I would do some searching in the forums for a 2020 parts list.

I'll continue to keep an eye out, I haven't seen anyone try it yet so I may just have to bite the bullet.

Hi,
Yeah it was all new parts. I used the parts list posted earlier but have included screenshots of what I bought. Total cost was about $1500 CDN for parts. I then bought the VXDiag VCX Nano (https://vxdiagshop.com/) to use with Forscan and FJDS.
For the ABS module programming, I bought a two day license for FJDS to do it for $50. Basically do the PMI in FJDS to download the current config, unplug the old ABS module and then plug in the new one and transfer. Its pretty well layed out when doing it in FJDS. The connector for the ABS module is a bit tricky. You need to pull up on a gray plastic slider and then lift a handle on the module to release the connector.

Thank you for posting your parts list. That covered my earlier questions about supercedced parts still working for the conversion. And if the newer part for the standalone ABS control module would work so buying the entire ABS unit was no longer needed. Ex earlier in this thread lists ABS JL3Z-2C215-B but you used JL3Z-2C219-C (quite different).
What type of cable protocol is requrired for FJDS? The Forscan compatible OBDLink Ex does not work?
From what you saw in FJDS does it seem possible to reprogram an ABS module, for example if I get one from a wrecked truck that has ACC?

Yeah it is a 2018. For FJDS, it needs to be a J2534 compatible device which I don't think the ODBLink EX is but I could be wrong.
In FJDS, I think it would possible to reprogram the module. You basically leave the old one plugged in, do the PMI in FJDS and it asks you to plug in the new one you are transferring do and copies over the installation.

Thx for the feedback on likely programming a used module. Will work on scouring parts yards then.
A new module is required because the current module supports ABS functionality, but not applying brakes to come to a stop, and release again? I thought our trucks have hill stop assist so I am really confused as to why all trucks would not use the same module...
After driving with it for a few days are you happy with the conversion? Overall the ACC works well?

Okay, I have a J2534 cable for Toyotas so hopefully that would work.

Overall very happy with the ACC. I think it comes down to how much highway and stop and go traffic you are in. The only thing I would say is that it doesn’t brake soon enough for my liking when coming up to a stopped car. Part of this is that I tend to coast in from a long ways out if I notice traffic is stopped. But overall really happy with it.

Iggy this is how mine is mounted. I checked it with a level and it was level. LIVINITUP suggest we try swapping the CCM out and see? Perhaps it could be faulty from the factory? It reads the cars because I get the Red,Green, & Yellow distance when following. I had pre collision set to hi and it had went off a few times. Who knows. We all are stumped!

I’m interested in doing this to my truck.. 2018 with auto high beams and rain sensing wipers but don’t have lane keeping (interested in adding that as well)
I saw the updated parts list, seems like a pretty straightforward install. Is it that simple?
How do you calibrate/program the IDS? Everything else seems like you reprogram it through Forscan

This thread has good step by step instructions earlier which I would refer to. It is outlined pretty well there on the steps required.
