Traffic Jam Assist

[SolarRS3]

After using vcds to code the lane assist with early vs late intervention i switched my sight on getting traffic jam assist enabled.

From the info I was able to find, a vag can cable is needed and vcds wont work, but I was not able to find what/how to code the module to enable the feature.

Anybody here has done it or has more information on how to do this modification?

[peshs4]

I had to talk to a guy from Australia that remote controlled my laptop while connected to vag can...he then did it for me works great and you gotta PayPal him once it works...

Do you have any information regarding enabling TJA? I haven't been able to find any substantial information as to whether someone has been able to code it in etc.

[SolarRS3]

the only other info I found is from a VW forum and another Audi forum. Where, indeed, guys from Australia has found the way to code it into their a3 Q5s. I am just unsure if they can do it on can/us cars and I don't have the name of the person to contact. The only thing you would need to buy is a Vag Can Pro cable and then pay for the service (seems it was 150$ on the forum from the guy in Sydney)

[thejerseydon]

what about Audi pre sense city while we are ACC usage?

[WheeRS3]

Thanks for sharing all! I think TJA would be awesome. Not that I don't mind spending $150 to have someone help program it, but I also hope that someone else can figure it out and share.

[SolarRS3]

I sent en email to the man in question, and I let him know about all the guys that could potentially be interested over in the states/canada for his service.

[BaltimoreCaesar]

so what does this actually do? makes adaptive cruise resume from stop after 5 seconds and follows lane lines at slower speeds?

[SolarRS3]

mix adaptive cruise control, lane assist, side assist as well. It uses the car in front, side and movement of those car to follow them and turn in curves. it work at low speed and seems like a more intelligent lane assist (than when used alone at highway speed for exemple.)

[peshs4]

Main thing is it turns for you...and allows you to set lane assist to “early” this keeps the car dead center of the lane when cruising....

Any way you can share this guys info i would like to contact him to code my car.

[steven5210]

I'd be interested as well! Where do you guys get your vag can pro cables from? I saw some for cheap on aliexpress but I don't know if it's good.

Ross tech VCDS. The cheap ones use pirated software which is just wrong and on top of that is most likely outdated and might now work on recent cars

im sure getting cable and software is easy part. just need to find someone that can code it.

No, never got around to get the cable! And I left the city for a while, not as much need ofr it now.

Below is from Woolly on AW - is he who has been helping people? On that forum, looked like they were using ODBeleven exclusively to do this?

A little treat I found in my research – how to activate the ALA guidelines in the HUD:

HUD Module 82
long coding
Lane Departure Warning -> set to available.

HUD Module 82
Adaptations
Personalized settings MMI
Lane assistant -> set to yes

Traffic Jam Assist Coding
I made so many attempts at this so I am not going to guarantee the following is in the right sequence (but I don’t think the sequence matters that much to be honest as if it did mine would not be working). Usual disclaimers need to be noted that this worked for me and not saying it will work for you or if it is legal where you live etc etc – try at your own risk!

My car: MY18, Built 2017, SQ5 Australian delivery. Has all add on’s (DAP etc) but it seems for these cars in Australia they do not include TJA, ALA or the traffic sign recognition (note for the traffic sign one I am waiting on a Kufatec dongle to enable that one as it does need parameterization of the camera). Have previously activated ALA following MitchFin’s instructions (and it works great) from this forum so note that ALA was activated before I did TJA as below.

After each and every change (ie each long coding and adaptation make sure you long press the green tick to accept each change as you go).

Control unit: 13 Adaptive Cruise Control
Long Coding:
Assistent_for_traffic_hold_up -> activated
Traffic_jam_assistant_in_car_menu -> activated
Traffic_jam_dependent_linear_tracking -> activated
Driveaway by triggerleaver -> activated
Auto driveaway after short stop -> activated
Auto driveaway by pretrigger -> activated
Curve_assistent -> activated
Dense_traffic -> activated
Emergency_assist ->installed
Emergency_steer_assist -> activated

Note – some of these were already activated – I assume they are part of the stop & go function of the ACC.

