I have the MK3.5 Titanium X with Active City Stop.

Can I use Forscan/Focccus to enable "Collision warning with brake support" and "adaptive cruise control"? I'm assuming that these features will use the same hardware that Active City Stop uses?

No, needs a radar sensor in the front bumper to work.

I thought the radar was mounted in the windscreen? How does Active City Stop work? Surely that uses a radar?

Active city stop uses the windscreen mounted lidar and it is tuned for short range.

Adaptive cruise and collision warning uses a radar behind the lower grille and is tuned for long range and higher speed.

The idea is that one system gives way to the other at 30mph.

Ah fair enough. I'm guessing then it would be an absolute pain in the rear to install too.

Yeah circle is rain sensor. Top one might be the lidar.

Light sensor is the dome on the dash at the bottom of the windscreen.

Yeah the circle on the far right is the rain sensor. I know that much and then the big triangle next to it is the camera.

Now the other two I'm a little at loss as to which does what because the bottom one outputs an infrared light, and the other one looks like a lidar...

traffic sign recognition, lane keep assist , active city stop, rain/ light sensor. i think.lol

For the 1950s Ford Anglia, the feature list included:

A heater and radio were optional extras.

Three-speed gearbox and the gear change was floor mounted.

A second wind-screen wiper was now included at no extra cost. Though they were vacuum operated, and ground to a halt as soon as you tried accelerating.

A 36 bhp side valve engine. So the term "accelerating" would have had a very different meaning then to today.

Cars have got a lot better (when they work), and a lot worse (when they don't)

Did we manage to get anywhere with this? I've seen your posts on other threads and I'd also like to retrofit ACC to my Tit X 67-plate, but can't find the lower grille with the radar section and have no part numbers anywhere online, only images of it! Thanks
