I do 8-hour highway drives on a RURAL open highway often and think the hands-off alarms are annoying yet important! My Audi gives me 45 seconds as well as other brands. Is there any way to trick the wheel into thinking you are on the wheel? I hate to bring this up as it is all about safety. The technology on the new Highway Assist on the G60 is very similar (Same cameras I believe) but instead watches your iris in the eye. Also, they may have GPS which gives you Level 2. The current DAP on the BMW that I have is fantastic (Hats off to BMW for the great technology that supersedes Audi currently).

On my 8-hour RURAL I-80 highway drive (2 lanes E and W) It would be nice to have a workaround or something similar to Highway Assist.

I asked about this device a while ago and got no response. Looks like it might do as you request...

Thanks for the link. I ordered it and will let you know if it works. I am not sure where it plugs into for power.

I have the emulator and looking for someone to help me install it (Might be tough to get a shop to do it). The video that shows the G series looks slightly different on the wheel than my 530. Is it that simple to just pop off the cover on the wheel and plug it in? Has anyone tried this on a newer 5 series?

You can position your leg in such a way that it is lightly touching the wheel or lightly hold on to it with a couple of fingers.

That’s what I do, just put my knee on the wheel and it does the 300km highway without an issue.

It’s surprisingly capable
