I have an IDS as well, but it's beginning to sound like more than I want to get in to.
At least in the near future.
I might pick up a few things that may go "discontinued" at some time in the future like the harness, pins and brackets to put away in case I decide to give it a go at a later date....

Again, just curious...which of these controls the braking if the gap closes to quickly?

I've got IDS, I've been a diesel technician part time for roughly 6 years. I picked up the trade while pursuing my bachelors degree.
To summarize progress thus far:
1. I've programmed from an AB and calibrated the CCM
2. Enabled ACC in the BCM
3. Enabled collision warning and HUD in the IPC.
The ACC system is still not active yet because of (2) modules:
1. The steering controls(?) control module (SCCM) recognizes the new switch on the wheel and has thrown a communication fault. Pressing the on/off button does not produce a response on the IPC yet.
2. The ABS module appears to need a change in the instructions to enable the automatic braking function. The pigtail leading into the module has the HS CAN II wires ran, as well as a fuse in place for the automatic braking which I why I am confident the fix is in the programming.
The modules that I am certain are involved with ACC are the following:
CCM, ABS, SCCM, IPC, BCM and PCM.
There may be more, but this is what I've seen so far. More to come soon.

Also IDS is limited to vehicle vin# options, if you skip the auto recognize portion and manually enter the vin# of a truck that came with adaptive CC you might just get into other options. Other than that Forscan is probably your best bet.

Some people don't see the value proposition associated with this system. I find the $557 invested worth the convenience. I solve technical problems for a living, so I also enjoy the challenges associated with this addition.

Don't be scared
Let's be clear - this addition is possible. ABS Module - It will brake assist up to 0.3 x acceleration due to gravity.
SCCM= Steering Column Control Module.

That's the plan for this week. I will download FORScan and change the hexadecimal code for my individual VIN in place of the As-built VIN that I used.
I paid to play with this technology the easy way when I bought my Platinum. I'm just curious how much your into this project (cost of parts)? I'm sure the others that may think about this would want to know too.
Good job so far. Not sure I would want to be the trail blazer on this project.

$557 - The sensor was $344 alone.

As soon as I get my Bluetooth dongle, hill decent will be up and running. Woudl be already if I hadn't tried for the wifi MX adapter first....
Somewhere in the distant future, 360 camera might be added. But that one looks like a very big PITA (looks like a different main dash harness)....
I also posted up a service manual excerpt on your thread on the ecoboost forum. Not sure if it will help, but couldn't hurt...

This system rivals auto start/stop for the most useless unneeded thing to have on the vehicle. Non the less, I get the intrigue of the challenge.
There is a guy on a Raptor forum that added ambient lighting to his 2014 total OEM. Quite the process but he got into the research problem solving and satisfaction of completing the job.

More good news from yesterday. We're almost there. I had to learn a crash course on hexadecimal and FORScan last night.
I ran an AB on the SCCM and it accepted it without changing the hexadecimal code (there is not a series of VIN hexadecimal lines like the BCM has).
I found out there are a few lines in the CCM data that require the VIN. With FORScan, I went into the hexadecimal code after downloading an AB and input my hexadecimal VIN in the CCM module. It accepted the VIN.
IPC now shows the ACC picture. The system is still not operational because there are 3 communication codes remaining between the CCM and ABS. All other modules have passed the self test.

My wife has this on her 16 Platinum Explorer. I've used it and I don't like it because it starts slowing you down WAY back from the car in front of you...about 5 car lengths or so. If you're on a multi-lane interstate, you have a hell of a time trying to maintain a decent flow, as when you get slowed down like this, others cars scurry ahead of you before you have time to (safely) change lanes and continue passing the slow turtles. LOL
Is there a way to adjust the radar to put you closer (to the car in front of you) before the auto cruise slows you down?

Shoutout to livinitup. I made all the changes except for the ABS module, that one had me stumped. I sent him my AB data for my ABS module and he replied back and had me change one number. The guy is a wizard.
Took it for a drive tonight. Works like a charm.
