Hill Hold Assist retrofit?
« on: February 23, 2012, 12:06:55 am »
As per the title can you get the Hill Hold Assist function retrofitted?

Is it just some programming or is it some hardware too?

My car is an 07 DSG Edition 30 and does't seem to have it (unless I'm being stoopid!).

I wouldn't bother, it's a PITA and makes you look like you can't do a hill start!! Iv'e heard it can be adjusted with VCDS so I'll be looking into that.

I had it on the S3 and have it on the A4 and love it.

Yeah, I had it on my previous car, a BMW Z4 Coupe, which wasn't even an automatic and I thought it was great.

I'd have thought the DSG Edition 30 would have had it as standard but I guess not...

Trying to get my car into the garage (drive on a slight incline) slowly is a nightmare!! I certainly wouldn't bother retrofitting!!

I wouldn't have thought so. Didn't have it on my 57 Plate R32 and certainly didn't ever felt it needed it......

Me neither, if your on a hill and release the brake then the DSG box engages anyway. (as you know)  :happy2:

Where i use it is to hold the car at junctions, it prevents 'creep' if you don't have your foot on the brake.
