Rear wing goes up at 50 mph, and retracts at 5 mph.

Can the settings be re-programmed for say, go up at 60mph and retract at 30mph?

I personally think the original configuration is inaccurate. I think it looks silly and has zero utility to slow down and be doing 10 or 15 miles per hour with the wing still up, and will only retract until you practically come to a complete stop.

Thoughts?

I thought there was a module you could buy from RUF to change the setings?

Out of sight to me.

There is but it's like $340 if I remember right and goes up at 75mph down at 35mph.

Not wanting it to go up and down all day, I manually extend it which leaves it extended until I shut the car off.

I remember seeing a circuit on here that someone had designed and built enabling custom settings.

I found a place years ago that will program it to go up and down at whatever speed you want. Search some old posts because I'm not sure I still have the info.

Here is the place previously posted. Apparently only '97 and '98 can be modified.

+1 Several of us looked into the RUF module but it is a major PITA (take out your module and ship it to Germany then wait weeks to get it back with no priority or promise date--oh yeah, send hundreds of $$s too!!). We finally just punted.

The switch works fine and keeps the up/down to a minumum. Stays up at shutdown and retracts at the next stop after restart unless you lower it or cycle the switch sooner.

Is it really worth all the trouble??

I manually raise all the time to avoid the "flapping" effect...just hit the switch when you sart out @ 25mph.

Did you look into it? Why just those years?

The RUF module does the business... I happen to have one in my stash, never got to use it and my cabrio which was intended for is sold... so I'll part with it for my cost which if I remember correctly was around $350 back in 2003.... PM'me if interested.

I emailed them a year or so. They were light on details. Apparently the unit in '95 and '96 are not programmable. A newer unit plus $200 was just not in my budget for someone I can't see or feel.

Interesting. I was just thinking about doing this and putting my wingless decklid back on but I guess not now......

My ideal would be a modification to allow the spoiler to be operated solely by the switch on the center console: Hit the up button, it goes up. Hit the down button, it goes down. No automatic raising or lowering.

What would happen if the speed sensor input was disabled? Is that even possible? Would it then operate manually, or would there be a warning light on all the time?
