Adaption setting to change the MPH of the rear spoiler raising
In my 2012 Audi A7, there was an adaption setting to change the MPH when the rear spoiler deployed. Has anyone hacked the adaption codes to find that setting?
|
Nope. No one has figured this out yet.
|
I wish someone could! People have put a switch in to manually raise/lower it and have disconnected it all together.
|
Working on it!
I hopped on Topix today and downloaded a bunch of manuals. Was looking for adaption settings but to no avail. next I will sign up for a day of SDD/ diagnostics. I've also reached out to a level 4 Jaguar tech to see what he was taught. I would like to start a thread on how we can truly customize the settings on the F-Type! Stay tuned...now, back to working on my e-type...May is just around the corner!

I won't get my hopes up based on the threads I've read around here but this would be really cool if you figured it out. I would set mine's around 40 ish :D

The spoiler on the F-Type (coupe or vert) isn’t particularly attractive. It serves a functional purpose only. I wouldn’t try to second guess the design engineers’ calculation regarding the speeds at which the spoiler deploys and retracts. |
Lol haha yes u are right it does not look particularly attractive as far as spoilers go. I just think movable car body parts are always cool when u can move them "on demand" lol

My 2014 has a button to raise and lower. I leave it raised all the time. Just looks better to me. I don’t really care how it looks to everyone else. :D |
Apparently, the coupes have less control over the spoiler. In the 'vert, we can raise/lower it up to the point where the car wants to control it (up at 60MPH, down at 40MPH, different than the coupe.)

If only I knew an average 13 year old, I'd have him or her hack the appropriate module and change the constants from 70 and 50 to 35 and 25. Alas my skills are outdated and I no longer possess the technical prowess to do such code changes. The last code I patched was for a COBOL compiler.

Don’t feel bad. What you can program with less than a couple megabytes .... |
I'm wondering if the spoiler is controlled by the main ECU, or if there is another computer for the spoiler motor or something? The EU models have full control of the spoiler regardless of speed, maybe we just need to find the right piece that allows us the control over the spoiler to replace?

Coz my car is effectively a UK model and it has zero control other than when the car is stopped. |
Here’s an F-type network diagram. I would think multiple modules are almost certainly involved. Good luck! https://www.dropbox.com/s/e6fp29b26h...works.pdf?dl=0 |

We still got all of our applications done, although now it's hard to fathom how. I can still remember attending symposiums where Cdr. Grace Hopper was the guest speaker. She is who I learned where the term "bug" came from in the computing environment. |
Since inquiring minds want to know, I extracted the technical info on the spoiler from OzXFR's shop manual. Lots of very interesting info here...
