Active Cruise Control

For 2018 2 series updates: Active cruise control has been added to the available driver assistance features.

My M235i is a 2014 and would like this for long journeys.
Has anyone investigated if we can just code this? I assume the camera has not changed and if not, we have the hardware...

The active cruise control will likely use a radar sensor and other associated parts and relevant electronics module, as it does on the F3x 3-series. Nothing is showing up for parts for the F22 on realoem.com at the moment. The camera is only shown as being used for lane departure, driving assistant and road sign detection. Measurement of speed and distance of other vehicles is a lot more accurate with the radar sensor, although it could theoretically be done with a camera.

Did you ever find a way to retrofit this? I also have a 2014 and would like it. I can actually see the lights on the dash where it should be but i don't have the option for it.
