Retrofit ACC on Seat Ateca?
Hello!
After more than a year of waiting, we finally got our Seat Ateca. It arrived in the Xcellence trim level.
In all the discussions before the purchase, there was always talk of a security package that we had purchased with the car.
Now we've noticed that the Ateca doesn't have ACC, which I personally miss. It's not mentioned on the sales contract, so the seller probably forgot to check the box, and we were stupid enough to sign. Now the real question: "Can I at least have ACC retrofitted if I have emergency braking assistance?" Due to my own stupidity, I'll probably have to pay for it myself.

Unfortunately, this is not easily possible. With ACC you get a different sensor system and there are modifications at different points of the vehicle.
It’s not just a simple software switch.
Brakes, motor, infotainment and various other places also need to build communication to the ACC. If you have an automatic, it’s all in all.
However, if you have a hand switch, the CAN buses are wired differently in the car and you need larger work for other cable harness.
Go best to your SEAT partner and clarify this directly, who should be trying to find a nice solution, because human mistakes in the ordering process can happen
I have to say: I don’t know.
But: Since the emergency brake assistant normally uses the same sensor system as the AAC is missing here, possibly. only one control unit or only one software option.
I’d almost suspect there’s just a check in the software somewhere. Just go to the dealer and ask.
That’s not the case. The radar sensor system of the emergency brake is not suitable for implementing an ACC function. Except: based on radar, they don’t have much in common, the sensor behind the screen is significantly different.
Okay, that’s sad. But clear with 10 sensors that do the same, of course, you have a lot more what can break…
What is ACC? I’ve only seen in the pharmacy.
Distance control. You set your desired speed like the tempomat, but if someone drives in front of you the distance to the vehicle is kept. If the car is right in front of you again, it will accelerate to your desired speed.
