    Audi Drive Select (ADS) Individual Mode without Magnetic Ride

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I've had my 2015 S3 for about a month now and was wondering which suspension setting is selected in individual mode of ADS if you don't have Mag Ride?

    I've set the following:

    engine/transmission = Auto
    steering = dynamic
    engine sound = comfort.

    I'm wondering how does ADS determine if the suspension (without mag ride) will be dynamic, comfort, or auto when using individual mode.

    Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide me!

    there is no setting for the mag ride without it. it means you will have a static suspension just like all older cars, no adjustability

    Thank you for your response. So by static suspension, it's just the standard s-sport suspension or the firm setting? Thank you again for taking the time to respond to my post.

    If you have sport or nonsport suspension, it will be the same regardless of whichever ADS setting you put as they are not adjustable. Only the mag ride can change suspension firmness electrically.

    Yeah, the suspension is definitely on the firm side, but I'll take it for everything else that makes up for it. MRC was never really a dealmaker for me.
