Traffic Jam Assist

I'd be happy to pay for the upgrade as well, the current stance doesn't make a whole lot of sense

We had one member that got the TJA enabled, right?
How did he do that? Must be by the dealer?
My dealer told me if you did not buy or select the option on getting the car, it's not possible to simply enable it or upgrade later on as the official German VW factory needs to code something in it...
Could be a bogus story of course to push me off this track to get it enabled.
If my new Tig does not have it enabled I will contact VW Germany and i'm able and willing to drive to the factory in Germany if I have to. Lets wait and see how they respond to that

There have been two cars in NZ that have had TJA enabled by the dealer, no one else seems interested in following up in NZ which puzzles me. Can ayone from NZ shed some light on why they haven't had TJA activated?

I drove a brand new Adventurer today to see if TJA is or isn't enabled and I came away puzzled to say the least. ACC is certainly active down to stop and when the car in front moved away the motor restarted but the vehicle did no move off without me pressing the resume button. I could not test it extensively in heavy traffic as this was at a rural dealer and they don't have traffic jams in their town. The three second delay was also not present or maybe it was but the motor restarted after more than three seconds stationary. As for self steering we were not in an area where I couldn't positively say it was working but it seemed to be. When the button on the end of the blinker stalk was pressed ALG did not appear in that list but I don't know whether it should have or not.

Has any found out if tja can exist in a tiggy that does not have active info display.

Hi AD Z11
I believe the answer is no as you need a minimum of active cruise control and that only came with the active info display.

Thanks Delewin.
I wonder if acc can be coded in via vcds as I know the mk7 golf has it and they don't have the active invo display.

Hi Adz11
My gut feel is still negative as I think you need additional modules in the electronic control box. Better minds on this forum can provide more specific info.

Delewin.
My fear is your probably right, I can only hope. Isdon is going to do some vcds tweaks for me at some point, I might ask him to have a look through and have a play.

Hi folks. I got the backup of my ACC module done will email those who request it. I have discovered an error in OBDEleven though. When I access long coding on the ACC module and try and change anything I get an “Something went wrong. Try again” error. Going into manual long coding allows me to change options but most of the descriptions are missing ie byte 7 shows only “...”. Only a few of the options in the long coding helper shows up in manual long coding. I am working with OBDEleven on this.

Not so. ACC does not compel AID.

Hi mate, having spent most of the arvo in the car, I can confirm that it definitely has TJA - as per the manual, there is no option to 'enable/disable', it is simply active when Lane Assist (with ALG) and ACC are operating on the highway and traffic drops below 65km/h... Works perfectly too, brakes and steers to a stop & goes again too!... The new media screen is awesome too - almost the size of an iPad in the dash!

Very happy with the car and worth the wait!

Hugo are you confusing Cruise Control and Active Cruise Contol?

I know on my previous car ACC (adaptive cruise control) was available without AID.

No I am not. ACC and Active Info Display are available exclusive of each other. TJA is not a seprate hardware option as it is part of ACC. Nowhere does VW state that ordering ACC compels the customer to order AID.

I had to register to answer this, ok I have a golf 7 facelift and I'm a Pom but don't hold that against me, I might be able to help, so I had the same problem as you (something went wrong), but in the central electronics, and the way I sorted it was clear the app data on the android, then load up obd11 and sign in, then it all worked again, also TJA was a option in one of the packs here in the UK, but my car didn't have it, but my Lane assist today (had tried before and it didn't work under a curtain speed) worked all the way down to a standstill, but my ACC stopped after my car had stopped for 3 seconds and I had to press the res button,
Hope this helps
