Update, I definitely have the trailer tow package. So I wouldn’t need 360 camera to add the Ford CoPilot Assist 2.0 that includes the ACC (per the build and price tool on Ford website).
Seems like maybe everything is there except the radar sensor, CCM, and steering wheel buttons???

***WARNING 13 GEN INFO LISTED! ***
This has been done on a 2016 F150 in the thread linked below, so I would imagine it's possible on 14 gen simply by following the same framework.
The As Built addresses and part numbers will be different, but it should be a DYI slam dunk if you have the budget and time for it.
Hi Everyone. I am new to this forum, not new to this industry.
1. I've programmed AB and calibrated the CCM
2. Enabled ACC in the BCM
3. Enabled collision warning and HUD in the IPC.
I found out there are a few lines in the CCM data that require the VIN.
I went into the hexadecimal code and input my hexadecimal VIN in the CCM module.
It accepted.
The modules that I am certain are involved with ACC are the following:
CCM, ABS, SCCM, IPC, BCM and PCM.
Shoutout to @Livnitup . I made all the changes except for the ABS module, that one had me stumped. He had me change one number. The guy is a wizard.
Took it for a drive tonight. Works like a charm.

Yes and no. Big disclaimer here:

You can repay this info by measuring your 2kw pro power on an oscilloscope and telling the internet if it's a true sine wave output. It's the greatest unsolved mystery of 2kWh Pro Power and you have it. I'm jealous.

I’m just kinda needing help with finding out exactly what parts I need and those part numbers. Not sure where to start as searching for “2021 F150 CCM” yields no results. And I’ve browsed fordparts.com also.
I can work with a dealer to help me find the parts but I need to be able to tell them what I’m looking for.
As far as the 2k Pro Onboard power, I don’t have a oscilloscope and pretty sure I can’t afford one lol.

I didn't know you could do the calibration outside of a dealer, even with Forscan, I thought you needed the giant mats the dealer has to put down. That's cool if you can do it all yourself.

Thank you. I have read over this write up before.

I really enjoy the adaptive options.
However, it is not always my preference.
I can't use it in the mountains. Cruising up the steep grades at 70 while the heavy truck traffic is stuck doing 25 confuses the system, at the curves the truck think I'm going to t-bone the slowly moving trucks and it slams on the brakes. It is marginally scary cruising 70 going into a curve (capably of 70 without issue) then having the brakes mashed. I've learned when to drive and when to allow the system to drive.
A recent 2.5ish hour road trip went well but there were several periods of bunched up traffic. I had cruse at 71 all day, speed limit is 70. I'd constantly speed up to pass the 60ish mph string, or adaptive would perfectly control my speed if I wanted to stay in the slower lane of traffic. It functions perfect, but the left hand mirror would suggest now is the time to speed up to 75 instead of slow to 60.
Speeding up is fine. It will resume itself once back to the set speed of course but to flow with traffic I had to keep kicking it off (brake tap) until I could find the gap to fit in to. This was typical in both directions. And on a weekday no less.
Generally speaking I prefer adaptive over regular cruise. Depending in the expense and effort required, it may be worth it (to me) to make an upgrade but I'm pretty confident in saying if I purchased a vehicle without it on purpose that I would not be installed the other system.
I can link you to past threads of how to install it if you care to read up on that. May give you an idea of what you'd have to do. Given you are a newer member asking the way you are -I don't know that you know what is involved.
