Hi there!

 

I'm trying to figure out what can be enabled on my existing hardware. This is a 2016 Suberb 3 L&K.

 

A5: Frt Sens. Drv. Assist (R242) 
Part No SW: 3Q0 980 654 D    HW: 3Q0 980 654 
Component: MQB_B_MFK     H04 0024 

 

I have this Radar/Camera in the windscreen, and if I look at the assistants in my menu - I only have "Front Assist" enabled.

 

Looking at this https://vwcoding.ru/en/MQB/3Q0_assistants/ it seems I might be able to enable all of these without any hardware change (retrofitting):

Lane Assist, Traffic Jam Assist, Emergency Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition and even pACC (the car has ACC now).

 

I'm pretty new at all this, and it seems I might have to update the camera module, but it's pretty hard to grasp what exactly I need to do.

 

Is there anybody who might know anything about this?

Can’t really help you with the detail, but I have a 2016 L&K. It came with lane assist and emergency assist as standard. I added traffic sign recognition fairly easily. Of course we know that different countries have different specs, but it seems odd that you have the windscreen camera but it’s not doing anything useful. Are you sure you have the camera?

 

Of and for clarity, the camera is in the windscreen, the radar unit is just behind the centre of the front grill.

 

This is my camera

I would first be updating the software to H as it’s the most stable  

 

then regarding changes you can do the following

 

Lane Assist - can be done with vcds or a few other tools

Traffic Jam Assist - can only be done with odis or vcp and a dataset modification

Emergency Assist - this is part of the radar (module 13)

Traffic Sign Recognition - can be done with vcds and a few other tools

pACC - this is a very complicated change and required odis and a lot of hacking 

 

you can also get high beam assist easily enough.

 

your car must have at least one of the above from the factory, else they wouldn’t of fitted the camera  

Thank you for the good info!

 

That's why I'm surprised, I find none of them, well - "light assist" is there in the menu - that is probably the same as "high beam assist".

 

So can this be updated? It looks like I have firmware "D", and I've seen there is a specific update order - and I've never seen it from "D". Is there any risk "H" would not be backwards compatible with my old system? Will the camera have to be recalibrated after update?

 

Thank you!
