    Hi All - can't find anything about this on Google so assume it's not a thing...but is there any way to add a module to do what the Scuderia does...override the mannetino to have race mode for gearbox/throttle etc but switch the suspension back to soft?

    Thanks,
    J.

    Interesting question. The Scud centre console suspension button is only hardwired to the Instrument Panel. It must be up to the instrument panel to send the signals to whatever ECU requires that data. There is a wire between the instrument panel and the Suspension ECU, but there is also a databus coming from the instrument panel. I don't know if this wire or the CAN Bus triggers the suspension change.

    EDIT: Just found this: https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/posts/146433157/

    Maybe Trev has looked further into this?

    Thanks Qavion...hmmm interesting thread...didn't understand any of it!! ;) Might reach out to Trev...but I suspect this might be filed under the 'If it was easy, someone like Scudding Swiss would have done it'!!

    Yes its possible and not actually very complicated to install. Let me dig out the wiring when I get some time, or Jezzaaa, pm me to remind me if I forget!
