Genuine Parts, Seamless Fit

Every component we installed was factory-original — from the radar sensor to the new steering wheel buttons. No off-brand modules, no messy wiring. We routed everything through factory channels, clipped in behind genuine trim, and coded it all to the vehicle’s software. The result? It behaves just like it left the factory with ACC already fitted.

Tested, Configured, and Verified

Before fitting anything, we carried out a full diagnostic check using ODIS and VCP to confirm module compatibility. Once installed, we aligned the radar, activated the control profiles, adapted the software, and verified CANBUS communication across all relevant modules. Adaptive cruise now works across all speed ranges — and yes, it brakes as smoothly as it accelerates.

Why Crafter ACC Is a Game-Changer

This isn’t just cruise control that holds a speed — it’s a smarter system that reads the road ahead. Ideal for fleet drivers, couriers, or anyone doing regular motorway hauls, the system helps reduce fatigue, improve safety, and even save fuel. It works especially well with the Crafter’s auto gearbox, making stop-start traffic feel effortless.

Waiting Area While We Retrofit

This retrofit took around 2 hours — plenty of time to relax in our customer lounge with complimentary hot drinks, Wi-Fi, and a front-row view of the install bay. Prefer to stretch your legs? There are some great countryside walks nearby, or you can grab a bite in the village while we work on your van.

Why OEM Retrofits Need the Right Tools

It’s easy to underestimate how much goes into a retrofit like this — but it’s not just about bolting things on. We use dealership-grade tools like ODIS and VCDS, along with deep experience in vag retrofits and CAN gateway adaptations. Many features are buried behind SFD locks or require firmware matching — our job is to unlock them safely and cleanly.

We regularly welcome vans from all over the UK for vag retrofits like this — including customers from Coventry, Redditch, Leeds, Manchester, London, and Edinburgh. So if you’re planning a VW Crafter ACC retrofit installation, you’re in good company — and good hands. 🛠️🚐