Adaptations:
Nil

Control Unit A5: Front Sensors Driver Assistance System (Enter Security Code: 20103 before coding)
Long Coding
STA -> coded

Adaptations

Nil

Control Unit 44: Steering

Long Coding

Heading control assistant -> active
Traffic jam guidance assist -> active

Adaptations

Nil

Control unit 5F: Information control unit (Enter Security Code: 20103 before coding)

Long Coding

Adaptations

Fahrzeug funktionsliste bap2 generation erweiterung:

Front_traffic_assist_0x41 -> activated
Front_traffic_assist_0x41_msg_bus -> terminal 15

Vehicle configuration:

VZA pro: On

Once all the above have been done, and you have accepted each change successfully as you have made them, reset the MMI. Once re-started I then hit the car on/off button to turn off. Get out of the car and lock it. Wait 5 minutes then get back in and start the car and go for a test drive (in multi-lane traffic, moving slow with good line markings)

Hope it works for you all.

[SolarRS3]

Never heard of these OBD/VCDS change to enable it, interesting to try when the snow clears the roads.

[stanglife]

I reached out to the guy you guys referenced in this thread. He sounds like he knows what he’s doing - states that the article I referenced is Q5 and that the platform doesn’t share much with the RS3 and that the assist hardware is also different. I’ve ordered a VCP and when it arrives, he will remote in and show me what to do. Cool car guy. Will keep you guys posted. If it works out, I’ll offer to rent the tool out for others to offset my cost a bit. :)

[SolarRS3]

Awesome, keep us posted stang!

How'd it go? I've been trying to find someone to rent this tool from too and the other guy I reached out to on the VW forums hasn't got back to me yet. If it worked out well for you I'd definitely like to rent it from you so I can get it done too!

I was thinking the same thing in regards to renting someone's. I'd be down to do the same.

[peshs4]

I am willing to rent my cable....not sure how payment would work/ deposit.....if you check my post towed the top I have posted the e-mail of the guy who did mine...he is in Australia I think and he does the work then has you test it then you send him a paypal.....I was skeptical but he does not ask for payment till it is done....please let me know if someone wants to borrow my cable I am in south jersey so figure you would have to pay for shipping to you and probably a deposit I would PayPal back to you once you got the work done.....if you are serious my suggestion would be to talk the guy and set up time to get it done....then let me know I can send the cable....

I should have just rented yours :) I'm interested in seeing how to do it, too. The way he described it was that he would show me what to do - so maybe I could then help others or just document it. He actually said that he would do it for free but donations were appreciated, which I think would be appropriate.

Looking forward to it. I emailed them today and they said that I would have to wait and something about a USPS mail problem...I guess at some point, the packages move to USPS and that's what I'm waiting for.

[Potshot]

So if you have acc the car basically drives itself? I drive the e-tron and was really impressed how well it held lanes on the highway.

[stanglife]

So if you have acc the car basically drives itself? I drive the e-tron and was really impressed how well it held lanes on the highway.

ACC is stop/go radar assist cruise control and that works from the factory.
ALA is auto lane assist and it also works from the factory but it has 2 things that could be improved on. 1 - it doesn't hold center...allows the car to get pretty close the line before it corrects, resulting in a ping pong effect between the lines 2-3 times before it requires steering input (it tells you and then turns ALA off!) and 2 - it only works above 40mph.

We are talking about TJA - Traffic Jam Assist which apparently 1 - adds the "early" option to your ALA which keeps the car in the middle of the lane and 2 - will hold the car in the center of the lane all the way to 0 MPH. It will also go longer without steering input...but will ask for it eventually. This is not auto-driving but in a well-defined lane (lines on both sides) can stop/go and keep the car in the center of the lane all the way to 0...so it kinda drives itself but it's not going to change lanes and make decisions for you.

