Actually your preferred supplier even has one ready to go

presumably it has negative klm.

Can't say it's my style

You want a car that has adaptive cruise control? You’d have to be the only person I’ve ever known say they want it!! Everyone I know that has it hates it, my wife’s car has it and I’m trying everything I can to have it switched off

My key for my wife's BMW 220i has all the stupid aids turned off, sports mode turned on, MSport suspension engaged lol

It's the best, I love it.

Even in bumper traffic it's great.

yeah its good around town but a pain on the freeway, you have to keep an eye on whether the speed is being limited by cruise so you know to overtake, and it starts crazy far out.

What about driving down the freeway and all of a sudden you can’t over take anything because it keeps slowing you down?

You’d get to know how far you need/want to be behind the car in front before it slows down. Adaptive brain for adaptive cruise? 🤣🤪

Most of them are so bad that it’ll slow you down for some tail lights off in the distance

I don't have this issue in the VW at all.

Yeah, I find the later model VAG group cars probably have the best adaptive cruise. Our KIA is ok, but is annoying because it’s always beeping at you for something..

The only issue I have with it, is when it takes off in traffic it can be a bit aggressive, however this is self inflicted because I've flashed the car and also removed the DBW throttle delay 😂

Is this something that can be done easily? I’d love to have the stop/start default to off upon startup..

Late 2018+ you can't use the voltage hack to disable stop start anymore ☹️

I use OBDeleven to disable the undertaking, throttle delay, tighten up the Haldex, etc. However ECU flash was done by an APR dealer.

This has been my experience, until this Kona EV I have now.

Adaptive at the longest distance has me uncomfortably close at 100kmh.

Set it to minimum distance and I can nearly reach forward and touch the car in front...

Also has a spastic about things in the left hand lane beside you. And you can't follow vehicles around a corner with it on if you're below the set speed or it loses them, and then finds them again. Being EV, it accelerates f**king quick and brakes bloody harsh.

I do think it needs to go see Hyundai and get the sensors checked/aligned. Once that's done, I can hate adaptive cruise in that vehicle 100%.

On topic of adaptive cruise, I'm adamant the Kona has an option in the menu on the dashboard to turn it off. Needs to be done while parked. It's in the driving aids section. Would be interesting if EV can turn off but the Petrol you can't....

 

It was really nice though today on the motorway when it was bumper to bumper. Still lots of like speed off then slow down, which if I'm manually driving I just leave a big gap and try to maintain speed with only slow adjustments.

Wow that sounds terrible, I find in VAG cars, the adaptive cruise by default is set fo leave a massive gap, which is fine however it opens up enough space for people to cut in then slow down in front of you lol.

However 2x taps on the wheel and you can change it quite easily.

I haven't experienced adaptive cruise in other cars, only my Tiguan, SQ5, Golf, T-Roc, and they all behaved quite similar.

The Kia sedan we had at work had awesome adaptive cruise.

Fully adjustable from heaps of room, to near on tailgating.

Great for a comfy daily hack.

The adaptive brakes were great as well, nice and smooth at keeping the distance, they did hit fairly hard if the car in front hit the brakes hard, but, typical to what you would do anyway.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
