FYI, this FTS was done WITHOUT active sensors. this was passive sensors! my active sensors arent even here yet!

@lemoncurd I stumbled on to your thread while looking for something semi-related.

Have been doing mental gymnastics about added the ACC radar to my retrofit list, but was first looking for info regarding the ECU edits for my Mk7 type MFSW with CCS buttons to make that upgrade functional (I had that wheel setup from a Mk6 Scirocco with the stock CCS stalk, which i changed to MQB stalks and replaced the CCS with one having the Assistants button)

I have steering controller with high enough SW to manage the M7 style buttons, but the issue is that the ECU throws the well known implausible signal due to the setup sending both the CAN signal and the corresponding Mk6 LIN driven BCM signal...

Anyway, I have some reference info for the binary ECU changes required for both the MFSW/steering fix as well as changing the ACC coding mask, but I am loath to crack the ECU open like a clam to get to the bootloader and dump/edit/reload the binary. I am also trying not to spend on the big bucks tools used to make such changes via OBD to a one-time use... That leaves a trusted tuner with the tools/skills or another method/reasonable tool option that I am yet unaware of.

Curious how you had your ECU edited to allow coding the ACC?

I figured if I was successful in getting the ECU squared away, I'd move from the mental gymnastics on to the spending exercises and rip 'n' tear phase for the ACC.

I have a new BS ABS unit sitting around, which I would bump to CC/SW175, and late PQ cluster in the car that can support CP and ACC display, so I am a third of the way there. Mounting and Calibrating the Radar would be the next hurddle and I have been watching your progress gathering up some motivation!

alot to unpack here.
for one, i now know a thing or 2 (not really LOL) about fitting actual MQB wheels ;)

IMG_0933.mov


okay, about what you actually posted.
i really dont know where to go, or how to fix your wheel issue. im really a total newb to it all. i had tons of help from old forum posts, and people on the web

regarding programming ECU. PCMflash is what i used to read, then write my ECU. PCMflash is just software, i had a openport tactrix 2.0 for the cable to connect to the car.

editing ECU is somewhat interesting. i would say it would be best for you to start your own thread, and put info in it like a VCDS autoscan. if your ECU is similar to mine, once you read the file out i would be happy to take a peek. if youre lucky you can read your ECU without having to open it!! i had to open my spare to read it, but i didnt have to for my mom's 2011.

about the retrofitting late PQ cluster, not needed. i can sell you a 7n0 radar which is patched for CP and all FEC's. you can keep a lowline black and white cluster and it works fine. just sold a radar to a 2016 passat NMS S-line (not SE or SEL, S.) and it's working fine. FEC 10 00 36 00, 10 00 37 00 (ACC high, nonFTS and FTS)

mounting the radar is frankly a pain. a real PITA. im so tired and done with dealing with mine erroring out due to lower grille mount i gave in and bought the damn VW emblem + emblem mount.

calibrating the radar is SUPER easy. like really. i did it with my phone, and eye balling it. the radar is also pretty smart, itll error out if alignment is too far off, and you can check the deviation of mounting angle by looking at measuring blocks with VCDS.

thanks Lemoncurd!
Yeah, that was a lot of contextual info--don't want/mean to hijack the thread:

I understand the Mk6/later steering wheel problem and know how to resolve. I may want to chat you up about the Mk8 wheel though on a different thread/venue.

Glad to hear PCMFlash worked for your ECU edits, I had read that it could, and its good to get stateside confirmation. It is reasonably priced for the purpose and Tactrix is in my backyard, so I will have a go with them so I can get that piece of the puzzle finished.

Thanks for the insight on the radar mount--surprised it was not more bolt up, given that is where the NAR 2015-2016 PQ Jetta mounts it. Another thing to discuss with you, since my car is in the same PQ35 family, albeit with a dash of Passat/CC. I would prefer behind the logo, but need to see how much off the shelf and how much fabrication may be needed; I have not pulled the bumper skin and grill off to really stick my nose into it.

Have the info off of the Euro/Russian sites regarding setting up the Radar--which would seem to be about the same thing you are doing--but I would consider it preferable to pick one up from you already to install rather than to faff around doing it myself. Love solving puzzles but time has become a critical commodity for me these days.

