That's a serious bit of work! Respect!

However I'll be looking for ACC already there for my next car I think.

Set the Sat Nav, Set the ACC jump in the back and make a cuppa - sorted!

I thought this may be a useful thread to bump for Del, who is soon planning to do this retrofit (and give me some VERY detailed instructions!)

Still need to get my factory fitted ACC calibrated properly after getting it working some months ago.

Del, if you have a way of avoiding the dealer to do this then let me know.

Have you had a look in the basic settings to see what your current angles are?

Although VCDS is vague, it does clearly show two boxes with angles in them, mine was showing 2.xxx on one and 0.1xx on the other I suspect the 2 degree one is vertical alignment because the car seems to sit close to the car in front.

I done basic settings on both and tweaked the sensor up by a bit and will see how I get on.

According to Elsa on the matter the radar should be with in 0.5 degrees to run happily so thats my mission.

I will keep you updated as I go and hopefully figure out whats what to write a label file to make it easier in future.
