The systems for Copilot and in the main as I have been hacking around on mine work in the following manner. Besides the correct sensors installed, you need an actual hardwired on / off switch for features to work. Without those you can make all the software changes you want using forscan but nothing will work otherwise.Ahh but that site also is not up to date because in the availability on the vehicles at the bottom it does not even list the Mavericks at all.
I am beginning to think that some people in established industries don’t understand some concepts of modern media. Web publishing is a constant war of updating and upkeep. It is not like the old days of publish it and send it out and forget about it.
Thanks Starcommtrey1 for the updates to your information on your experience.
Example of the above is Lane Keep on the 360 system. All the vehicles have the front facing camera and image processing module to make this work regardless of if you have 360 package or not. I don't have 360 but I did turn on the driver alert system in the cluster. I can set it but it will not work period without the left turn stalk with the lane keep system button to activate the whole system. I even tried to bypass the stalk to get it on using mykey which is supposed to default lane keep system to on. No dice for the driver alert system and driver assist screen and settings working other than being displayed. Bottom line no button and sensor no functionality.
So onto lane centering and ACC. They only sell 1 switch which has as both buttons for ACC and lane center. Unless they planned to make 2 separate switches which I doubt, it is either both or nothing. From a sales standpoint why would they offer each independent and use 2 switches depending the model and features when regardless of trim XLT and Lariat they'd have to install the radar sensor (which is the big ticket item here price wise) which is needed for both functions? You do that you can't upsell the ACC for thousands more like they are doing now when people figure out it is about 2 minutes in forscan programming and any anywhere from $30 - $100 switch replacement to add ACC if they offer individual and combined steering wheel switches with both buttons.
