CBX RNS510 & Accessories: New Tiguan Lane Assist and Side Assist Retrofit

Tiguan New 2018 Retrofitting Lane Assist and Side Assist

My old customer who had his 2008 CC retrofitted with Lane Assist and Side Assist years back, came knocking on my door. He got himself a brand new Rline 2.0 AWD Tiguan 2018. After 6 months of pure form original ownership, he got bored and decide to get back to his roots.

His R Line Tiguan is already very well spec at factory. It has Adaptive Cruise Control which is only available on this model not even found on the top of the line Arteon 2.0 AWD ! Surprising but it is true. It has also Head Up Display but I find it of little use since the Digital Cluster aka Advanced Info Display is right in front of him displaying all the details required in various form. Why do you need a HUD ? Nice to have I would guess but IMHO, it is not necessary.

As usual, retrofitting the Lane Assist requires his brand new flawless windscreen to be replaced. This is inevitable.

Brand new windscreen for Lane Assist

Out with the old and in with the new !

Original rear mirror is reused. The new housing hides the camera.
( the wires are for the event camera - only place for the wires )

Next, we installed the Side Assist aka Rear Assist aka Rear Traffic Assist aka Lane Change Assist aka Rear Traffic Alert. So many names but only one function.

Removal of the bumper is necessary to install the two radar sensors and run the wiring harness into the cabin.

Securing the radar sensor with bolts and nuts.

Factory prepared sound deflective material on the bumper for the radar sensors on both sides.