[Potshot]

Thanks for the clarification. I know "driving irself" may not be the most accurate description, but I meant more like drives itself in a lane.

Do we know how long it let's you not give input. After about 45 seconds the e tron beeps at you and then actually pumps your seatbelt! It has sensors in the wheel. I assume the rs3 requires input in steering since it doesnt have steering wheel sensors.

How does the rs3 notify you? I wouldn't want this mod if it's going to keep at me every 30 seconds.

I’m not sure on the lane assist but I understand that the current 3 second timeout at 0mph (when you would then need to touch the gas to resume ACC is increased - someone said 15 seconds but we will see!

[WheeRS3]

Hi everyone, I was able to use the VCP to flash TJA thanks to peshs4 lending me his cable. Thanks to him, he got me in touch with the guy in AUS who helped him out.

Julian taught me how to flash the new parameter set to the camera to help the community. So happy to help!

Some pointers, you need to have Early configured for lane keep assist for the TJA to work. If you don't have it and set to Early, TJA will not work even if you flash it. It had slipped my mind and I was bummed that it wasn't working on one of the cars we flashed. After an exciting but discouraging ride back with BaltimoreCeasar, just as we were about to park I suddenly remembered! So don't make my mistake!

It allows lane keep assist to work below 38 MPH. So for example, you set it on the highway and if it slows down due to traffic, it'll still stay centered in the lane automatically. When traffic starts up again, you hit the gas or pull back on the stalk to get it moving again. It'll automatically switch from Traffic Jam mode to standard Adaptive Cruise Control.

As for time duration, it appears that it is the same amount of time as using normal ACC.

Hope this helps!

[SolarRS3]

Wow thanks for the update! How much did it end up costing you to have it enable in the end

[peshs4]

So I was contacted by two other members that wanted to rent my cable...I ended up sending it out and asking for shipping cost and a $100 dollar deposit that I would send back once the next user got the cable and ensured it worked....this worked and we have got a bunch of us Rs3’s activated with TJA let us know if you are interested in getting this done and we can make the same arrangment....

So I made a donation to Julian since I kinda figured it out but appreciated his time answering my questions and using his experience. Also made a donation to Pesh for the cable. So my cost is probably not what everyone's cost will be.

That being said, I'd be willing to help the community by providing the instructions on how to use the application when you have the cable. It's nothing secret but figuring out which parameter file to download and how to navigate the application.

We ended up flashing the new parameter to four RS3s this weekend and they all appear to be working.

Entire process shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. The application install and all the associated downloads is what takes the most time.

It makes a chime noise and has a display that essentially says that driver input is required again.

Great news! I did receive my VCP but my car has been in the shop. I’ll have it back this week so I’ll be ready to go!
@wheers3 - when you say that you need it set to early - my car does not even have that option right now. As I understand it, that is one of the options that will be available as a result of this coding - correct?

Happy to put my cable into circulation after I get mine setup. I’m near Tampa, FL.

[peshs4]

Any one that wants this please contact me I will send out my cable for free just need shipping and deposit of $100. So far I have been able to get 6 cars done with my cable(including mine). The donation given to me is going to be passed on to the first guy who bored my cable because he had to pay$50 to get the subscription running again...I am doing this just to get more value out of my cable. I am done with it and figure if I can help a bunch of people out, then bang more karma and value in one.....again feel free to dm if you want to borrow the cable...I should get it back next week....if you hurry I can have other user send direct to you....

You'll need to code that in so that the camera can steer for you and keep you centered in the lane.

You'll need to code it then enable it in the MMI.

Lane Assist Early (set via menu):

A5 - Front Sensors Driver Assistance
-long coding
-Byte 14 bit 5-7 (maybe... confirm since I think this is where it's at but it's not mentioned in the VCDS thread)
-point_of_intervention: early (setting via menu)
You'll need to go into the MMI and manually set it to early.

