Hi all,
after a long time of hesitation, I have decided to go and try to retrofit the ACC to my 2005 A6. I know there are at least two other members of this forum who are somewhere in the process of doing this.
Now, my knowledge of the whole issue is somewhat limited as I don't have access to any literature covering this and am relying purely on ETKA/ELSA and the knowledge of all the people on this forum.
I am going to put down my achievements and some assumptions as I go along with this project and would be really grateful if other members (especially with those with enough experience and knowledge) would share their comments and help where they can. There is no way I can do this on my own, without your help
.
So, till now, I have got together the following parts:
4F0 907 561 A - ACC radar with control unit - 45 EUR from ebay
4E0 953 521 A - the ACC-capable GRA stalk - 130 EUR from ebay (together with the canceling ring, the wiper stalk, light stalk and steering column control unit)
4F0 920 931 P - Colour DIS ACC-capable instrument cluster - 500 EUR from Craigyb
I will still need the following parts:
4F0 614 517 J - ABS control unit
4F0 807 111 C - front reinforcement bar, behind the grill
4F0 XXX XXX X - the front grill with radar window (not sure about PN, no access to ETKA now)
Some brake thrust sensors and brake hoses - not sure about that yet - any help from anybody?
The wiring harness for the radar - probably most difficult as it may have to be custom-made - any suggestions anybody?
Still early stages for the project but I am hoping that I'm at least on the right track.
Will be looking forward to your comments.
