1st July 2015 : Upgrading Normal Cruise to Adaptive CC
Having experienced what the ACC can do for my ex-love Passat B6, I must have this fitted on the B7 Passat as well.
Having the
Adaptive Cruise Control would mean vehicle would also get the
Front Assist option enabled.
Installation quite straight forward. Remove the front grill and squeeze in the front radar module. The space in between is tight so....special effort needed.
 |
| Good thing about this set up, we did not have to remove the whole bumper ! The space between the bracket and bumper is very tight unlike it was on the B6 Passat. |
 |
| The mounting for the radar sensor is also special as we need a special extension bracket over the mounting holes provided by factory. |
 |
| The Extension ! |
 |
| Placed over the mounting holes, the adapter would complete the installation provision for the radar sensor to be mounted ! |
 |
| Inserted the mounting clips. |
 |
| Screwed on the radar sensor ! It is so squeezy there ! |

| Next, we have to replace the VW logo with a protective shield to cover the radar sensor |
