Driver Assist Package II - Discussion and Questions

I believe so. They haven't hidden it behind the grill emblem.

And they definitely haven't gone the way of stereo cameras

Does the MY16 model still have the radar box sitting in the front grille? Hard to find pics to compare with and without.

Yes.
Same as the MY 15 vehicles.

Follow on with that,
this is what the current style looks like - http://s1.cdn.autoevolution.com/imag...rs-5392_26.jpg
not the older style which had the square around the dome- http://www.vwvortex.com/wp-content/u...-7-front-3.jpg

Thanks for the pics. Current version looks a lot better for sure.

Have to wait a month extra for my new Golf with the DAP rather than without so just making sure i'm making the right decision!

You made the right choice! Trust me driving a car without ACC on the highway is a pain now...

I would definitely wait for DAP again, ACC makes long distance driving so much easier.
Occupant Protection hopefully won't be used but could be good too.

Hey Guys, new here just got a new 2015 Golf R with the Driver Assistance Package.

It has Adaptive Cruise which is awesome, but I drove some other cars which have Lane Assist (Lane Departure Warning) and I really like it.

It seems like the overseas models have it

Im not sure if our mirrors have the camera. if they do, it seems like it can be enabled here

Does anyone know if this is possible, or if not, could we replace our mirror with one of the overseas ones and then enable it?

I'd love to have this function on my car.

Thanks for your help!

It's probably possible but it could well be more than the mirrors that need replacing. It could need a different internal controller and different wiring requirements (power and signal). It could be very expensive and time consuming to plumb it all in.

33ASY: Hello and welcome to the forum (and congrats on the new car - great choice!).

Like you, when I first read about the Lane departure warning system, I thought what a great idea! The Golf R tends to be a very well equipped model and I'm really not sure how much additional "smarts" it has to support Lane Departure warning. But here is an overall picture of the required bits to have the facility operating (alas as Mattlock has indicated, retrofitting lane departure warning is more than just fitting the front camera behind the rear view mirror)
Cheers
