FYI - the i3 doesn’t have an ICM. The ICM’s functions are handled by the SAS, for which you have to code with e-sys as Bimmercode can’t do the SAS as far as I know. So for the i3 to enable all roads and adjust the speed, you’ll need to get e-sys..

I got the quidzel one that goes in the steering wheel and e-sys is the way to go for that mod. It works decent enough for most of the NW burbs, never got a chance to try some of the tougher roads, but it's not really going to work well if it doesn't have good markings and wide lanes. I got...

I think you should look at what the max speed is set to - you normally wouldn’t get weird characters for the speed TJA would work to..

I tend to think it is the export market that is keeping US prices high. I've noticed US cars ending up in Canada or eastern Europe. For some time the bottom was falling out of Leaf prices, and you could easily pick up an '11 leaf for under $5K. But the prices have held steady lately. It could...

Email quidzel if there’s an issue. If you have Rheingold, look for steering wheel touch Lin slave missing. Quidzel tries to respond pretty quick..

Did you try to reach him on the Facebook group?

There’s a myriad of conditions that all current ADAS systems, camera and/or radar, cannot handle. I do believe that the BMW i3 ACC would be better with radar - my wife’s MDX locks onto cars 200 meters out, but i3 only recognizes cars 100 meters ahead. Nothing is perfect, and the closest we’ve...

The Quidzel hands on detection emulator is brand new, but the simplicity of install/uninstall and no nag is probably the two key differentiators. Both modules do relatively the same thing.

I had a give away lease for my first 2 years of i3 driving at a net <$100/mo lease. When my lease was up there was no way I was going to duplicate that deal, not even $200/mo. I ended up buying a used ‘14 for $14K. As long as Leafs hold the bottom up around $6K, I can’t imagine this car being...

So there's a tiny bit of room behind the steering wheel buttons for an in line module. I already had a small microcontroller module designed for another product, and spent my spare time the last 3-4 weeks programming the LIN interface after ordering a touch controller module from Germany...

I’m also in Palatine - I had a laurel mega Bev for a two year lease and recently got a ionic giga Bev. I just got TJA going and would love to help others interested in the same mod..

Acura uses radar and camera(s). I'd say the Acura senses other cars out to about 200 yards vs. 100 yards for i3 KAFAS. While Acura doesn't do stereo forward facing cameras, they might augment the lane placement with information from the blind spot cameras to make closed loop corrections. I'm...

I got my TJA working tonight (Woot!!) I gave up trying to just VO code individual modules and did a one shot. I’ll have to check which one wasn’t included. I can tell TJA isn’t as advanced as my Acura’s LKAS, and a far cry from Tesla AP and struggles past 40 mph, but certainly useful for its...

No I haven't - It's just a really awkward spot way under there trying to get to the wiring.