I'll PM you a message when I get a little farther along and clear the prerequisites.

Regards!

okay hopefully final update on this damn lower grille mount. it looks like i got it working!!

i was finally able to get my hands on a different firmware from a different vehicle, which confirmed my suspicion of my old firmware being bad.

after patching the new firmware, generating a new SWAP for the ACC-high FTS FEC, and making a new dataset, it works! i was unable to get the clean sensor error where the old firmware failed 100% of the time, AND i wasnt able to get any phantom braking while on the highway. i passed people on both left and right sides (right side only for testing, i promise)

hurray!!! lower grille mount FTW

edit: it hasn’t errored. I think it’s actually fixed! I adjusted the mount angle to 0degree’s as well, since the dataset has the corrected height

So, I ended up following in @lemoncurd 's footsteps, and retrofitting ACC to my 2012 Jetta Sportwagen TDI. He's been super helpful and I can't thank him enough. My setup is essentially identical when it comes to the retrofitting of the third ACC stalk on the steering column and the CAN gateway swap, but I went my own way when it comes to the radar mounting (I mounted it behind the emblem), so I figured I would post some pictures and info for others on the internet that may stumble across this thread. This is what I've learned for anybody interested in a clean, OEM-style adaptive cruise control setup where the radar is behind the front VW badge.


First, there's this metal bracket that's in the way of mounting the ACC radar, behind the grille.

It's some sort of crash bar support, but it's not structurally crucial, and in fact, the 2015 Jetta TDI uses this bracket to mount its radar for Front Assist. The difference though is that car has a completely differently shaped radiator support and bracket, so I had a local fabricator friend of mine cut my bracket in half, and attach a flat plate to mount the ACC radar to.


Not the prettiest, I know, but this radar doesn't need anything crazy (and a nicer bracket is more expensive), and nobody's going to see it anyway.

The part number for the plastic radar mount that I attached to the metal plate is 7N0907561B, and I bought it on AliExpress here for like $40.


You have to cut those long slot tab things on both the grill and the bumper, but eventually it fits:



And then finally, the badge. The original P/N Lemoncurd found was for a 2013+ refreshed VW CC. It went to the edges, but it's $200 ($160 with a discount). A cheaper alternative is part number 3C0853601AJZA, found off the pre facelift CC and some B6 Passats. This badge is slightly smaller, and you need to dremel some slots in your grille, but it can be made to fit, and it's only $50! This makes the behind the badge mount a no-brainer if you have access to someone to quickly whip up the mounting bracket for you.
You do not need the badge adapter/bezel frame that typically goes with it.

Here is a picture of the slots you need to make in the grille for the badge to fit:

This will allow for the bottom and two side clips of the badge to engage, but the top clip doesn't fit perfectly. I plan to use some glue/silicone sealant down the line, after I'm done tweaking the radar adjustment angle and am ready to tighten this all up.

Finished product:

As you can see, the badge does not go to the edges. There are other, more expensive badge P/Ns that do, but honestly I'm satisfied with how it looks.

At the end of the day, you can hardly tell!

P.S.: I thought I would post some pictures of the ACC UI working for those of us with the original black and white dot multifunction display, as I couldn't find a lot of reference photos of that online.





I think it looks pretty neat! The little car icon is solid/filled in whenever the ACC is engaged, and the car is this hollow wireframe look when the ACC is enabled, but not actively engaged (like when regular cruise control is switched on / armed but isn't active). It has its own page in the MFD.

You can also change the aggressiveness of the acceleration in the MFD settings pages:



All of it is controlled by the third stalk (or steering wheel controls if you retrofitted a MFSW with ACC controls)

So yeah! I guess I'm the second person on the TDIClub forums to have successfully done this retrofit. Follow to stop works, and the radar also enables "Front Assist", but it's not real automatic emergency braking, just a forward collision warning system (our ABS pumps can't handle the active braking aspect of Front Assist). The adaptive cruise control is super smooth, OEM feeling in its function, and the lack of a minimum engagement speed means it's perfect for moderate to heavy traffic. It's great, you can just engage it and sit and relax, and it'll crawl along for you. It does not hold the car at a stop though, but that's a minor thing to be honest.

