VCDS/OBDEleven enable traffic jam assist?

[sclyde2]

i'm guessing that "lane assist" is VAG's "family" of driver assistance features that relate to keeping the car in the lane. maybe the plain-jane bounce-off-the-boundaries version of it is simply referred to as "lane assist". "adaptive lane guidance" is probably part of this family of "lane assist" driver assistance, so could also be described as lane assist. generic descriptions of the feature probably refer to the simple lane assist family rather the specific version of lane assist, such as adaptive lane guidance.

yeah the instructions are pretty clear. i might not get it to until the weekend.

iv, tried multiple ways now and still no success, i was stuck in traffic for 2,5 hrs the other day which i thought would be a good time to do the mods on the fly, but still have nothing.

What I do like is the water mod for highway use of the ALG as I drover for about 30min without touching the wheel, it was very interesting.

Can you lease clarify what the water mod is?

[Diegothecat]

Its more a physical mod that im working on, that is a tube filled with water and it will be attached to the bottom of the steering wheel. but a the moment its a little bottle of water jammed into the wheel lol

i do have the TJA assist working up to a point but for some reason i cant get it to take control of the steering as yet.

[Ozsko]

Thanks for the explanation but I will pass. TJA is ACC with ALG controlling the steering under 67KPH. The only thing missing from any car with ACC is the steering component, the 3 second delay for re-start is present in any car with TJA and so is the 13 second dead man feature. The more I see the less I am convinced the open time control of both is possible because VW have just released an Audi with what appears to be both but are saying that they will not allow it to be activated in countries that don't legislate to allow for it. The presenter starts talking about autonomous driving capability about two minutes in.

Can you lease clarify what the water mod is?

This guy has rigged up a water bottle (from the steering wheel) to fool the system; YouTube
Another in a Tiguan; YouTube

I also viewed a clip a few month back of a guy in Russia sitting in his back seat driving his B8 Passat on the motorway (with a water bottle on the steering wheel).
I can not locate it anymore, maybe taken down?

[Diegothecat]

The funny thing is it actually works.
I already thought that the latest released Audi Q7 has the ability to use the navigation and the front camera together so if it's seized the traffic sign with the exit number that it needs it will automatically start to exit Freeway

[Ozsko]

All the bottle does is load the steering column torque sensor, this sensor is what detects a hand on the wheel when the 13 second warning comes up so the car knows it still has a human that is awake. Trains have a dead man handle which does the same thing.

[Diegothecat]

Yep you are correct. The water moves just enough to fool the steading sensor that there is a driver input coming from the driver. I'd like to find the 13sec adaption setting and increase it. But I haven't as yet.

TJA is now possible to activate on the Passat B8 models with Front Camera (module A5) that ends with 654.

Rainesh, I would be interested in that

Ok great. What partnumber/software number/index is your front camera? You also need ACC.

Gave the instructions to kamold, so it should be no problem to get TJA working on your car

Could somebody please post the instructions on here? No need to be secret with private messages!
