Adding Lane Assist

[CaptainMike]

There is a rather lengthy 2 year old thread on the 5th Gen forum that discusses adding the Safety Group features like adaptive cruise, collision warning, lane assist , etc after the vehicle is built/sold. In it there's mention that the lane assist feature can be added simply via AlphaOBD, (@Jimmy07 referenced it) can someone confirm or deny this? Has anyone done this successfully and would there be any other components needed? I now see this would be very useful for driving those long stretches down an interstate. TIA.

Thank you, I'll check into it. Somehow I figured it wouldn't be that easy!
