My Tahoe came with collision alert and lane assist but no acc as well.

Let me know if you find anything!

I would be interested as well... But we are missing the steering wheel distance "button" and probably some computer programming... Anything is possible, but "easily" accomplished is probably a different deal.

Worth a look anyhow! Let us know.

I think the acc and the crash collision button are the same button. The one on the left with two cars crashing eachother :)
Will take some pictures tomorrow if anything worth mentioning.

It is the same button, I have acc in my tahoe and that button sets the distance for both crash avoidance and acc.

According to the blog I think only the sensor or module is needed to be purchased ,rest of it needs to be programmed.

It does say in the blog that the button on the steering wheel are hard wired to BCM.
So I guess only thing to be hooked up is the sensor to the BCM which then send signal to ECM to reduce or increase the speed.

This is what's written in the blog

"The Adaptive Cruise Control distance sensor module contains both the radar sensor and the controller. The radar scans the road environment to detect targets within its specified field of view. The controller then makes throttle and/or brake commands to the Engine Control Module (ECM) and Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) for proper cruise speed adjustment."

The button on the steering wheel
"The Adaptive Cruise Control switches are momentary-type switches that are hard-wired to the BCM. Based on voltage variations, the BCM is able to communicate driver commands to the Adaptive Cruise Control module. The initial press of the gap switch recalls the current setting and activates the display. Subsequent presses of the gap switch will change the gap setting (near, medium or far). The DIC displays the driver-selected following gap. This gap setting also applies to the Forward Collision Alert system and will impact how early or late the collision alert system will warn the driver."

We need a expert on this topic because I'm not one ! One who knows the programming stuff in these cars
