Techart / Cargraphic lowering module question

Can you still raise the ride height if you have one?
I go to the snow often, but it's a 5hr drive to get up there. I'd like to have my car low / sporty / cool looking for down south, but then be able to lift it up a bit when I get to the snow. Can you do that still with the lowering module?

Oh, cool.
So can you just "turn it off" (I'm guessing by pushing the button) and have the ride height go back to normal, or is it more intricate than that?

wonderful function, but that button is ugly and doesn't match the gear.

Any ideas about the ride quality for the Cargraphic lowered ride height module ? Is it too harsh due to the limited suspension travel ?

What are the differences between the two units for a Cayenne S ?
Is the Cargraphic setting lower than the Techart ?

I have the caragraphic lowering module and love it. You never need to turn it off. The truck will still have 5 different ride heights. Even on the lowest setting the drive is completely smooth as BUTTER!!!!!!!!!!

If u want pics? I will show you how low you can go and drive it.
