(Adaptive) Cruise Control Question
Hi all,
Since my car has 0544 Cruise control with brake function which facilitates the brake and accelerator and the car also includes collision/pedestrian warning, lane departure, and blind spot detection, would it not be just a matter of coding to have the adaptive cruise control? Reading on the adaptive cruise control retrofit I found that some brake line modification needed to be done but do not understand why so if the car can already brake on its own when needed? |

ACC is the retrofit “holy grail”, it’s definitely not a walk in the park. You need ACC sensor, different DSC and ICM, and lots of small stuff, making your own cables. Even sourcing those parts can be troublesome (at least for a fair price). Oo and dont forget coding, and I wonder if you need an FSC as well.
I am going to attempt this retrofit next year, fingers crossed, don’t know if it’s going to work out. |

Thanks for your comment and good to know that an FSC is not needed. But I guess for the radar calibration you need more than just ISTA, you need the entire setup with mirrors and all? Probably requires you visit the dealer?

I read on a forum somewhere the dimensions and specs to build the right kind of reflective surface to perform the calibration in ISTA. Unfortunately I can't recall what the exact specs were but I used a glass picture frame that was the right size and then set it up a precise distance from the radar and run the calibration. It was over a year ago and I guess I don't have that link handy anymore.

I have been looking on line for parts but they are hard to come by used. Thank you in advance if you would be so kind. |

Most of the mounting and trim parts I bought new, plus the steering wheel controls and wheel speed sensors, the only parts I bought used were the DSC, ICM, and radar module. The DSC I bought from an online junk yard, the ICM and ACC I got on eBay. |
