Now, with both of these components in place, it’s become possible to activate predictive adaptive cruise control. pACC (Predictive ACC) is an adaptive cruise control that can automatically set the driving speed using map data (predictive data, PSD) and…
One of the most significant retrofits for me. This retrofit adds the following useful functions: Back when the car was bought in the US, I already planned to install a camera sooner or later, and since then I started gathering the components for this retrofit: I bought the camera on Allegro, and everything else on…
