How to identify if an S3 has adaptive cruise control?
I am looking at used S3s and i'm wondering if there is a way to identify if a car has adaptive cruise control from pictures?

It will have a camera at the top of the windshield (triangular shaped at the top of the glass). Or if the cruise control stalk is visible, it will have a distance setting.

Thanks. It looks like it needs to have both of those things from what i am seeing. Both of the cars below look to have the camera thingy, but only one has a distance button on the cruise stalk.

If you look at the bottom of the grill, dead center, you may see on some cars (like the red one in the links) a small window where the radar lens sits. The red car shows it has it, but not the black car.

I don't think adaptive cruise uses the camera, but the radar unit instead. I believe the camera is for the lane keep system, among whatever else.