[WheeRS3]

Alright, folks here's the entire process. Happy to help the community. If you need help, feel free to reach out.


Prep
Download the activator program here:
http://www.vcpsystem.com/vcpsystem/install/vcpsetup_v8.zip

1. Run VCP installer and connect the cable to your computer.
2. Click the connect button and run Download 1 and Download 2. This took like... 30 minutes to an hour. So I just had it download while I was doing something else around the house.
3. Using VCDS or the VCP (if you're done downloading), confirm the hardware model of the camera (all of the ones I flashed were 3Q0980654H) but confirm by going to Module A5 and look at the Part #.
4. Once the downloads are completed, run the Filemanager and find the A3 front assist camera file and download it. The file I used was TrafficJam Assist Activation Data for 3Q0980654H - dated 2017-10-11. This will ensure that you're flashing the right camera parameter for the right camera (I believe that the parameter set includes your car size and etc. So it would be important to match your vehicle.). Once you have the ZDC file and all the downloads completed you're ready to upload the ZDC file (which contains the parameters) to the camera.

Flashing
1. Plug in the VCP dongle to your vehicle and computer.
2. Open VCP System application.
3. Open "Guided Functions"
4. On the right side of the page select "Apps" under "Module"
5. Select "Upload parameter data", hit next
6. Confirm that the ignition is on, engine is off, your battery is not going to die anytime soon, and hit next
7. Hit "Open ZDC file" and select the file you downloaded earlier.
8. Make sure "EraseFullMemory" is checked under ZDC Info. If this is not selected, the application will not be able to flash the camera and you'll get an error.
9. Select module A5 (Front Camera) under ECUs
10. Select appropriate data to upload, in our case, it was "Limo_TRAFFIC_JAM_ASSIST"
11. Check your selection
12. Click "Upload selected data". You may get an error on your dash from lane assist. One of the cars we flashed gave warning, the others did not.
12. Sit there and wait until you get the Successful message in the bottom of the window
13. After you get confirmation that it is done, you can close the window.
14. Guided functions window will instruct you to turn off your ignition, do that.

There may be some instances where the parameter set does not take. You can attempt to reflash using the same process.

Clean up
The flash will generate some errors saying data corruption for the camera module in VCDS. You can clear these errors as they are from the flashing process.

Confirmation
Take the car for a test drive and make sure you have your lane keep assist button turned on. It may have turned it off during the flash.

You will know that the TJA is working if it keeps LKA on below 38 MPH.

Hi, regarding the cable, I'm a bit confused. I have a Rosstech VCDS Hex-V2. Will this work with the Rosstech software, or do I need a different brand cable/software?

Thanks

[WheeRS3]

You'll need a different cable. A Vag Can Pro (VCP). A few members here have purchased one and have volunteered to rent theirs out which prompted the new activity on this thread. More people are thinking of doing it themselves because I learned how to flash TJA and posted the instructions above. Previously you had to rent a cable and pay someone to do it for you.

[WheeRS3]

Y'all are welcome!

Now to try to figure out Traffic Sign Recognition. :)

[[email protected]]

VCP (Vag Can Pro) is a fairly powerful interface which can set parameters like the TJA, flash modules and also do coding, adaptation changes, error codes, etc. Generally always in stock in the US here:

Interface | Vag Can Professional (https://europrice.us/interface-vag-can-professional)

Comes with a 1 year subscription which has support and file access for things like firmware and parameter files.

If anyone has questions about VCP don't hesitate to let me know either here or PM/email: [email protected]

Cheers,

[stanglife]

Darn and I waited forever to get mine from Poland. Looks slightly different than the pic on your site though.

Any good English support forums?

Edit - Looked into this a little more. Not sure if they just changed their site and that's an old photo, or what - but the correct manufacturer URL is www.vcpsystem.com
Here's a picture of mine:

[[email protected]]

You can setup an account here for English support and they get back in a day or so:

https://vcpsupport.pl/otrs/customer.pl

The logo did change on the interface from VAG CAN PRO to just VCP, but it's the same interface and software.

