So leaving aside personal opinions about its utility, has anyone heard of this being done or seen it documented online? I've read about successful retrofits on a few similar vehicles:
Land Rover/Range Rover:

Porsche Cayenne:
Doesn't seem too complicated. Imagine one of these components breaking, the sensor being smashed in an accident, etc. To get the system back online, much of the same work would have to be done.
Looks like to install ACC on a cruiser that did not come with it from the factory, you'd need three main components: the sensor (and a grill?), the computer, and the steering wheel buttons. Then it is a matter of possibly programming components and (most importantly) calibration. However I have not found evidence on the internet that anyone has ever done this. As I slowly start to shop for these vehicles, it would be freeing to not have to squint at the steering wheel buttons in ad listings.
Land Rover/Range Rover:
ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control – Retrofit Discovery 4
Here you will find a description of how we have successfully retrofitted and activated Adaptive Speed Control (ACC) - a speed/distance control function supported by the front radar - in a Land Rover Discovery. The vehicle version under consideration is an LR L319 Discovery 4 (2012-2016 only)
