2020 GLS 450 - Can you upgrade to adaptive cruise control?

As title states, we have a 2020 GLS 450 and I wanted to see if it's possible to upgrade to have adaptive cruise control. We bought this used and it wasn't an installed option from the factory. In my search, I found the website below out of the UK that may provide the parts and help, but just wanted to see if this is something that anyone here has done and if it's a reasonable upgrade or too much work/cost. Doesn't seem so from the link below. Thanks.

I would just get the kit from Raj. It'll be complete and the correct parts for your vin.

I don't think I'd start the job, or send it to a shop if I wasn't confident that the parts were correct and complete.

I would have thought it would be more expensive. Thanks for the link.

Get your headlights recoded to Euro spec too.

it won't be the full semi auonomous driving with long range radar and auto steering, codes 233 and 266, but it will get the equivilent of code 239 Distronic Pro, which is still full speed adaptive cruise. A few people here have done it with good results.

I just posted about getting mine done by Max from Elebest in the post below. Am getting a few other mods/themes this morning too. RJ is also a great option and at least no clown shows by them with good reputation. Good luck
