    Air ride suspention light

    I am installing coils in the rear of my X5. Is there a way to shut off the Air ride suspension lights on the dash. I only have rear air bags and someone before rigged up a switch to work the compressor, I am not sure what was wrong with it before, and for the money, The coils are a more cost effective way to go.
    Thanks in advance

    Can you use bmw scanners?

    Carly App, ISTA or INPA should be able to clear it.

    If you’re tech savvy enough, it takes only a cable (Kdcan cable on Amazon or eBay) to setup INPA. Install INPA on your PC laptop , and you have a powerful tool in your toolbox!
    INPA is (reportedly) the BMW factory diagnostics tool. It reads and erases fault codes, and resets various adaptations.

    Other option is Carly for BMW.
    Google them for more information.

    You're going to have to have software capable of coding it out of the vehicle, so the control units in charge will ignore the air ride system and not turn on the warning lamp.
