    Cete Automotive Active Suspension Control for Model S (smart air suspension)

    Done! I installed an air manifold and set up my 3rd Homelink button to lower the car with a 25 second relay timer. 25 secs seems to be enough time to dump enough air to slam the rear which takes longer... since it's seemingly lighter than the front. In the future I may install a couple of...

    Cete Automotive Active Suspension Control for Model S (smart air suspension)

    Hi, Vegar. Quick update... I finally figured out the timer potion of my upcoming Dump Project. I plan to use one of my Homelink switches to trip a timed relay that will hold the valve open for X number of seconds. (I'm using the Drok 12V Timer Delay Relay which can be programmed for 0.01 to...

    Cete Automotive Active Suspension Control for Model S (smart air suspension)

    Also, Vegar. I hope you realize that what you have with your Dropbox should be a basic 433mHz remote. You can program the Homelink in your car to operate it. (I just verified that with one of my old remote systems.) But things won't work the way you want "yet", because Homelink is just a...

    Cete Automotive Active Suspension Control for Model S (smart air suspension)

    That's what I thought. I'm going to mess around with the system a bit in the next few weeks and will probably add an additional tank and compressor to help the stock one out. I'm sure the stock compressor wasn't meant for this duty cycle and I have better stuff lying around. We'll see how it...

    Cete Automotive Active Suspension Control for Model S (smart air suspension)

    I'm curious, Vegar. How long does it take your compressor to refill your air tank after a few drops? Or does it need to refill after each drop?

    Cete Automotive Active Suspension Control for Model S (smart air suspension)

    It seems like a pretty simple setup. With the cost being a third of the Cete system I figured I'd give the Cete setup a shot for the additional functionality. I'll probably end up building a "drop box" instead though since I have a couple of valve manifolds lying around. And I have a wifi...

    Thanks for the quick response. I've checked that out as an option also. Any pros/cons you'd like to share?

    Sorry to hear.

    360 surround view + HDMI kit testing

    I hear you... although, I've been able to get several parts from BearBu since I've ordered my setup a few years ago.

    360 surround view + HDMI kit testing

    From my experience most manufacturers will not install custom aftermarket accessories... especially one that "tricks" the car's camera system (safety) into showing you views from aftermarket cameras. But who knows, maybe someone has a "cool" friend at the service center.

    Case Study: Deer Strike in a MYP

    That sucks. Sorry to hear. I hit one in my Model S a couple of years ago. Wasn't going as fast fortunately but still hood, bumper and headlight replacements. But the absolutely worst part is having to hear, "It's a Tesla, are you telling me your car didn't see it, what's the point, Ha, ha...

    360 surround view + HDMI kit testing

    I've had my 360View with HDMI in my '15 S85D for over 3 years now. Needed to replace the front cam in '20 and a mirror cam last year. Try contacting DTP International directly for kits or parts. I'm not sure of the best way to contact them (the last time I was able to contact them through...

    Parking Brake Phenomenon

    My update is in post #11 (Parking Brake Phenomenon) above. No, I didn't get the brakes from Tesla or Brembo. It's just a car, and similar to the rest of my cars, I ordered used parking brakes from eBay. The caliper and pads were good on mine as well. The electronic actuators had stopped...
