I've also successfully added ACC and have all my notes if you have any questions

I'm wondering how involved the retrofit is. I am comfortable with working with wiring but I'd rather not cut or splice into harnesses too much. How much of this is tapping/cutting/splicing? I know it's not "plug and play" in the general sense, but I'm wondering how much custom work is necessary.

Thanks.

The adaptive cruise radar up front is 4 wires (12v, ground, & HS2 CAN high and low) and the HUD underneath the windshield is the exact same 4 wires, so 8 total. None of the those 8 are existing however their sources are nearby. The steering wheel buttons just plug into the exact harness inside the wheel, they just need reprogramming via the SCCM. The bracket for the radar mounts into existing holes and when you replace the defroster grille the HUD clips in easily as well.

I would like to have ACC in my car, but honestly i understand nothing about this process. :(

Please check this post https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/th...talled-and-acc-done.97591/page-2#post-2315010. This contains all the information on a high level. If you do not feel comfortable adding wires and do some programming using FORScan, you should probably find somebody who can support you.

Has anybody figured out a hardware/FORSCAN mod to make 2015-2017 S550's adaptive cruise control stop and go and not cut out at 12mph?

Sadly this is not possible. That would require the next generation ACC.

Sie ghets? Bummer, not having the full utility of the system makes ACC much less useful to me since I often deal with stop and go traffic. How is your ACC working on the A99 and the autobahn in general?

This is something I'm looking into doing also. I have most of the parts readily available. If you already have BLIS installed is the ACC easier to install?

Russ,
Yes, much easier. I used the posts by hro0250 to lead me through it. Send me a PM and I'll be glad to share my experiences with you.
