This still begs the question whether the vehicles equipped with the camera have city enabled or not.
I have asked my dealer! Wish me luck!!

..and IF not is it a feature, does anyone know if it can be enabled through coding / FW upgrades?

I’d feel the same way about an S5 without a sunroof!

While my car has the camera (for the Automatic high beam assist?), I don't have the Pre Sense City/Front warning point settings in the MMI. I thus suspect that it's not enabled.

I suspect that the Camera/FW used for high beam assist is also part of the setup required for pre sense city

What I'm still trying to figure out is if it's just a coding thing or requires other hardware such as a specialized ECU.

Do you really want Pre Sense City?

Absolutely. If it turns out to be ineffective with false positives, and it can be coded in, it can be coded back out
Maybe I'd be comfortable knowing that my wife is a little safer. She's had a few close calls that something like city would have assisted with.....

It would also be very useful for those who dislike it to be able to know how to disable it permanently

People like Kufatec have no information about it (presumably because it's standard pretty much everywhere?).

Then you would probably want enable to Active Lane Assist!

Ah so you think that enables pre sense city? That would make sense...although I think there are builds without lane assist (no stalk) but do have pre sense city.

BUT with no stalk to enable/disable lane assist that is a real problem!

No, it's just a difference feature you might want.

I think that's a dangerous thing to enable without having the stalk.
