Anyone around warrington area

Be good if the laser could actually cut middle lane drivers in half

 

[andys]

@andys I had a courtesy T6 a while back and it allowed distance setting whilst moving, I'm guessing this is a different HW/SW, I think I took a scan of it so I'll double check to see what it had.

Interesting, mine definitely only allows speed adjustment while driving

 

[Pauly]

@Pauly from what I read tho, the 'emergency city breaking' is a laser sensor and the ACC is a radar, so completely different HW, maybe it wouldn't be too difficult to upgrade if the wires are there (CAN & Power)

As far as I know ACC and braking use the same sensor so I assume (maybe wrongly) that it's the same sensor, if you scan @PukkaT6 van you can compare the HW number with your ACC module or if someone with an MY18 can send me their reg I will pull it up on etka and double check

 

[PukkaT6]

Use mine RF17 HBX

 

[Pauly]

Thanks

 

[Adams]

Think a scan will be best, etka won't give all the info on the ACC module

 

[Pauly]

Just going to confirm part numbers are the same but the proof will definitely be in the scan pudding

 

[PukkaT6]

Will message you tomorrow @Adams

Not sure on that, i have city braking and acc 130 on a single unit, we should compare part numbers from my scan.

 

[Adams]

@Loz yes with the ACC radar would be capable of doing both

Just ran @PukkaT6 van through etka to look at front sensor it came back as
7E0 907 561 C - control unit for distance regulation and radar sensor
Fitted to vehicles from >17/10/16

 

[PukkaT6]

Sounds good. Erm what does that mean?! Hahhaha

 

[Pauly]

It means your front radar looks different from one in a vehicle factory fitted with ACC but more info required yet

 

[KEDSKI]

Does anyone know what useful un-lockable features are hidden in velle (in my t5 i had this rain sensor thingy but is it in my current one?) ? is it worth getting calista or go to friendly garage to ask- -exactly what questions i should ask if any? how do i find out what i can unlock?sorry for noob question it is fascinating !

 

[Pauly]

It means your front radar looks different from one in a vehicle factory fitted with ACC but more info required yet

I'm going to take that back, just looked at this a bit more and the radar sensor on this MY18 matches the radar unit fitted in vehicles with ACC from the factory (compared it to @Loz van) so this certainly merits more digging as it may be possible to activate ACC
@PukkaT6 and @Loz can you post pics of your steering wheels so we can compare cruise buttons please

 

[PukkaT6]

Just arrived at Adams now.

Pic as requested

 

[Pauly]

Can I get a full copy of the base scan please @Adams

 

[PukkaT6]

He is just filling his face

 

[Adams]

@Pauly yes I'll drop it you over on a message,
A lot of modules wouldn't allow coding because VCDS has no info on them (it's probably too new)

I think to upgrade to ACC so it can be adjusted whilst driving @PukkaT6 you will need to install a steering wheel with cruise distance set button like this one

Steering wheel cruise buttons
