Lowering the Audi A8 D4 & D5 air suspension when stationary

DropIT! V1 OBD module for Audi A8 D4 and D5 air suspension

Suitable for two A8 generations

  • Audi A8 and S8 D4/4H
  • Audi A8 and S8 D5/4N

The standard air suspension from the factory is required. There is a separate variant for D4 and D5 on the product page.

A8 D4: without SFD2 check

According to the current compatibility check, the Audi A8/S8 D4 is not affected by SFD2/UNECE. You can directly select the D4 variant, provided the vehicle has the original air suspension.

A8 D5: for newer vehicles, consider SFD2

D5 vehicles up to early 2023 are generally compatible without an additional check. For model year 2024 and in some cases from mid-2023, SFD2/UNECE must be excluded. PR code NI0 is considered uncritical; NI1, NI7, NI8, and NI9 must be checked before purchase.

How the low stance is achieved

  1. Connect DropIT! V1 to the OBD interface.
  2. The process starts automatically.
  3. First the front axle, then the rear axle is lowered.

The brake is not required for the process. A short tap on the brake can additionally stop the lowering of the currently active axle.

For show, shooting and garage

DropIT! V1 is not a permanent lowering module for driving. It is a compact, removable solution that uses the original A8 technology to achieve a significantly lower look when stationary.
