Adaptive Cruise Control / Lane Assist

[Gladbach]

Thanks Delewin. I'm really looking forward to using ACC. I commute from Dee Why to North Ryde every morning and the traffic along Warringah Rd is bumper to bumper. I have tendonitis in my right leg from playing a lot of football, so constantly switching from accelerator to brake is really annoying. ACC is a major reason why I decided on the Tiguan. It took a bit of research and input to determine exactly how it works, but it really seems like an undervalued feature that takes the vehicle into semi-autonomous driving territory. I looked at some other vehicles with ACC/radar cruise control, but most of them don't operate under a certain speed.

Traffic jam assist is what you need, it takes ACC and moves it up a notch so that the car stops, starts and steers itself in traffic with no driver input at all. Both Passat and Skoda Superb have it, I am not sure about the Octavia.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbuXN8ViiPk

Yeah, that's how the thread started. I had seen traffic jam assist (a video for the Passat) and a friend of mine who has an Audi Q7 with that feature was talking about it. I was originally trying to work out whether the Tiguan actually had traffic jam assist, because at the time there was no feature list available. I don't really care about having to steer, and also don't mind so much if I have to press a button on the steering wheel to re-engage it, the fact that I don't have to constantly move between accelerator and brake pedals will make a big difference. I wouldn't use it all the time, just in a particular stretch of traffic that I commute in every day.

I spoke to the salesman today about this and he had never heard of TJA though it is in the Skoda Superb and some Audis I believe.

Traffic Jam Assist only on the Superb when equipped with Tech Pack.
Adaptive Cruise standard on every Superb and Octavia.

Hello Need some help and information form more advanced users like DV52 and others , I have Tiguan 132tsi Comfortline with no DAP with standard cruise control and A5 camera standard fitted sign recognition. I am wondering if My Tiguan is hardware capable for ACC , I checked couple VCDS scans of Tiguan with ACC and looks like module 13 hardware and software so far is the the same as on my Tiguan . I want to upgrade from Cruise Control to ACC, is it possible to do simple by coding in modules by VCDS or Vag Can Pro and if yes than which ones and instructions or help? I need also technical information regarding ACC buttons on on steering wheel, I noticed is same layout and numbers of buttons as Cruise control Steering wheel except ACC version have like Car assist icon in middle and my button instead has in the middle cursor CL icon , I know this buttons are exchangeable swappable use same number wires and connectors ,is any difference between 2 version of buttons, is difference only icon picture on the middle button or inside of this buttons housing PCB has some real chip which is programed to have specific ACC function or Cruise Control ? , if is just buttons with same function and layout than can I use same buttons or need to buy new ACC buttons Set and exchange ? , and what else need to be changed , hope ABS pump is the same and compatible . I can do full scan of modules if is needed to compare with someone Tiguan 132TFSI or 162TSI with DAP and ACC .If some hardware change is required I will need information which hardware I will need to proceed with retrofit if someone can help with ACC retrofit information's for Tiguan II . Next project will be also Areaview 360 retrofit already purchased STG module waiting for wiring to can getaway and pin out diagram and cameras cables , also want to upgrade from Halogen headlights to OEM Full led, headlights are on the way with levelling sensors and AFS module ( any help for coding from Halogen to Full LED and sourcing correct adapter wiring and installation information more than welcome). Thx in advance
