    I second that! Lol I wonder if you just removed the switch cluster to tap the wire from there? I'm interested to see if you were able to do it without splicing any of the wires? in any case, nice!

    Congrats man!! The TJA is my first experience with any sort of self driving so I'm not sure how it stacks up against other manufacturers. I wonder, does the Acura's version use radar as well as a camera? The steering wheel is definitely an easier to work with installation location. I've just...

    I'm glad you enjoyed the website. I overlooked sending a confirmation email. I'm going to set it up now so expect one soon. Also, I'll be adding some additional example videos as well as some installation instructions later today so look out for that too.

    I can confirm that whenever I put my 4.7lb laptop on the passenger seat, I eventually get the seatbelt alarm until I remove the laptop and put it in the floor. 2014 BEV

    Update: I've finished designing and testing the circuit board and am currently waiting on quotes from a couple fab houses. Also, parts are on order and I am working on the housing and wiring in the meantime. I'm estimating it'll be about a week before everything arrives and I can begin final...

    I'm not entirely sure if the parking package is necessary. I know that outside of the United States, BMW states TJA as part of the tech package. However, I don't know whether park assist is necessary. I will look into it and get back to you.

    I am currently working on a write-up to allow you to enable TJA via bimmercode rather than having to get a hold of e-sys. However, there are a couple ECUs that bimmercode doesn't appear to support and so I'm trying to figure out if it's even doable. But to answer your question, yes, you can code...

    Thank you! I did not make any changes to the controls behind how TJA operates nor did I modify any of the controlling hardware. Furthermore, if the system determines the road is unsuitable for TJA, it will flash the TJA steering wheel icon read, warn the user with an audible chirp, and then...

    Okay, so I finally had a chance to take a couple videos of the system in action. For your viewing pleasure: Photo showin max TJA speed with coding (please keep in mind that the internal TJA controls were tuned for speeds below 36 mph) TJA enabled but not active TJA enabled and active...

    I am trying to get a separate website up to better host questions and show videos, photos, etc.. I plan to post some videos as soon as I get a chance to get on the road during rush-hour. As far as your specific questions: What is the interface with the car? >> The module is connected via...

    My experience trying to enable Traffic Jam Assist on my i3 (5AR)

    The module is a hardware piece with software on it. I will include any needed wiring, fuses, and tools needed for installation. Right now, I'm having a PCB house build up the circuit boards and will hopefully have modules ready sometime late next week.