Generally keep 5-10 in stock in the US, mainly for newer model taillight kits but as people have noticed it can do some other useful things that other interfaces cannot.

Cheers,

Updated camera tonight - will test tomorrow!

I also want to be able to set active lane assist to EARLY but that option does not even display in the MMI - any idea there?

[peshs4]

Don’t know how it was done to mine but pretty sure you gotta have it set to eagerly for it to work.....hopefully other user from md will shine in and help....

You need to code it in. Otherwise TJA doesn't work.

Scroll up and you should see the steps I provided.

[Cool_Breeze]

Coded early active lane assist using OBDeleven, works great. Once I get my hands on a Windows PC I'll flash for TJA with pesh's cable, hopefully all done this weekend! Btw, my hardware model for the camera is 3Q0980654A, not 3Q0980654H. Hope it still works...

[stanglife]

I think it has to be at least F. Miley 19 is L and I had to use a tiguan file.

[stanglife]

I only have a VCP - don’t see the options for point if intervention. Will try again in a bit.

You should be able to use the VCP cable similar to a VCDS cable. You'll need to select the module manually and select coding or something like that.

[WheeRS3]

Cool_Breeze, just curious... what year is your RS3?

Got it - everything works great! Here are screens for enabling Early/Late option in MMI on 2019 RS3

165764
165768
165765
Enter security code 20103
165766
In VCP use Coding TXT

Point of intervention - drop down to early, select it and code it :)

Awesome! Glad you got it. Not sure if there's an L camera file that is closer in size to the A/S/RS3 since I think it uses the car size parameters too when doing the assist. But I may be wrong. :-)

Theres a Tiguan tja and a long Tiguan tja option. I used the regular one and it seems to be working great. Ill try the other one at some point.

I think the standard Tiguan would be better. I wonder what would happen if you try to H model A3 file. Would it still work?

But anyways, great news!

Huh that's weird. Cause I have a 2018 and have a H camera.

Stanglife has a 2019 with an L camera.

I think you'll want to flash the L camera files since that's the firmware on your camera.

[Cool_Breeze]

Flashed the camera as instructed and it worked perfectly! Thanks to Pesh for the VCP Unit, WheeRS3 for the support, and Julian for the know-how! This community rocks. Small update, I noticed the ZDC file is now labeled with 3Q0980654L in the file name instead of H.

Just to accumulate the rest of the notes in one spot..

This is a link Julian sent - most of it was reposted by wheers3 here but just in case, here it is again.

[mudd1011]

I definitely have to do this for my 2019. Maybe I should just buy the cable and sell my Rosstech? I assume the VCP cable/software has all the same functionality as the Rosstech and more?

Vcp seems to have some additional capabilities but the community support isn’t nearly as strong as vagcom/rosstech.

[WheeRS3]

Keep in mind though that the VCP cable has a yearly activation fee and if needed, seems like some community members here are willing to share.

I think VCDS is way more polished and to be honest, I haven't had a need for VCP other than to set the one parameter for TJA.

[peshs4]

I have obdeleven for everything worse I only got the vcp for TJA....I am pretty sure vcp can do all other things I just can’t find the same level of support or knowledge other then TJA

ok, well I will be pinging you eventually in hopes to borrow your cable. In addition to the deposit and shipping, I'll definitely pay a fee to you. It's certainly cheaper than buying the cable. I'm kind of hoping someone will figure out the screen retraction issue we have in the states before asking you though.

Thanks

[peshs4]

There is. I fed and if you get in the list before it returns to me you only pay shipping to the next destination...the deposit is $100 and you get that back....

