Hi all
I’m covering a basic write up on another thread regarding mods to my Golf MK7 PP DSG, including this ACC retrofit. I’m going to tidy that thread up as I go to try and provide easy to follow steps for anyone else that wants to do the ACC retrofit…
I’ve been doing hours or reading on this and I’m still not 100% sure I understand what I need to do so I thought I’d check with the experts if you wouldn’t mind reviewing the below and picking me up on anything I’ve misunderstood. A lot of threads had info from Don (thanks Don) and I acknowledge that some of his material is included below along with XaGiCo Dossier (link below)…

I haven’t organised component protection removal yet. I have called euro car electrics on the Sunny Coast 3 times but couldn’t get through (they charge $300); next stop is VW Newstead in Brisbane. I’m toying with the idea of buying the VNCI 6154A tool but I think it could end up being a waste of money if I don’t know how to use it. I do know you can buy single uses of ODIS but don’t really understand how that works. If anyone else has suggestions for component protection removal I’d appreciate it please…
Parts that I have bought already:
Front bumper centre grille with radar hole – 5G0853677D
ACC radar plug and loom – 4F0972708
MFSW steering wheel switches – 5G0959442N
Bosch Long Range Radar (LRR) – 5Q0907541J
My install sequence plan:
1. Remove front bumper and drill existing bumper iron to mount the radar
2. Mount the radar with less than 0.2 degrees angle and refit bumper with new grille
2. Route the wiring loom around the inside of the engine bay to behind the battery
3. Feed the loom through the grommet in the firewall to the passenger footwell
4. Connect the positive for the ACC to the fuse box and negative to a ground stud
5. Connect the CAN-Bus to the black TUIL connector as noted below:
Or/Br -> CAN-Bus Extended Low -> Pin 3 on Radar
Grey -> CAN-Bus Extended High -> Pin 2 on Radar
6. Remove the existing steering wheel buttons and install the new ones
7. Hope and pray that was all done correctly
Now the fun part, coding:
01 – Engine
Set ACC with Front Assist ( PR-8T3, PR-8T8 )
03 – ABS (coding for 29 bit) you need to edit bit 24:
Set F8
09 – Gateway
Add 13 – Auto Dist. Reg on the installation list
Under Adaptation change steering wheel type to ACC
17 – Instrument
On the cluster set all the ticks for Front Assist and Distance Regulation
5F – Radio
Set all the ticks for Front Assist, ACC and PreCrash
A5 – Front Camera
Set presence of ACC
13 – Radar
Set presence of ACC
This where I get a bit confused due to the following:
1. The security access code (20103) that XaGiCo dossier mentions; is that just to allow me to make changes.
2. ABS - how do I “Set F8”. From XaGiCo dossier it’s a set of 0 and 1 that need to be changed. Also do I have to change anything on byte 26.
3. CAN-Gateway - minor detail but is it 09 or 19 (I don’t have my car or VCDS with me at the moment)
4. Radio - do I also need to tick all AWV options as per XaGiCo dossier
5. Front Camera - my car doesn’t have a front camera as far as I know. Is this an issue.
6. Radar - XaGiCo dossier talks about setting Front Assist Camera and Trailer Recognition. Is this necessary.
7. XaGiCo dossier has a coding step involving the need for ODIS (Funktion_ACC). Is this necessary.
Thanks in advance!
