Well, the same camera is used for 5AD Lane Departure Warning (LDW), 8TH Speed Limit Info (SLI) and 5AC Automatic High Beams (AHB). So as a starting point, if you have one of those three options, you may be able to get the other 2 relatively easy, but depending on what you are starting with and what you want to add, you still may need some additional hardware or FSC Codes.

For example, if you have LDW and you want to add SLI, I think you will have to buy an expensive FSC Code and have it Imported and Activated in your CIC before you can code 8TH. Conversely, if you have SLI and want to add LDW, I think you can just code 5AD; however, you will need to add or replace the dash driver assistance panel, and either replace the steering wheel with one with the vibration actuator in it, or add the vibration actuator to your existing steering wheel if possible, unless of course you have 5AG Lane Change Warning (LCW), aka Active Blind Spot Detection, as the vibration actuator would already be present.

So, there are a lot of variables involved, and the devil is in the details. You just have to figure out exactly what you have to start with, what you want to add, and then determine what you need to fill the gap (Coding, Parts, FSC Codes, etc.). In most cases though, it will likely involve more than just coding.
