 presets, most are random, but the most important are presets 1,3, and 8. Those are all up, ride height, and aired out (0000) respectively.
Now, randomly, one day, when I hit preset 8 (aired out, 0000) the car aired out, but my front left bag was reading a steady 7psi, sometimes bouncing between 6 and 7.
I tried manually airing it out and again using the preset, but it still read 7psi. I checked the height with a tape measure and it was defintely at 0psi because it matched the pass. side and sat at the proper height.
Even airing out manually did not solve the issue. One other thing, the system wouldn't show a "stopped/failed" message either, it would just sit there still thinking its still in the process of airing out. If the preset was hit a second time, I would hear the valve click and the stopped/failed message would appear. Figured it was a small electronic nuisance and carried on.

This caused two issues thus far. If I raised the car to preset 1 (all up, ~89 89 50 50) the compressor would kick on (as usual) and then if I aired out before the compressor reached the top limit, it would run continually. Once, I went to my parent's house, raised it to get into the driveway, aired out in the driveway, and left the car running to go inside for something. When I came out, I raised the car and after the "succesful" message, I saw the compressor never shut off and my tank was damn near 290 psi!! It scared the **** out of me, but no real issues, I found that if you hit preset 8 again and get the "stopped/failed" message, the comp. shuts off.

Now to the latest issue. I tried calibrating the system last night in the shop (my first and only cal. was in my parents garage and it had the smallest incline) I figured that the flat ground of the shop might solve the issue with bag 1 showing 7psi when its aired out. Not the case.
Upon entering the calibration, the front axel lowered. Then the rear, and then the rear raised. (all in the proper increments of course)
When it finished, I tried hitting a preset and it gave me the "not tuned" message. Every attempted calibration skips the front axel all together, and I am guessing its the "7psi" issues' fault.

Anyone have any ideas on wtf is going on here? Manual mode works fine, but I'm not thrilled about having to use it.

Pics for clicks. Hippy filter.

I'll be running the B8 airlift front and rear with elevel management. First time running air suspension and can't wait to have everything up and running.

Here's some pics of how it sits right now. I'm on H&R coilovers with 20x10 avant garde m310's.

Parts waiting to go in. . Going to switch the wheels up as well. Wheels should be done around the time of my air install. Going to go with 20x10.5 et22. I'll update the thread once the ball gets rolling and ill try to post pics of the install process as well. ]]> Air Suspension Erwheezy http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?6046547-B8-Allroad-on-Airlift-performance-series-and-elevel-management http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?6046517-Dakota-Digital-Odyssey-Series-1-Gauge-Install-couple-questions.&goto=newpost Wed, 22 May 2013 04:33:00 GMT I am installing an air setup and using a Dakota Digital Odyssey series gauge to monitor everything.

The cable that connects the actual gauge to the control box is not long enough. It is a 3.5mm data cable.

I was wondering if I could use any longer 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male cable or if I need to use the one supplied? ]]> Air Suspension steveo27 http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?6046517-Dakota-Digital-Odyssey-Series-1-Gauge-Install-couple-questions. http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?6046108-Finally-I-can-post-in-here-again.-Been-a-while.&goto=newpost Tue, 21 May 2013 20:13:33 GMT Image: http://www.mynameispaul.com/external_links/plainWagonThe65.jpg ]]> Air Suspension Plain http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?6046108-Finally-I-can-post-in-here-again.-Been-a-while.