Again, huge thanks to @lemoncurd , as I bought the stalks, CAN Gateway, and radar from him, and he helped me with the ECU flash and VCDS coding. The only thing that I've done that's sort of different is mounting the ACC radar behind the emblem and getting that to fit with a more affordable radar transparent front badge.

WOW! Nicely done! I would do this as well. I'm picking up a super nice gray 2014 JSW tomorrow. this one will be garage kept as previous owner kept her in garage. she's stupid clean. you guys are tempting me to get this ACC retrofit. LOL

How much would you say this retrofit costs? I am strongly interested in tackling on this project as most of my evening commute is stop and go.

I wanna say it was about $750 in parts? I paid around $400 for the steering wheel stalks, wiring harness, updated CAN Gateway, and radar module, $100 to the dealer for the Tiguan ignition switch and stalk mounting bracket, then another $100 to Malone for the ECU flash edit, then $60 to get the bracket welded, $50 for the badge, then like another $40-50 for the radar mount and CANBUS gateway wiring splice thingy off AliExpress. It might be hard to find the third stalk parts though, I got a deal on those, but lemoncurd sells the specially patched radar module and wiring harness for a good price. Also you could get a Mk7/Mk8 GTI/R steering wheel and buy an adapter board in lieu of buying a third stalk, but I'm not sure how much that would cost. This also assumes you're running the wiring yourself, already own a copy of VCDS and have a FlashZilla V3, you own a set of tools and a dremel, and your fabricator guy is willing to entertain your shenanigans for a reasonable price.

...Typing that out is the first time I actually looked at the overall cost, lol. I mean, compared to optioning adaptive cruise on a brand new car I'd say it's relatively affordable. You also learn a lot about how CAN works, and the way control modules are initialized and communicated with VCDS. I've learned enough from this project that I think I'll be able to tackle a power memory seat retrofit from a Passat sometime in the future, or maybe blind spot monitoring waay down the line.

Also, important caveat: it does not do true stop and go. It follows the car in front until 0 mph, but once you stop it prompts you to apply the brake and then disengages itself. The system can't hold the car at a stop for you for more than a second or two before it errors and lets go of the brakes. You can manually re-engage it once you start moving again (at like 1 or 2 mph). Lemoncurd has figured out a work around for this for true stop and go, but that requires a new ABS pump and an Openpilot retrofit ($1150 + install + lotsa tinkering, but that does steering for you too!).

Tempting! Can you get a link for: CANBUS gateway wiring splice thingy off AliExpress?

You mentioned:
Not the prettiest, I know, but this radar doesn't need anything crazy (and a nicer bracket is more expensive), and nobody's going to see it anyway.
Click to expand...
Which car has the bracket? 2015 Jetta?

Would you be able to get the another radar mount made, if I am not able to source a "nicer brakcet" from the salvage yard.

My wagon has a kessy unit, would that be an issue?

I have a MIB2 and Im using 7N0907530BC CANBUS, does it matter?

This is the CANBUS gateway wiring splice thingy:

It says MQB, but it works just fine for our PQ35 cars. Plugs in at the gateway. You need to connect the radar's CAN wires (orange and gray) to pin 7 and 17 off this adapter, which just ends up being the orange and gray colored pigtail. Then, tap power and ground from any ignition switched source (I pulled off the cigarette lighter, using my existing dashcam fuse tap). The radar draws like less than 1 amp so you don't need to worry too much about where you get the power from, as long as it's switched on/off with the ignition.

As far as your gateway, I don't know the specifics well enough to say if yours works. I think you need a VCDS auto-scan? Lemoncurd knows the software side of that really well, I kind of just followed his lead. I would definitely contact him on Discord for those sorts of questions. He's active in the Openpilot Enthusiasts discord server. I know your gateway at a minimum needs EXT-CAN support and might need a software update as well.


