Hey RCZ1, the spoiler pops up at 50mph and drops back down once you slow below 35 - thats according to the handbook anyway! You can't see/hear it moving with the car in motion, so i trust its working :)

it has 2 positions 50 + 90 approx
you can see it in your rear view mirror at the 2nd position (90+ mph)

The second stage is anything above 95mph and retracts to stage 1 when dipping below 90mph.

Hey welcome along you Tech-o guy's, good to see you.

Now, is the 95 based on:

1. The analogue speedo
2. The digital speedo
3. Sat Nav

I've tend to see mine at 97 - 98 mph (Analogue speedo) - when in Germay that is :eusa-whistle:

It will be based on a speed read by all four wheels using esp wheel speed sensons, (but im pretty sure it only use's the back two as the wheels are turning at different speeds when cornering) which information is sent to the esp unit and eventually relayed to the dials you see in front of you. There is no such things as ' an analogue speedo' as both the dial and the matrix screen (between the dials) both received precisely the same digital information, analogue would refer to a cable driven system, digital is highly reliable and accurate.

This information would also be used to activate the 'active rear spoiler' as it would also received the same data. by the time it rises and you look back 97-98 is probably your shown speed on the dials infront of you.

As will gps, the car does not use speed data from the gps system, but it does take certain information from it.

Hope this helps.
