Fiesta 2012 Hill Start Assist - Enable / Retrofit

Featured Replies

Hello
I need your help
 

Situation: Ford Fiesta 2012, Titanium, 1.4TDCI, Manual.
Missing thing: Hill Start Assist.
Problem: I saw few videos on youtube, and read on forums, there are some lower trims, older fiestas than mine,that have this option.(2010,2011,even one 2009 from UK) 
And i want this feature, for my wife. I use the handbrake. Having the car for 2- 2.5 years, we still didn't "learnt" the thing. Mainly because the clutch biting point is when the pedal is almost fully depressed, with around 1.5 cm useable "range".And also being a 1.4 tdci..you imagine it dies on the spot.

So, after reading,asking,searching, i learnt that:

1. It is possible to enable it right now,with Forscan or other tools,but that depends on the firmware of the abs unit. (2 auto shops refused to try,saying it may give them hours of work if failed)

2. I should change the abs unit with one that supports HSA. 

   2.1. I am ready to pay, i buy the unit the next day. Problem is: what module should i buy? where i can search by vin, if the abs unit have that option?

Please, someone help me.
I have the Vlinker FS cable. I will pay for a Forscan license.I will pay for coffee / beer. I just need someone to guide me even to check the first thing,maybe we can enable it and it will work.
Or if we try and it does not work, at least to revert the changes.Being used daily, i cannot "brick" it. When morning comes, i will have some explanations to give.

Maybe useful info : I work with electronics.(repair shop. from phones, to fridges)
