The Arteon has Predictive Cruise Control or Predictive ACC as a feature, but you cannot order the Passat B8 with it from factory.

Is it possible to retrofit this cool feature from the Arteon in the Passat B8 and what would it take?

WTF is "Predictive ACC"?

The car will decrease speed when approaching a turn. In ACC

Uses fusion of GPS/map data and Front Assist Camera/radar to control speed.
In Bentleys I understand it also has topographical info in the map data to preselect gears if you start going up an incline etc

That's not predictive. That's anticipative.

Predictive - 'relating to or having the effect of predicting an event or result.'
Anticipative - 'of or relating to prediction'

It's semantics...plus most people can't pronounce 'anticipative', nor can their predictive text suggest it as a possible word...

But there is a difference. Predicting something is more of an absolute. Anticipating something leaves grey area. That's my understanding anyway. :)

Neither are an absolute, as neither may actually occur. Both are educated guesses.

Would certainly be good here with all the round abouts, if it worked well.

Oh no! Someone disagrees with how VW named their predictive ACC feature! Whatever will we do ;)

But, is it possible to retrofit?Need a full scan of an arteon including adaptation channel maps to compare against a B8 to try and figure out if it's a Feature Enable Code or just coding/adaptation. Could also be a parameter set for a module like A5, or 5F....

True, I think it must be a module i.e. new hardware. I cannot find anything with VCDS.

Ok, interesting. What does it say the option in the MIB?

I may have got it a bit wrong, looking through the coding it was to do with speed limit cruise and not with corners, it was discussed here somewhere with pics I’ll see if I can find it

Thanks - much appreciated.

It was discussed on page 13-14 of the vcds thread (Passat b8)

This one is possible to refit. But map support is needed. I've tried it. It's not working in China.:facepalm:

I didn't think this was a feature in AU delivered Arteon's. Can anyone confirm if the AU Arteon's have sign recognition?

i've heard of a couple of Superb owners here in AUS having activated TSR and seeing it work.
it does have a warning message for the first minute or two, bu then its all good.

i haven't enabled it on my Superb yet - am planning to do so soon.
