I think you're right, I had LKA before I added ACC. LKA is a shit product thought IMO, Not sure I'd flex even a single brain cell for it, unless you're end goal is lane centering.

Ive got a 22 pro with tow tech. both wiring areas in the cab have the wires. didn't check the wires behind bumper.

Befriend a dealer parts guy to check the descriptions of the bumper harnesses if you are unsure.

Did anyone have codes that were different than the listed changes needed? I’ve found several. Such as I have E instead of A, and your supposed to change A to B….

you find codes on livinitup and then figure out what is different about your own then figure out what to change it to ?
I also had like an 8 instead of a 1, but on livinitup there weren’t even 8s listed on a specific code.
Help greatly appreciated!

Yes, I remember a few of mine were already set to what the original DIY said to change them too, also on ones where they didn't make sense I was able to look at Livnitup's sheet and understand what was needed fairly easy. Always save your config, then with a little trial and error you will most likely get it. And if not just ask here.

Hi any helpful forum go'ers: Can someone view my C265? connector and help me identify if I have the correct wires already?

I believe I have them, but I am a bit colorblind, and going mainly on location.

Image taken with connector still seated.

"A bit colorblind" is unfortunate. I can't really be sure of your tiny arrows, grab a friend or family member to review your colors to be safe.

From a previous post

Once you get this female end released you can pull it out and bring it down to have just enough room to work on it. You pry and release the retainer like this

Once you have the retainer out you remove the pins with a pic in a very similar fashion to C134.
I left the factory female pins crimped on and simply inserted them into WAGO in-line Lever-Nuts

There's a decent chance that if you only have tow tech you won't have the wires run. I've been talking to another guy with a 23 pro with tow tech and he didn't have them. Might be worth the work to double check on everything

He didn't have pro power either, so you might be good. So far the Pros that have tow tech, max towing and pro power seem to have the wires, so it might just be a pro power thing

My 23 Pro has pro power and max tow, but no tow tech. I'm not prewired, not even at the IPMA connector.

I just want to say thank you to all that helped figure this out. Your posts, pics, and videos were of great help to me and I was able to successfully install ACC on my '23 Pro (w/ Tow Tech, Max Tow, and Pro Power). It was my first time dealing with FORScan which was a little intimidating, but with all the great info on here I was able to complete this without too many issues.

Okay, today I got the parts in, made sure I had wiring going to harness behind the bumper. Check.

installed everything, no big issues, took maybe 1 1/2 hours. check.

performed forscan changes without issues, it recognized CCM. check.

drove around performing calibration. only took about 10 minutes drive and stated successfully complete. check.

on first attempts, just says adaptive cruise not available. I went ahead and unplugged the 12 volt battery when i got home to maybe bypass the overnight waiting as some others did to get it all working. anyone else try this? ill go hook it back up and report back.

and for future reference my 22' pro had all the wiring and had Tow tech and pro power. no max tow.
