Hi there from Holland,
I like the rear-wing always stay out--> up position.
The fuse is connected with other devices, so fuse fuse removal is no option.
I think removal rear wing relais is the right solution.
I don't know where I can find this relais.
Does anyone know where this relais is located and which relais nr. ?

Many thanks !
Best regards,
Roger

There is a button on the center counsel that allows me to put the wing in the up position and it stays there until I turn it off.

If you turn the ignition off and later drive again the wing is back in the down position.
I'm looking for a permanent UP position solution, I think only possible when the relay is pulled out ?
I hope someone knows where it is located.
Thanks !

You can also program it in on your personal settings and in the "Individual" drive mode (steering wheel selector). It will stay permanently out after you save the set up.

Not sure if it's a bug or intended, but in mine (2018), if you set wing up in "Individual" mode, then turn car off, wing remains stays up. But then turn car back on and drive, wing goes back down automatically, despite turning on "Individual mode" once car is back on for a second time. You have to manually push wing up button again.

I don't think I'd want the wing to remain up when parked or always deployed when driving, but that's my personal preference. The only way you will be able to accomplish having it deployed every time you start up while not having to push the button to do so, is by installing the T-Design Memory Module. It will remember the parameters set on the center console buttons and will activate them each time you start the car. There will be no need to press the console buttons.

There's a device that will remember your settings when you restart your car. It will remember sport, stop start, wing, etc. I can't remember the name off the top of my head.

In the reply above yours lol It really works in retaining the settings. At startup it will recall them from the prior driving session.

The only thing missing with the T-Design MM is that it doesn't remember driving modes. (yet)
I would buy one instantly if I could get the car to stay in sport mode.

I tried the Individual selecter button and settings. It's not working.
The only way I think to get it working is pull out the wing relay ?
Does anybody know where it's located ?
THanks !

@Rovawi & others:

The wing retracts automatically in certain situations as a liability issue -- mainly to prevent damage. One may not ever plan on, say, run their 718 through an automatic car wash ... but those non-override-able times when the wing retracts are meant as a safeguard.

Ever try to close the hatch with the wing deployed? It's almost impossible without slamming it down and making sure you let go of it early. If you forget ... well, you could damage your hand AND the spoiler. And when you open the rear hatch, you are forced to grab it on the side when the wing is deployed -- not ideal.

Also: I would not try to load anything into the hatch area with the wing deployed. You're asking for trouble.

OP: I would not override. It's set up that way for some very, very good reasons.
