Yes, golfman asked me about the necessity of the sensor fusion cabling between A5 camera and ACC/front assist radar.
To be honest I don't have an answer for this. I frankly wired 'em because it was instructed so by kufatec and some ACC retrofit. I might have given it a thought for a second, but since it wasn't really even near the hardest part of the project I decided to go for it.
I can only speculate that if the A5 camera is not used to boost the range of the adaptive cruise, and if the car doesn't even have ACC (only front assist), is the cabling necessary? Is there some hard-coded function in these modules that if they detect each other via gateway there needs to be the "sensor fusion" direct connect CAN network between them or the result is fault.
Couple of images to explain the whole can bus extended thingy and what it has to say about SF.

The sensor fusion is used for front assist functions. It does not extend the acc range but both sensor complement each others information. For example pedestrian detection uses both camera and acc radar information.
Like written on those SSP inserts you attached, it is a separate bus to prevent other module communication to cause interference.

My bad, I meant to say it boosts the max speed that you can use ACC in, when both front radar and A5 camera are involved, if I remember correctly?
That's an interesting theory. Did you compare all the adaptations and coding?
Edit: In fact my car first demanded to take over the steering wheel in like 10 seconds? I don't remember what exactly did I do for it to change... Hmmm.

ACC radar type is the factor here. MRR is max 160/h and LRR is 210km/h. I’ve not read or heard that camera would increase the ACC max speed.
Autonomous braking uses the camera information together with radar.

So, WHAT WHAT WHAT!!! That's THE question!
I'll take time to check adaptations but first, I noticed you have enabled Lane assistant menu in 5F (no link with take off time) but that's why you should have some functions that aren't implemented in your car (side assist, curve assist...).
That's what I thought.
Those two lines are on my A5 adamap but not on your's.
So I think warning menu intensity is linked to the firmware.
I also noticed that you don't have enabled ACC menu on 5F???

Yes, I don't have ACC in my car.
I think I got some time today so I'm going to do some poking with vcds on this hands off intensity.

I don't think that's correct information.
I propose to read this one, this explains very well the whole driver assist scheme : https://vwts.ru/pps/pps_890253_vw_driver_assistance_systems_eng.pdf
Only thing the front camera adds is an advance warning up to 210km/h with MRR radars but it does not extend the radar range itself. The limitation of the radar is still 160km/h.
Quote :
Multifunctional Front Camera
This camera detects vehicles that may be invisible to the
front radar system by using an actual camera to monitor the
area in front of the vehicle.
The camera monitors the area in front of the vehicle when
stationary, preparing for a restart of the ACC system. It can
also detect lane markings for lane departure warning (Lane
Assist)
I really don't see how it could detect object farther away reliably if it's designed to monitor the front of the vehicle?

Ok, here's the adamap from my Tiguan's A5 module. Exactly the same camera. I have a little bit newer software 272 vs. 271 on Symb's camera.
Otherwise the same and I don't have warning intensity menu visible in driver assist menu in MIB. This is the same what pretty much everyone except Symb are reporting to be the case.

Elapsed Time: 00:07Thanks for this excellent document. After reading it, I say you're 100% right!
In Luxembourg, I often see Audi's and Touareg's bi-LRR radars. So, all standard VW cars come with MRR radars and ACC up to 160km/h... My Passat never went over 145km/h, so it's not a problem for me
I also read that despite many comment, the camera is really a grayscale one so that's limiting the lane assist. Touareg and Audi A6 A8 have color camera with great definition!!!
I go to the dealer shop right now and I'll change my Passat for an Audi! desillusion
No, I like my Passat, even in Charlie Chaplin's movies mode

Interesting that there is no mention about the dynamic light assist function and the part that camera plays in it. Of course it is different kind of image processing, but very very precisely working one. In dark, clear straight road it detects oncoming lights from around max 1000+ meters.
And oddly in some parts like the camera hardware presentation, the document seems somehow outdated? At least in the 3Q0 980 654 all the image processing is done in the same package.
Here is the second gen bosch camera brochure (3Q0 980 654).
It has color and 1280x960 imager size. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Measuring light intensity vs measuring object movement are two completely different things. The latter one will need stereo camera to reliably measure the movement. Single view camera is not very accurate as the view is monotonic.
Bosch’s brochure also only mentions forward collision warning. Sensor fusion is well explained in the document by the way.

I have added the extra wires from the A5 Camera to the 13 Front Radar and coded them in but not really sure what difference there is.
Done these codings...
Coding related to the ACC/front assist and A5 front camera:
Module 13 byte 3 bit 6 enable (front camera installed)
Module A5 byte 11 bit 2 enable (acc coded)
Module A5 byte 14 bit 0 enable (radar interface coded)
My 2018 polo only has front assist But yet before I added the 2 canbus wires and coded these in it made the Lane Assist Deactivate.
