Briefly explained: What does DropIT! V1 do?

DropIT! V1 connects to the OBD interface and automatically starts the lowering process. First, the front axle is lowered, then the rear axle. You don't have to do anything during this process. A short tap on the brake can also stop the lowering of the currently active axle.

No coding is necessary, the original vehicle software is not permanently changed, and the module can be removed without leaving any traces. It is intended for use while stationary.
