Request for information:

Can any one tell me how I can tell if the self-leveling function on my 530 xiT Sport Wagon is active ? The dealer reprogrammed the vehicle during installation of a cd changer and now I do not hear the compressor activate when I exit the car and activate the alarm.

Many thanks for any assistance.

If it runs normal and it's normal in height, it works...

Likewise, our car was reprogrammed with 22.02 and now I no longer hear the compressor operate after locking the car. I assume from your and our experiences that the new software version has altered the timing and manner of the self-leveling compressor operation. It always seemed a bit odd that it would raise the car after it was stopped. I need to get some people in the back to make sure I hear it cut on. Perhaps some people complained about the noise as they walked away and thought it was a malfunction?

My car is only a few weeks old and I have never heard any compressor noise after locking. Probably the behaviour has been changed in recent updates (I assume my car has latest software).

Will listen with great care this evening. My car is certainly not running the latest update (probably something around CIP 16.x - mfg date 03/05), but I never noticed any noise once the air vents shut down (5 secs or so) and certainly no suspension setting change.
