Traffic Jam Assist is something I'll have to have a look at after our Tig arrives (May). From the research I've done to date, although limited, I'm led to believe that Traffic Jam Assist requires upgraded hardware that our Australian Tigs aren't fitted with. That is upgraded hardware for the adaptive cruise and/or camera system. Without having a vehicle to tinker with though I'm not certain either way. I'm certainly going to have a lash at it but, to be honest, I don't think I'll be successful. 10% doable.
Traffic sign recognition. I'm pretty certain the camera fitted to our Tigs for Lane Assist is sufficient for this option. Certainly recent Audis with the same Discover Pro system with Lane Assist have been successful in activating this feature. I'm quietly confident I can get this working fairly easily. 90% doable.
Adaptive Lane Guidance. I think you mean the Lane guidance associated with Traffic Jam Assist so see the above paragraph.
My understanding of the different Lane Assist systems is that our Tigs are fitted with, for the want of a better term, a passive Lane keeping system. It monitors your place in the lane, but will only do anything once it sees that your drifting out of your lane without an associated indicator input to tell the system that's what you intend to do. I imagine bouncing from one side of the lane to the other not being kept in the middle of your lane. Traffic Jam Assist, and its associated Lane Keeping is more of an active system. It uses the adaptive cruise to monitor the distance to the vehicle ahead and will vary speed accordingly, but will also (up to a speed of 60 km/h or so) keep you actively in the middle of the lane. I may be wrong, but I believe the hardware for these two systems is different. Accordingly I don't believe Traffic Jam Assist is something that can just be switched on with VCDS. It's something I'll look into further one our Tig arrives.
