Adding Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

[Rangeruser]

Has anyone had any luck with adding ACC after purchase? I've seen some threads on the Maverick and F-150 forums about it. Given that the new Ranger shares a lot of F-150 modules, I would hope that the programming values would be similar. For reference, I checked out a few parts that were listed as compatible with the Ranger. I found a Lariat vin that I was thinking of using in conjunction with the Motorcraft Service Manuals to verify the parts numbers.

So this looks like it might be a bit more difficult for us. I'm not entirely certain as to their functional differences, but there's a few different models of IPMA for the new Ranger. The biggest difference is that non Technology Package ones are marked as Collision Mitigation System N1WZ14G647BT vs Collision Mitigation System #2 N1WZ14G647BM. Both in the Ford parts store mention they do not include "assist" features.

One of the folks got their acc working with their more basic IPMA after swapping with an advanced one, but it's a toss up as to if that will work for here given there is only one CCM module and it specifically mentions being for collision mitigation system #2.

Now, the really crappy part is the the parts other than the ccm are super expensive lol. So it would even be very cost prohibitive to attempt a swap like that guy in the f-150 forums.

Not to mention that I don't think we can do a PMI on a part not meant for your VIN. I think FDRS checks beforehand to make sure it's right.

Oh well, I'll check back in a year to see if anyone has found out anything more.

Have you reached out to Jesseinfotainment on the F150gen14 forum? He might be able to help with this project. I am watching this thread cause i'd love to be able to get a base 24 ranger and add ACC and comma AI. It has been great on my XL single F150.

I did actually. He responded that it probably won't be possible under the new security architecture they use. Based on what I've read that also seems to be the case. Until someone cracks it I think we're stuck with what we got .

Jesse was assuming the new Rangers had TRON (canbus encryption). But since we have some 2024 Rangers using the Comma3x, we know they don't have TRON, so this should still be possible. Not sure if 2025 Ranger added TRON or not.
