Apparently no radars need to be installed as the front assist radar will do the job for ACC and even pACC. Only the stalk needs changing which will be a genuine part. Depending on warranty situation, I will probably only do this once my warranty runs out as I value my warranty more than ACC.

Hi all, so an update to this situation. As most of you said the dealer wasn’t able to fit this themselves which was a shame. In fairness to them, they did try to find a way internally to do it but every tech person/department they tried all said no. I did shop around retrofitters and found a someone who can do it at a reasonable price. The dealer has said they’re happy to pay for that amount. I’d say a fair result in the end.

Thanks for the advice. If that’s the price for a retrofit then I will certainly be asking for that in compensation if they cannot do it themselves. If it is going to void the warranty then I will wait another 2yrs before doing it. Regular cruise control is ok enough

I’ll push hard to ensure my warranty remains unaffected if I go via third party or I’d be wanting a far larger compensation. but surely they have the technical know how to do it as what if there was a genuine fault with those modules. They would have to test each one and replace anything faulty including updating any software issues

Really? I would have thought that would have been their first option over any monetary compensation. surely changing a lever and updating the software to recognise it would be fairly simple on their end?

Yep I have regular cruise control only despite paying for the drivers assistance package. I have found the brochure for last year and that package clearly states ACC. I have all the other extras like front assist so I am hoping all of the cameras and radars are there and it won’t be difficult for the dealer to retrofit it. Do you think I can also ask for compensation?

Hi all I ordered a Kodiaq last year which was delivered early October. I included the Driver Assistance Package which I am sure included ACC but this option is not available in the new configuration so I cannot double check. Does anyone know if that package included ACC

I think you can’t select those other options because travel assist includes them already. so i think you made the right choice and you’ll have everything you want

I’m sure you can get traffic jam assist and blind spot detection together. They were together in the driver assistance package last year which appears to be travel assist this year. Also L&K models have blind spot detection as standard and you can separately add the assist package which includes traffic jam assist so it appears doable.

Are the ventilated seats really worth it?

Hi, I have narrowed down my new car to these 2 - looking at L&K vs XCELLENCE Lux The Tarraco is considerably cheaper comparing like for like so I was wondering what additional features the Kodiaq has over the Tarraco? From looking online it seems the Kodiaq has a better sound system with the Canton and the rear seat back release (not sure if that is available on the Tarraco). However these are negligible so pending test driving both, I am swaying more to the Tarraco Any thoughts? Thanks