Any chance you're willing to send it to Aus? I'm hoping to also enable traffic jam on my 2017 rs3

[peshs4]

I will send it no prob but you may have to pay skittle extra in shipping back and fourth through the states average has been $15 one user had it sent to Canada but he paid the extra $10 other then that post office kinda deals with it so I don’t really care where it goes.,.actuall adds to the awesomeness of this store if it goes to you..,.send me a dm and I will put you on the list..,

This is getting epic!

I’m willing to send mine too - but I’d ask the deposit as the retail price of the cable - that way if it doesn’t come back, I’m not out anything. I’m near Tampa, FL so obviously - can help people here.

[thejerseydon]

I'm in to give this a go DM me with details on how I can reserve the cable. Great job to all started this and provided there valuable time and money!

[SolarRS3]

Finally got around to install it (thanks pesh for the cable). Be wary my laptop is old as sin and it was really hard to make vcp work. TJA works but only when there is a car detected in front with radar and works better when in multi lane traffic it seems (kept loosing the lane assist).

[theskunk]

I just flashed mine, and it’s doing something strange. It enables the lane assist below 38 mph however, it’s still request steering input every 10 seconds or so. I have the revision a camera hardware, with the revision H camera software. Any of the others who have enabled this, do you see any type of annunciation in the dash panel indicating that traffic jam assist is enabled? Or does it simply Hold lady guidance below 38 mph?

Yeah from what I've experienced you can enable the lane assist at any speeds and it'll keep you in the lane granted that the lanes are clearly visible. The steering input request is normal. There's no indication that the lane assist is on besides it showing 2 green lines/lanes on the dash. For the traffic jam assist it works as long as you're above the certain speed and both lines/lanes are showing green on the dash.

[stanglife]

Yes, still need to touch the wheel.

Don't forget to enable and set the lane assist to early.

[NAUDI RS3]

I just recently attempted this and TJA doesn't seem to work. I have a 2019 RS3 with the L camera. I tried flashing all the different ZDC files with no luck. The H file doesn't even have the option for Traffic_Jam_Assist.
I was able to get the lane assist set to Early in the A5 module.

Am I do something wrong or forgetting some settings?

I think I figured it out and will post the details I found below.

TJA only works for me when there is a car in front and below 38 mph

TJA will also shut off if traffic stops completely and I am in the middle of a curve section of highway

[19AudiQ3Prestig]

Any guidance on how I can check if my car has the hardware and software to be able to have TJA activated? I tried activating it via the VCTool program but it just keeps saying feature not accessible or feature not available. I have a 2019 Audi Q3 Prestige S-Line.

[Woobachuckie]

Had no clue this was a thing and now I want. I'm assuming if the guy still codes it, it will work for a 2019 RS3?

Just sent you a private message. Would love to know how you got the lane assist settings to show.

[noseyp]

Would love to know how you got the lane assist settings to show.

Not traffic jam assist but if you just want euro lane keep assist (early setting so it stays centered) you can do with VCDS via code below. Probably the best vcds "mod" I've found.

Lane Assist Early (set via menu)
Module: A5 - Front Sensors Driver Assistance
long coding helper
Byte 14 - bit 5 - 7 Set to: point_of_intervention,early (setting via menu)
**NOTE** i had to go into lane assist via mmi and manually set it to early, even though the value is set to early

[19AudiQ3Prestig]

And that would work on an F3 style Q3? I have that setting already and this is the only thing I still see is
Lane departure warning information
Vibration warning
Not sure why it rotated the pic?

Is yours still available? Or is anyone’s VCP cable available?

I believe you need this + the VCP flash for TJA to work. I remember flashing someone the TJA setting but not enabling "Early" and it wouldn't work for them.

Hmm makes sense that it would stop if you're going faster than a traffic jam would allow.

Not sure about the curved section of highway... maybe a safety setting? I would think that on a curved section of highway you might want to be a little bit more cautious about having automatic steering/cruise.

[skinnyD]

Will this VCP mod work for an 8Y RS3.

Also does lane keeping assist need to be operational for TJA to work.

I’ve tried activating LKA with OBD11 with no luck
