Adaptive Cruise Control in 2019 Premium plus?
It looks like Audi is including the hardware for adaptive cruise control in the quattro preimum plus for 2019. Does anyone know if it will be possible to turn that on the way lane assist can be turned on with odbeleven for the premium plus?

Correct which is why I mentioned that it looks like they are including the hardware on the quattro premium plus, not just Prestige I am basing this on the pictures seen on audi's website .

It could just be that they’re including the housing to make the models look more consistent amongst each other and to cut down on cost (i.e. not having two separate parts for that part of the front bumper). I would imagine they don’t include the actual radars behind the housings. You may want to confirm that first.

I'm sure that this is a bug in the 2019 configurator, there is no way Audi will install (more or less) expensive hardware but don't include the feature being enabled at sale. The radar is actually the ball shaped part, there is no cover over the radar unit.

Except the matrix lights not being enabled is due to a legal issue. People are buying the car (and presumably paying for that feature in some way or another) with the assumption that the feature will be enabled at a later date. I highly doubt Audi is going to include the (very expensive) hardware necessary for ACC in cars that aren’t supposed to have it and lock it behind software. Especially when I’m sure they know software blocks can be overcome.

...Because I can't even get my dealer to update my MMI to the latest version unless I can describe my "issue" a very specific way, and then personally direct the to a specfic TSB # that contains a verbatim description of my "symptoms" and calls for a software update as the warranty fix.
This isn't Tesla. I wouldn't count on a thing post-sale. If anything they are going to take away features, a la the recent feature-removing updates to the Audi Connect (now "MyAudi") app or the soon-to-be-gone Google Maps Satellite imagery on the nav.
