Retrofit ACC on G05?

I reached out to "Group Buy Car Parts" as I hear they have a retrofit kit for G30.

I noticed on their video it says G05. Has anyone dealt with these guys?

https://www.facebook.com/groupbuycar...97386346950471

I am going to reach out and see if they have specific info and a parts list for the G05.

Keep us updated. If you don’t mind, take some pictures/videos during the install. I am interested by both the mechanical install and the coding. My car is under warranty so I may wait a little bit I am tempted to do the upgrade too.

I was able to have the kit installed a while ago. Works well. I believe it’s an emulator but ACC works just like OEM. Need to reprogram the radar and emulator after every I-step update though.

Shawzy44 This may sound far fetched but I think there must be a way to run the ACC software running on an emulator before installing the radar and other hardware to the car. What errors do you see when you run the emulator connected to the car without the radar?

If I can get 70% accuracy of ACC with just the camera and not the radar proven by the emulator, I will just skip spending the money and time installing the radar and just have a half working ACC

Hopefully you are just joking around and would never try running a system like that. On the hopefully very slim chance you are serious, thankfully the ACC system doesn't use the camera it uses the radar for its operation to sense the distance to the vehicle ahead.

I just want to test the software will work on the car before investing in all the hardware, I don't expect to run this on the road with just the camera obviously. It’s not like it’s a plug and play solution, once you connect the short range radar coding has to be done. That final step is what I want to verify first before hitting a dead end

I am not much help as I had this installed and didn't do work myself.
I do recall that when the radar isn't installed the car shows a driving assistant error related to the radar. The was cruise control is disabled when that occurred.

The radar is 100% required for ACC.

How much did it cost you for all the parts and install? Do you have final list of all the part numbers used and which store did you go to do the install?

In his other thread he linked above he said it cost $2K for parts and $400 for labor. Comparable to my StealthHitch install, actually. Same prices.

Check this thread out for some detail. It is quite a project and looks like the person is stuck on the wiring.
