Biggest difference was to add with OBDeleven the active lane keep. Before I did that it would ping pong left and right. After coding it well maintain inside the lane.

I just bought a Kia Forte with ACC LDA and FCA and it will literally drive itself even though it technically doesn't have that feature. Freaked me out when I discovered it would do it

I did the sensitivity trick with OBDeleven, and I have to say it’s one of the best things I’ve done to my car!

I have these in my GTI, I find the lane keep to be not great (bounces from line to line and too many "false positives") so I keep it off unless I'm on a long freeway trip. Adaptive cruise I love and use all the time.

I just bought a golf R I love the adaptive cruise but the lane keep yanks the car around and I don’t like that especially that my Canadian winter is coming up definitely turning it off.

I noticed mine doesn't pick up trucks pulling a trailer until I'm a bit too close, I just keep an eye on the dashboard, if I can see it picks up the car in front I'm good

Even feel my gti clubsport is half a tesla just because it have ACC & can turn of the cylinders to go completely silent (useful downhill) at times, but nothing i use to often as dont wanna wear em out. Acually disabled the start/stop with OBD Eleven coz of this. Missing that lane assist here though.

My dreams are crushed ! After much consideration I decided to keep my current car, 07 lexus is350 and not get a vw gold R at this time. Going to fix up the lexus a bit and do some maintenance and I think for now it'll be the smarter choice. Who knows maybe in a few years I'll pick up a mk8 !

Have you done the OBDeleven trick where you can get adaptive lane tracking?

Check out the Comma 2 from Comma ai. It’s plug and play for your R. Hands free level 2 autopilot for hours. It will brake and go without any input from the driver. Perfect for traffic jams and excellent for long trips.

i just turned mine off, it kept going from side to side and it randomly turns off but the adaptive cruise control is good though.

Will it come to a complete stop in heavy traffic? Like in bumper to bumper on the highway.
