There's more to just the settings in MES. Check the mes manual for all of the settings you need to verify.

Got it to work! I had to adjust my latency settings. Thanks for all your help.

Hello, working on installing Race mode. My selector is installed. I have all the cables and even purchased a key for the MultiScan. Now when I plug into my OBD with the correct cable and try to connect I get and error stating I'm and not using the right cable. (I 100% am using the right cable) Any idea how to fix the issue?

Look above at what @JeFizz posted in post #801. Have you checked the port settings? Do you have the SGW bypass installed?
Inexpensive ELM modules have a known issue. Have you read the instructions in the MES pdf?

Thank you very much. I was able to figure it out with some trouble shooting. Does the shift light not work for anyone?

It doesn't work for me. Did you choose type 2 or 3 ?

Shift light won't work since our redline is so low. At least that is the current theory.

I went with 2. I didn't bother to try 3, apparently it doesn't always work. Not really a difference between the two; I'd assume. TCS and all of that still turns off when I go into RACE.

I don't even know if the logic is there to support the shift lights. For a while there I was running the EC phase 2 tune with the raised rev limiter, and it didn't trigger then either... but that is still lower than the QV redline. Who knows. A shift light would be nice.

I ran Type2 for a long while, it worked well, but if you have the adaptive suspension and an out-of-date CDCM firmware, Type2 messes up the settings, badly. Type3 doesn't do that. I run 3 now, and feel it works exactly the same for me (non-adaptive suspension).

Hey everyone -

I've read through much of this thread but not the entirety of it so I guess I'll just ask the questions I have:

I have a 2018 Q4 Ti with adaptive dampers. I just really want to be able to disable traction control as I can feel it limiting me when I autocross and track. I've held off on ordering a race mode switch, since I heard with adaptive dampers it doesn't work right due to the suspension getting set to two different modes in race mode unless I pay more than I'd like for a cdcm reflash.

Someone earlier today told me that with adaptive suspension, you can install a race mode switch and set it to type 3 which will disable TC but not show any race mode graphics.

It also seems upon reading that I can still use Type 2, but I have to hit the adaptive suspension button afterwards. Does doing this set it to the same soft mode as N/A or does it set it to the "regular" stiff mode that D has available to it?

Does installing the switch and moving to either Type 2 or Type 3 cause issues in other modes? Is there any other adaptive suspension or traction control workaround? Does installing the switch to mode 2 or 3 disable paddle shifters in race? Just would love to unlock the full potential of my car. Lots of information to comb through here.

Thanks all.

I don't know how Type 2 responds to changing the adaptive settings. Type 3 does the same thing that Type 2 does... lessens traction and stability control interventions. Just like in the QV though, it does not completely disable them. Only way to completely disable the nannies, including ABS, is to use the Squadra Logger or by enabling Dyno / Rolling Road mode using MES (that's only a temporary setting btw).

 

[JeFizz]

oh, and most people have no issues with adding the race mode. It's been seen on some Euro spec stuff that paddles stop working, but US should be OK as far as I know.

Yeah, I don't necessarily want to disable ABS, though I've considered doing the dyno mode. I just want less power pull coming out of corners and some other times when I feel TC/ESC stopping me.

Hey everyone. Just installed mine and got an instant check engine light after PROXI alignment. It failed on the grey and blue connectors at first and then I reran it and all appeared to be fine except for a CEL upon engine start. I got a code for CAN communication error and cleared it. Turned it off let it sit turned it back on. Multiecuscan checked again and said no errors reported but still have the CEL.

 

[rimoczia]

That is normal, clear DTCs in the engine ECU

 

[JeFizz]

Turn steering wheel all the way from lock to lock, turn off, see how it goes.

 

[rimoczia]

For me, that did not work. The check engine stays on even after everything else is fixed with the lock to lock. I always have to connect to the engine ECU, read DTCs (always empty), clear DTCs, keycycle and than it is gone. Bear in mind, that mine is a diesel with a different engine ECU, so might be different for the petrol versions.

Yeah that didn't work. I pulled the battery and reset it and it fixed it.

Interesting. Ok, I'll have to give Type 3 a shot then. Thank you, again.
