So guys I have noticed for the whole of today that when I try to put on my adaptive cruise it’s says “cruise control unavailable”
I have cleaned the black plastic strip at the front where the parking sensors are.
Incidentally I went into a small bollard yday in a car park around 2 mph. No major damage just 2 little scratches in the black plastic strip.
Could fault be related to this little knock ? Or is it one of these software glitches ?
Car is only 2 weeks old 😔 N

The Adaptive Cruise Control sensor is not in the bumper strip with the parking sensors. It is above that (and just above the number plate) recessed in the lower air intake towards the passenger side of the car

Could your "little knock" have damaged this area?

I mean you would find it very hard to identify any damage so I would be very surprised if this was the cause from the little knock. N

Is this on your SVR? The sensor is likely in a different position to the one Eaters has shown which is for the original RRS ACC sensor. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Yep on the SVR
Also on start up says Emergency Intelligent Braking not available
Maybe it’s same unit ?

Yep - would expect the anti-rear-ending to be based on the same forward facing radar sensor as the adaptive cruise (certainly was in my Skoda) 2014 BMW 530d Touring, 2006 BMW 650i, 2018 Mini Cooper S

Jet washed the car thouroughly but still the goddam cruise and intelligent emergency braking not working
.... trip to dealer I guess in the NY N

Where have you installed your dashcam?(you mentioned it in another thread) If behind the rear view mirror, try turning it off and see if that resolves it. I had to place mine to the left of the mirror mount rather than underneath it as it interfered with my ACC and high beam assist.

So I didn’t have the issue on install of the dash cam
But good point
I have installed mine to th right of the mirror in the hatched area N

Mine didn't interfere on install, only happened after a while. Went to the garage as I couldn't find the problem, they turned the dashcam off and everything worked again straight away.

Worth a try anyway.

Thanks Gerd..will try today ... is it the actual dashcam signal or the obstruction that was causing it ? N

It seemed it was the signal for some reason, as though the sensor in the windscreen is directed downward, therefore when mounted below something from the dashcam interferes with the signal. When mounted to the left and higher it seems as though it doesn't block the signal. Could be complete BS, just know it worked for me.

Disconnected it and sadly still comes up
Will give it a bit

Time just in case N
