Any way to spoof the radar cruise/pre-collision system?

PCS is all about the radar sensor. I have had it throw an error message in a snow/ice storm "PCS SYSTEM DISABLED" on the dash, if the sensor gets covered with snow. Wipe it off, error goes away (for a few minutes). Maybe the next iteration will have a sensor heater?

Yeah a sensor heater and a wiper would be great. Fog/ mist causes the same problem.

What year is your truck? 13?

Correct me if Im wrong, but I didn't think the PCS system on the 13-15s had anything to do with the radar sensor. I thought it worked by sensing panic stops, basically the time between throttle input and brake input. If you move your foot from throttle to gas pedal in less than some amount of time, that's a panic stop and it kicks in PCS and just applies full brake pressure and seatbelts.

And since you can disable radar cruise on the stalk, a new grill shouldn't affect either one of these systems. Unless I'm wrong about how the older PCS system works of course.

My 2008 has PCS with millimetre-wave radar sensor, and it engages emergency braking via the radar sensor. Also has adaptive cruise control.
