Agree

Hope it gets sorted as it is useful even in the pre LCI model

This miraculously worked for me!

I disconnected the battery last night for 20 minutes and reinstalled. Did 100 mile round trip today and the difference was night and day. The system held its lanes incredibly well and even stayed locked in on slight bends going 80mph. If the car didn't make you put your hands on the wheel I almost would have trusted it to drive itself for most of trip on the straighter stretches of highway.

Unbelievable how much better the system is after such a simple solution. I did a deep dive into that German forum and many users in Europe replaced their whole Kafas systems, windshields, and other various electronic units in the car with virtually no improvement whereas the battery disconnect seemed to be a better solution than replacing hardware since I believe this is a software issue.

I was unsure how I felt about the car given this feature but after trying it today, definitely made me fall in love with the car again, I frequently go on roadtrips so this will be a lifesaver for fatigue on those longer boring stretches of roads. Thanks so much for the odd but effective solution.

Yes lane assist is perfectly useable on the pre LCI as long as you cater for its inadequacies.
Those in my experience are often choosing the exit lane of a motorway when in lane 1 , a nudge on the steering back to lane 1 is all that’s required to get it back but once you know that, you can predict it and be ready for it in those circumstances

Bad road markings can throw it off

I used it at night on the motorway and found it to work under those circumstances aswell

So yes perfectly useable.

The LCI does improve matters.

Even though I own a G32, i always look up the G30 solutions since the popularity of G32 is very low.

Anyway, i just came here to report that taking off the negative pole miraculously worked and I am damn pleased about it. My LKA would always let go off the lanes far too soon and far to quick. It would also only pick the lanes up after I keep the car perfectly straight for some time, making the whole thing useless.

After this fix LKA kept engaged for my whole highway trip of 300 kilometers. Such a delight, I love the system again.

Oh and it improved my parking assistant system too! Ow it recognizes parking spots again blazing fast whereas before it would not see the parking spaces so quick

Great that it is fixed
Technical curiosity though as to why this fixes it?!
