Dynamic Damping Control

Ok finally got this figured out thanks to reading the manual.
I can see why it is so confusing.
The switch that controls Green/mid/sport is called Driving Dynamics Control. we all know what that does. But if purchased it also engages Dynamic Damping Control. Let me quote from the manual:
"The system offers several different programs. The programs can be selected via the Dynamics Control.
Mid/Green
Balanced control of the vehicle
Sport
Consistently sporty control of the shock absorbers for greater driving agility"


since my car was purchased with Damping, I am able to configure some things in the sport mode that I think you cannot unless you have that feature.

did you order with sport suspension? My MA says I can order DDC and Sport Sus together but the online builder won't let me select both.

You can set the Green mode to have the DDC at Sport and in the Sport mode, you can have the DDC at Soft, and so forth???

That's my question too, ie does going to Green automatically set the shocks soft, or do you adjust the shocks separately from the driving mode?
