Just noticed that Squadra Tuning in The Netherlands can now access race mode on non-QV cars, see

Am I crazy or is there a difference in the micro switches? Are the activation pins on the outside for some and the inside for other?

Aren't there at least 4 different RDNA switches? Are they interchangeable?

1) RDNA with suspension button. Only R is spring loaded.
2) RDNA without suspension button Only R is spring loaded.
3) Mono stable RDNA with suspension button. Europe only?
4) Mono stable RDNA without suspension button. Europe only?

Maybe QV only comes with active suspension so the suspension button is always there? If that is the case will the suspension button cause problems for 2.0T cars that do not have the active suspension?

I expect that cars that have the mono stable switch have different programming of the module that reads the switch and as such are likely not compatible with the older switch style.

Understood, but not the point. Install the wrong switch and there may be malfunctions of the suspension system. I see that Giulia QV appears to have active suspension standard and the RDNA switch only comes on the QV, so your statement is correct. However, if someone installs such a switch in a car that lacks the active suspension what happens if the suspension button is pushed by accident or intention?

Hy Alfisti!

I have a Giulia Veloce Q4 2.0 280PS produced on March 2018. I bought the DNA-Race stud, cost 100€ in Austria, partnumber is: 156 129 321.
I changed the Byte 88 from AC to CC, proxy alignment, recalibrated the ABS Module and now i have the RACE Mode. The transmission in racemode is even faster, the throttle also. ESC is OFF and i am able to do donuts ;)
Only the shift indicator does not work. i think it is because the 2.0 does not rev as high as the Quadrifoglio.

@kozak Your switch has adaptive suspension buttons on top? And im going through the pictures looking for needed resistors lol
 
#114 ·
Well first ill just try to install 3rd switch and see if it works, if not ill be adding resistors one by one around the switch

neither me nor kozak changed anything but byte 88, we had AC changed to CC.

seems to me that i read in other threafd that in byte 157 there is android auto/carplay related stuff

Anyone done this on their 2.0T with adaptive suspension? Do you need to change any additional bytes for the adaptive suspension? And in Race mode, will we now get to have 3 settings just like the QV (soft, medium, hard). The stock 2.0T suspension can only do soft and hard in D mode.

While I was messing with the car today, oil change, flip byte 88, proxi alignment general fu$&ery, I checked my DNA selector. It's of the two micro switch flavor, fyi, fwiw.
