If this is what TJA is I stop caring about it. ACC already does all this except steering below 60km/h. I only wanted TJA because I believed it removes the necessity of pressing the resume button.
Read my last message. I double checked it again with my dealer and he's absolutely sure about his statement.
TJA adds the ALG under 60km/h and removes the 3 second penalty. At least in Europe then.

That is what the videos of it show from all sources, Skoda, Audi, Bosch, VW.
VWA said we would not have it and they are right it seems, contrary to their early dealer advisories saying that it was PROPOSED to have it activated.
As I said before that on motorways my ALG seems to work down to a standstill, but doesn't work on minor roads, I do not have TJA
A lot of parameters could be affecting the minor roads but I doubt we have enough understanding of what those things are. Does the car need to see vehicles all round, does the cameras need to see good guidance from road lines and so on. I would really like a report from NZ to see what they have experienced after the upgrade.
So I went to a dealer today (UK) and asked about TJA and he went away and came back after 10 minutes and told me he hasn't got any info in his coding manuals for it, not a upgrade yet he told me
Hi All, as quoted, I took delivery of my new MY18 162TSI (fully loaded) in Australia last week and I can confirm that it has both ALG and TJA.
I think there is some confusion on when/how it actually works and it is different to the Audi system - we need to acknowledge that TJA operates within the limits of the ACC, our Tiguan has a 3 second stop/go function which means you will always have to manually resume if stopped for a long period.
When I tested this I was on an 80km motorway with ACC set, the traffic slowed below 60km and TJA took over by continuing to steer, the ACC remains on as does the Lane Assist with ALG, both icons remain GREEN on the dash to a complete stop... If this stop is long it still requires the driver to manually resume (same as ACC), this is done simply with a light touch of the accelerator or press the resume button on the wheel - the TJA system then continues to steer/accelerate/brake again from standstill by following the car in front.
It's a great feature, I did notice it doesn't activate on suburban roads, and seems ACC needs to be set high or needs to meet certain conditions to operate as TJA.
I hope this helps settles any concerns... Cheers!

If that's what TJA is on a tiguan, then a member here has already managed to enable it. Check post #56.
Post 56 does not fill the criteria at all. My car does what is in 56 and it is not TJA which restarts without driver intervention, the self steering I am not going to comment on except to say that it appears that the vehicle self steers. There is a Bosch video on YT showing this, it is not animated and shows it in real life though it is a few years old now.
The Bosch video (Audi) showing a real drive, note the timed 15 seconds steering requirement does not appear to be active but it never appears to show a re-start and it is two years old. My perception from this video is that the driver does not do the re-start but I could be wrong.....YouTube
The last time I explored all this there were very few videos showing it and what it did and I can now see that my perception was wrong. My insistence that the vehicle is totally self steering is not correct though the Bosch video does not appear to show the same behaviour and the three second time out still appears to be active in at least one of the videos.
My apologies for my insistence that TJA was not in the 2018 cars, while I am not absolutely sure I do think it might be while all along VWA are saying it isn't. Unlike the Audi the VW gives no positive indication and has no extra control to activate it so has it gone a step further than the Audi in that it happens seamlessly? None of the videos to me answer all the questions concerning re-start time out etc, the car I drove would not re-start after any period at all and I questioned this at the time.
I'll go along with that, so do we presume that TJA is in the latest cars, the dealers say so and VW says not or did according to my last conversation with them.
