You’re gonna need to put a lot more details about what engine, what you replaced and why? if you’ve fitted the same engine exactly and not changed any electrical components you won’t need to code anything, just adapt the throttle body and reset all other adaptations. But we really need more detail than that

Hi guys, anyone got their coding for a 2017 estate front camera with lane assist, traffic jam assist and sign recognition. thanks!!

all that is well out of my depths, any guides or tutorials on learning about the flashing, swaps and all them bits, thanks

so if my radar is 3Q0907561D, that is no good for pACC? Can it be changed out for the 3QF one from a Golf for example and except for the calibration, will it need coding or any software swaps?

What is on this site as I need a login to get in? and who do I contact to get the details?

I’m loving this. Hopefully my next plan is to do this. currently got acc and am getting a windscreen fitted for my A5 camera

First thing, don’t go to Halfords for it. They are unskilled, unqualified and if they think sticking it to the window and just tucking the wire in is a good idea, well that pretty much sums them up.

For anyone looking for the insurer regulations behind it, they are set up by Thatcham and the insurance regulator body, they came into effect on 31st March this year. This is only the first step in a long line of regulations coming from adas and in time the laws and mot manual will be updated to include it. https://www.thatcham.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/006-IIR-Requirements-March-2020-v2.pdf

From a maintenance and repair point of view, if I am repairing a ADAS system from the start of last month, I must provide the customer with a copy of calibrations and who done it. This is to make sure the system is working perfectly, all the time and this copy is meant to be sent to insurers.

I’m not talking mechanical systems, I’m talking electrical systems as in active and driver controlled, passive working all the time in the background.

So to be clear, safety systems in your car will have active and passive systems. active systems can be turned off, such as traction control, passenger airbag, adaptive cruise control. passive systems are things like drivers airbag, abs, front collision intervention so just because you can ‘turn a system off’ does not turn it off. as for MOTs, an mot is the lowest possible level a car must operate, this is not the same as being legally roadworthy in certain aspects. The mot is a long way behind current technologies but the law is not. Driver assistance systems that intervene in accidents or possible accidents can not and should not be disabled and will invalidate insurance if it’s discovered that the system could of possibly prevented or reduced the accident.

My dad has had this happen on his Citroen; hand sanitiser caused it too. the only thing I’ve found to prevent it is let your hands fully dry before touching anything

A few things to note, your car *needs* this to be working else your vehicle will not be covered by its insurance as this is a essential safety feature on the car. It can also not be calibrated at home, needs to have wheel alignment checked and adjusted before having the front facing radar calibrated. This wont be cheap and if theres no damage, you can expect to pay upwards of £300, possibly more if theres damage. You should really exchange details, even if no visible damage :( - ADAS Qualified Master Tech also, a side note. the radar does more than adaptive cruise control, it also has some forms of collision avoidance which need to be fully working.

Can pre facelift (2017) have pACC? of course it will need a5 camera and adaptive?

You shouldnt have to, you should be able to see the inside of the handle, theres 2 tabs on each side, pop the closest ones to you out and it should wiggle free, dont have to remove any latches or motors

I have a mib 2.5, just keep getting this error

Did anyone find a fix for this, this is where my issue lies on IDE11524-ENG137043 I can’t activate it

Sounds like you’re confusing the systems you have front assist which will be your active cruise control park assist will have 12 parking sensors, 4 rear, 4 front, 2 each side or standard parking sensors with 4 rear, 4 front

Sorry to hijack but I’m also in the situation where my vcds cable won’t touch the 4b multi function module. what’s the purpose of this module? what retrofits require access to it?

Whenever I go to code my virtual cockpit retrofit I get an error that long coding helper isn’t available for this vehicle so I have nothing to go off Does anyone have pictures of their coding options screen for me to go off or even their long coding? mine is a 2017 sportline petrol 2wd if it makes a difference. please if anyone can help

Next question there Where is best to get the controls for dsg non heated

So everything can be done still without the view button, just different methods

Hi everyone, I’m gonna be writing a guide as I do my vc retrofit. what does the view button actually do and do I definitely need it?
