They go into failsafe mode if unplugged (or if there is a system fault). At that point they act like normal non-adjustable dampers.A switch with variable voltage can be easily done, if i was to install the shocks and left them unplugged would they be left on it's last setting or would it reset to a default setting?
Id essentially use the shocks like the mk6 shocks that have set modes just on a button rather than bother with the level controls and shizz
I'm not sure what you mean by "like the mk6 shocks though," as my understanding is they also used level sensors. I don't know of a VAG adaptive damper system that is as simple is set modes/voltages. Forgive me here, but I'm struggling to see what you hope to achieve.
The dampers don't retain previous mode if voltage is lost. So let's assume we know an "at rest" voltage for each mode. Agreed that installing a variable switch is easy. But you're going to need wiring from the switch to each damper otherwise they go into failsafe.
Why do all that work for a half-arsed DCC that doesn't give you most of the DCC benefits. You could just get manually adjustable dampers that will probably perform better while being less expensive.