Finally, the reason I couldn't use the 2015 Jetta bracket is because the mounting holes and structure of it is completely different to our cars. Here's some reference photos off of my brother's 2015 Jetta TDI SEL:




Comparing this to the photos of my Jetta Sportwagen, the bracket is completely the wrong shape and the mounting holes are in different spots. From what I can tell, the only way to get this done is to have someone fabricate the bracket for you. I do not know of any OEM brackets for our cars that would mount up perfectly.
Issue is, I can't exactly just have my guy make a ready made bracket for you because it also requires removing a significant amount of plastic around that front part, and cutting slots in the screw holes on the crash bar side to allow the bracket to be adjusted. It's one of those things where you need the car present as you're cutting, tweaking, adjusting, etc. The bumper and grille also have tabs and notches that need to be cut for the bracket to clear.

What I meant with "nicer bracket" was just paying my fabricator guy to make it out of a single piece of steel and making it look proper, rather than just throwing something together with an angle piece and plates he had laying around. But you don't need to go all out, the radar is pretty light and as long as you use the factory screw holes whatever you make will most likely be sufficiently rigid.

Congrats on all your hard work! I'm planning to tackle something similar on my MK6 GTI this year. My CBFA engine needs a patch to enable ACC and FTS. Did you use u-Link NT to handle the radar Component Protection removal and SWAP activation? I'm guessing your next retrofit might be electronic hand brakes with the stop-and-go feature? :)

yes, i used the u-Link NT for CP removal and SWAP activation

if you'd like to purchase a radar, i can provide one. i also offer free customization of the dataset to be loaded onto the radar, something which took me some time to figure out

i am NOT retrofitting EPB, and i do NOT recommend anyone retrofit it. it is NOT required for stop and go.

i have stop and go working currently, ill eventually make a custom module to sell. in the mean time the functionality is working within openpilot while using the OEM ACC signals

First off, I need to patch the ECU, but I’m curious—how did you figure out which hex bytes to modify? My ECU is a Bosch MED17.1 with a CBFA engine code. From the factory, this engine didn’t have ACC activated, it has some masking on bytes that enable ACC and FTS, but if we look at the Passat CC with the same CBFA engine, ACC comes activated by default. My initial thought was to take an ECU from a Passat CC and compare it to find the bytes that enable ACC, but I’m not sure if that approach is worth it. For read/write did you use PCMflash with an Openport 2.0, or did you rely on other tools like ktag/kess?

About EPB, people on drive2.ru says that FTS and stop&go is not possible to make without EPB, if you made this without EPB, my respect.
Recently I bought ABS module with latest letters CC (the best one for our car platform) that I will install in near future.

the bits to modify in my ECU was just enabling the CAN matrix bits. there is a feature / CAN message enable bit for each signal in the EDC17. all the functions for ACC are present from factory in my ECU, the CAN ID just needs to be enabled

given your same ECU was used in an ACC equipped car, it's likely you just need to enable whatever CAN ID is missing for radar

i used openport 2.0 with PCMflash to do reading and writing of my ECU

EPB is most certainly not required for stop and go. the EPB signal is, known as ECD. but fitting the EPB hardware itself is not required and actually complicates implementing functional stop and go.

the ABS module you mention is the right one, CC is a h46 design so it will work. CC is also the right firmware for this to work too. that is the same pump i have retrofitted into my car

The same thing I need to do with my ECU also, will be a challenge for me to find and enable CAN matrix bits, you have used hex editor or winols software for bits modification? CRC I guess was automatically calculated/fixed by PCMflash.

WinOLS would be the best, specifically if you can locate an A2L or internal Bosch documentation for your ECU to identify the CAN register

It may be worth it for you to reach out to known/dedicated ECU patchers. Generally they are based in the EU

WinOLS should be able to automatically correct the checksum. PCMflash might do it? I know PCMflash verifies the checksum, but I'm unsure if it corrects it

I've been trying to locate the damos file, but despite downloading 800GB of them, I still haven't had any luck. I came across someone from Russia who can patch the dump for $100, which isn't too expensive, but I’d prefer to figure it out on my own. I have a second ECU that’s identical but has a different software version, which I plan to use for experimentation. For now, I need to order an OpenPort 2.0. Funny enough, I used to hate assembler lessons in university 10 years ago, and now I find myself needing them!

