What's your favorite Mando setting! Post it!

[turboAWD]

AH - I see. Mando is actually CoManDo

Just finished installing it. Will try Wayne's settings ASAP.

 

[turboAWD]

Ok - What am I missing? I can bring up the app, select Stinger, apply Comfort or Sport. THAT'S IT. How does one get the custom option? I've tried swiping up, down, left, right, pinching, zooming, 2-finger swipe, quintuple click, etc.

And does everyone else need to "enable module" every time you bring up the app? Or did I mess something up and connect it to a flaky fuse box tap? Should the green LED be solid or flashing?

Using a Samsung Galaxy S7, pretty much latest updates. Just downloaded v1.03 of the app from the playstore.

Edit: Ok, had something to do with screen size setting / font setting. Switched those around, and can now scroll to the custom settings..

Interesting bug!

Yes, each time I start the car, I connect to the box so I can make adjustments or change the current setting if I need to. I’ll have to spend some time finding a Comfort setting to go along with that “Sport Sedan” setting. The 2017 Optima Hybrid rode so well and was comfortable, it would be nice to have something similar on the Stinger. More to come, stay tuned.

Update:
This morning it was a bit cooler, starting tire pressure was 36/34 (F/R), using or new "Sport Sedan" setting, I found the car drove much smoother and closer to how the Hybrid felt yesterday. Not as "polished", but quite comfortable. The bad sections of the road made the rear feel tighter and I feel that could use some adjustment. I made some changes which I will try later on the drive home. I am posting them now, in case someone wants to adjust and respond before the day is out.

Ride
Speed Front/Rear
25KM - 25 - 30
50KM - 27 - 32
75KM - 29 - 34
100KM - 29 - 34
125KM - 31 - 36
150KM - 35 - 38
175KM - 36 - 40
200KM - 40 - 45

Handling
Speed Front/Rear
25KM - 35 - 33
70KM - 36 - 33
100KM - 36 - 33
135KM - 44 - 40
160KM - 52 - 45

Keep in mind I am basing the changes on how the lower tire pressure affected the ride feel. I figure if I adjusted for stock setting of 38/36 (F/R) I could get it a tad smoother. The car really felt good this morning on the smooth roads, it was quite nimble and responsive, the car just moved as you steered. I'll report more later on these new settings.

I clicked the settings icon and connect tot he unit each time. You have to select the unit it will go back to the settings selection screen and then you can swap to get to custom settings.

I need to look on my phone, but you are trying to come up with a bit more "comfort" setting here correct?

 

[itguy61]

BTW, just a comment, but you guys who don't have the sway bars are missing out. I am loving the combination of the two.

I did not try the module without the sways but I must say that the car is very stable with this combo.(and the proper settings)

I know the sway bar fixes the issue on the 2018, I find my 2019 didn't have the same issue as on the 2018 I had. I gave my sway to my buddy who has a 2018 and he is loving it on his car. Now, with the Mando unit, I am thinking KIA might have made some adjustment to the shock setting to manage that issue better. Before the unit was installed, we could tell a difference in how his 2018 rode and my 2019. The newer car was more buttoned down compared to the 2018. I looked up the sway bar part number for both years and they are the same, this led me to conclude that it was a setting change on the suspension. Having the Mando unit and seeing how much of a difference it makes, I think those who have a 2018 without the sway bar upgrade, will benefit from making adjustments to their suspension with the Mando unit.

 

[turboAWD]

Thanks for everyone responding. I will be able to test it out today to see if I can feel the change with the new settings (I set up Wayne's settings from yesterday). Not sure if I'll notice much on a short drive today, we'll see.

 

[itguy61]

Oh clarification, I mean with aftermarket Eibach sway bars. The sways have a significant effect on lean/roll amount during cornering. This is in addition to tightening down the rear end on my 2018. Makes the car feel much more responsive to steering input. Add in the Mando and more controlled shock settings and it feels damn good.

I need to compare the Wayne 1 setting to the Wayne 2 settings on paper. I setup the number 2 settings on the way in to work and they ride a bit better but I really like the first one a lot.

 

[itguy61]

Here are the his first settings compared to the second settings. I felt a noticeable difference in the two. It appears that handling settings make a difference, even when minor. I am trying to get my head wrapped around what the ride/handling settings do as far as feeling and the what the combo in do from a front rear settings perspective.

First setting:


Ride
Speed Front/Rear
25KM - 25 - 30
50KM - 27 - 32
75KM - 28 - 34
100KM - 30 - 36
125KM - 34 - 38
150KM - 40 - 40
175KM - 45 - 45
200KM - 50 - 45

Handling
Speed Front/Rear
25KM - 38 - 35
70KM - 38 - 35
100KM - 38 - 35
135KM - 46 - 40
160KM - 60 - 60


Second setting:


Ride
Speed Front/Rear
25KM - 25 - 30
50KM - 27 - 32
75KM - 29 - 34
100KM - 29 - 34
125KM - 31 - 36
150KM - 35 - 38
175KM - 36 - 40
200KM - 40 - 45

Handling
Speed Front/Rear
25KM - 35 - 33
70KM - 36 - 33
100KM - 36 - 33
135KM - 44 - 40
160KM - 52 – 45

Drove kid to school today with "Wayne 1" and definitely liked it. Wasn't too long of a drive, so don't have detailed notes. May try Wayne 2 for next week.

Yeah, it was an Eibach sway bar I ordered after wrecking the first car, in anticipation that the 2019 would have the same issue. My buddy is a lot more aggressive in his driving style, his hybrid when started would always run the engine to build up the battery to 3/4. Mine could be at 1/4 before the engine comes on. I have lowering springs on my 2017, he put coilovers on his 2012. I'll share my experience later once I get home after my commute.

It feels good with the car on comfort mode also, just slightly softer.

I sure wish we could see what the preset settings look like.

It helps with that issue but the main thing it does is make the car corner flatter, feels very great!

 

[Waynerm002]

On the drive home I had some traffic and had to detour on some single lane slower roads. I pulled over and messed with the setting a bit. I found a lower setting on the Ride setting gives a real smooth ride, 28 up front and 32 in the rear under 60 is what I got to try. I have it set to 30/34 from 100KPH (around 62MPH), Handling at 40 front and 35 rear although I feel that could use some refinement. It was good with the Car's Comfort mode. Today's drive was a bust, seems like a lot of places had Halloween events going on and there were just too many vehicles holding up the roads. Will have to play with it another time.

@Waynerm002 @itguy61 and all. Many thanks for all the info on the Mando! Have mine, but have yet to install. Reading this thread is like reading War & Peace ... which is a GOOD thing! Keep this thread going as I'm waiting on some fuse taps to install. Big shout to @xot1 for the discovery! Peace always!

 

[turboAWD]

I agree - flatter cornering is what I like about Wayne's settings (with the little bit I got to try), and that's what I was after. My wife's base '16 GTI rides way better in the corners on non-bumpy roads..

Wayne deserves a prize. Really helping a lot the community.
