Waste of time and money on something that's useless IMHO
I've rented numerous cars that have this feature with some of them using camera based systems while others use radar. Even those with lane departure assist. Some of them sway back and forth when the lanes are wide while others are pretty good at it. The ACC is pretty much useless most of the time in traffic which is most of our driving pretty well almost everywhere in the world. The only time is on flat straight highways with little traffic so unless you're travelling a lot on long boring highways... And even then it has problems in rain, snow, fog and anything less than ideal conditions. My advice? Spend your money on other mods. I added a few interior things like a console box under the armrest so that I can hide my stuff. It's contoured and molded that it looks like factory and there's even holes for the USB and power. Other items, BMW logo projector under the front doors. Chrome trim for the rubber knobs, Pioneer tweeters on mounted at the same place as the HK ones and a Pioneer sub in the trunk with a remote in the coin box under the light switch. It also features an active EQ. It was a bit tricky to equalize the sound especially with the two subs under the front seats. Those under-seat speakers are now lower mids and the door speakers are upper mids. I also programmed a bunch of features found on other Bimmer models like the 3 and 5 by hiring a coding expert so that you can program the ECU to accept LED lights. LED Turns in front and back, LED Fogs...and upgrade the engine performance by modifying the turbo-boost to get slightly more HP and TQ along with a BMS CAI. Noticeable performance change enough to bring a nice grin on your face. Bigger wheels and tires are a plus too because of the better handling than with standard 18" wheels and crappy run-flats. Just have an emergency bottle of that tire air and sealant in case. Just these little things. Also for those like us in Canada where the dealers order vehicles from BMW Europe (KMS and optional French instead of MPH) and don't know what they're doing...you can order a BMW mirror with compass with auto dimming and homelink for the garage door from EBAY and they're not expensive. Hope this was useful to some of you out there. Stay safe and healthy and enjoy your life one day at a time. Vaccines and cures are around the corner and today we had some good news from an extensive research study conducted in several Asian countries including Korea that you definitely can NOT catch this virus twice. The virus DNA (RNA) is such that there's not enough difference from the original to the mutations so a vaccine will work better (100%) than with Flu vaccines! And in some parts of the world they're noticing new mutations that are not as easily transmitted and deadly. Keep smiling this will be over sooner than the doomsday prophets are saying.

I totally agree with Xorbitman, this retrofit it's not worth - too expensive, too difficult and not so much benefits.
I also thought about, but after a study I abandoned it. Better find other useful retrofits. Stay safe and healthy. Stefan |

Hi MJE60, thank you for your continued service!
I'm planning on doing this retrofit, as I believe I have everything. My car came with KAFAS, but also Park Assist and Adaptive Suspension, so I'm pretty sure I have the SAS Module already installed (will confirm via E-SYS, when I find a copy). I'll be doing the coding first to see the ACC works, and then buying the steering wheel buttons later (w/ the distance change and TJA buttons - part#61317847654). I had some questions: - People on other forums have said to check whether the SAS is wired to the BDC. Surely it is in mine? - I'll be changing 5AS->5AT, 544->5DF and adding 5AR (TJA) to the SALAPA Element. Will adding TJA cause any issues? Not sure if it was an option in Australia. - Which ECUs do I code? As far as I know, I'm coding BDC, DSC, HU, KAFAS, Kombi, and SAS. Do I need to do code anything else due to TJA, like EPS? Thank you once again - really appreciate it! |

Update:
I got E-SYS and managed to VO code the car. I had BDC_BODY, DSC2, HU_ENTRYNAV, KAFAS2, KOMBI, and SAS. Used ESYS V3.40.2 and PSdZData_Lite v.4.43.40. First Attempt:
This resulted in an "Active Cruise Control Failure", so I made a new FA without Traffic Jam Assist (5AR), calculated and coded for the second time. Second Attempt:
This also resulted in an "Active Cruise Control Failure". I rolled back to a backup FA that I saved, so the car is as it was before (no harm no foul). Some of my theories: 1) HU_ENTRYNAV mightn't be compatible with ACC, might need professional? 2) There's additional ECUs I needed to code, like EPS? 3) I don't have the ACC buttons, which is raising errors. Though the users on the MINI forum did a similar piece of work and didn't have an issue with this. They just couldn't change distances. 4) There isn't a connection between KAFAS2 and SAS - not sure whether I have this, or if it's needed? MJE60 and smercki what do you think?

Apart from needing SAS module I recall that there is also a requirement for different DSC and/or ABS unit. Unfortunately I cannot remember the exact part that is different but I do recall that for vehicles with active cruise control there is an additional sensor (and it’s wiring) in the different “ part” which presumably helps SAS module determine speed/braking for speed/gap to car in front management. Anyhow a close comparison of parts for two options should identify the part. The key point is that this is not just a matter of coding, all the correct parts (modules, steering wheel switches, parts for specific option where there is a variation) are needed otherwise you get failure messages. Generally where fsc codes are not needed for a retrofit you can be sure there will be a “lot” of part changed needed. Sorry I cannot help further.

Anyway without SAS no ACC is possible. Steering wheel is not necessary but MFL, LRE and vibration needs to be coded offdifferent otherwise the wil be errors. |