if the hardware PN is the same, dump your original ECU and write it to the spare with immobilizer disabled
if you need someone to turn off the immo, let me know. i can do it for you, just PM me and ill send my email if you want to do that

hell, even if the spare ECU isnt the same PN as your original, i'd flash it anyways to test LOL
you really cannot brick the ECU when you have access to the boot pin AND the original dump that was loaded. so make sure to READ both ECU's and store those original reads somewhere safe!!!!!!!!!!

edit: just remembered you dont have a TDI..... ill still try to immo off your ECU but no promises :)
also, make sure to verify what flash config your ECU's are!
some ECU's are 2mb only, so all internal to the MCU. other's like mine and newer EDC17CP14's (which are REALLY EDC17CP20's with a different software..) are 4mb, 2mb internal on MCU and 2mb external on a dedicated flash

with the PN, i may be able to give you a PDF of your ECU functions from bosch. likely wont be a 100% match to your ECU, but searching for the data you want in your BIN can be done by copying some arbitrary data a known number of bytes ahead of or behind what you want to change.
then search your BIN for that arbitrary data copied from the reference BIN in the bosch documentation, apply your offset to get to the data you wanted to see/edit, boom!

nice! genuine openport 2.0 is the way to go. china clone PCMflash is fine for the software side. PM me for more info and links on what you should buy
about the asm stuff, yeeeeeah it's a bear!
i've been neck deep in the power steering firmware for a while now. i'm largely still clueless to how asm/ghidra/embedded works. like if you threw me into a new binary in ghidra like our ECU's, i would be clueless.
thankfully with the EPS, we had a wonderful starting place because of Willem's blogposts for the EPS patch with our self driving stuff :)

The HW is the same for both ECU 1K0907115AK.
This ECU is from my car:


This ECU is from donor car:


The AQ suppress AT, but I can easily flash AT with AQ firmware to have identical SW, here is the picture for reference:


Regarding OpenPort 2.0, I will definitely opt for a genuine version ( already ordered it, waiting the package ). I've read numerous articles about how people have bricked their modules using Chinese OpenPort 2.0 clones. These clones might work a few times or even for a year, but they often end up failing. I don’t want to take that kind of risk.

I want to sincerely thank you for your help—I deeply appreciate it!

i'll start looking for some files for AQ and AT.
your original ECU is older than the donor. so i am unsure if you would actually be able to flash SW 0030 to that AT ECU. H25 vs H26 hardware revisions

worth a shot 🤷‍♂️

ahh, okay

i didnt find any 0040 software in my archive. isnt to say it is not there, but i didnt see it on my first pass looking through

in this link you will find 2 .zip files
rename the .zip to .7z once downloaded

inside youll find a2l's, and .hex's from bosch

i was able to get my hands on most of the DAMOS SAMMLUNG BIG 07-2015 data. sadly i dont have a complete set, i am missing probably 4 or 5 of the archive files from it

the text file used as an "index" of the contents for each archive file alone is 54mb. which for a text file is insane

each archive file is 1gb compressed, and there are roughly 235 of them. decompressed i believe the size is near 2tb

Hi, I finally received the Openport 2.0 and the dongle for PCMFlash 1.20 from AliExpress. I’ve tried reading through the OBD port, but no luck—it gets stuck on "Entering programming mode." It seems like I might need to open the ECU to enter in bootloader mode, but I’d really prefer not to do that. Looks like I don't have another options, I have read some forums that MED17.1 EDC1796 (with high TPROT) can be read only in bootloader mode.

so reading will always be an issue generally speaking

there are 2 types of read methods.
1: virtual read
2: real read

virtual reads are pretty much only for genuine PCMflash, they have a large database of reads on their server they just send to you when it ID's your ECU

read reads are somewhat easy. though they can be difficult.
for a real read, you must bench the ECU

on most VW ECU's, you can enter bootmode through the pins on the front of the ECU. on some newer ECU's, you must open the ECU up and physically probe the bootmode pin

instead of reading your ECU, you could search your ECU part number in this website:
VAG Flash File Free

then unpack the SGO.
Here is "SGO Extract" - A very Helpful SGO -> BIN Conversion Tool

PCMflash can then write that file

ensure you are downloading the same software version for the ECU!
