BMW HOD Emulator - Traffic Jam Assist(TJA)
HOD Emulator Hand Off Detection Module for BMW F/G Series retrofit. The HOD (hand-off-detection Emulator) is useful in communicating with and responding to the automotive system.

Precautions
- 01. Before installation, please turn off the power and wait for 5 minutes. During installation, please do not open and close the door or operate the equipment on the vehicle.
- 02. The design of TJA is only applicable to the assistance in traffic jams. It is not really self driving. It is not suitable for high-speed and entering corners.
- 03. The TJA is set to be used at speeds not exceeding 60KM/H, although you can increase its maximum speed limit by encoding it and use it on general roads, we do not recommend that you do so.
- 04. TJA can only be started when there is a vehicle ahead.
- 05. When the front lane is not suitable or the width of the road is too narrow, it will sound an alarm and automatically turn off the auxiliary system, reminding you that you must take over the steering wheel.
- 06. Please do not enable TJA in heavy rain or foggy days.
-
07. Coding is necessary for using this product. If you do not have relevant software for coding or you know nothing about coding, we suggest you ask relevant professionals to assist in installation and coding.
- [The following is an example of an F Series]
- The TJA function is attached to the vehicle VO's 5AR code, which you must code for the following modules
- 1) FEM or BDC 2) KOMBI 3) ICM or SAS 4) EPS 5) SZL (ignore this if not applicable)
- In a faster way, you can code each module by modifying VO. However, if you have modified parameters before, they will be restored to default values. You need to modify them again.
- In a safer way, you can modify the parameters of each module step by step. In this way, the parameters you modified before will not be restored to the default value, but it will take you about 10 minutes more.
- 08. HOD emulator only simulates that the steering wheel is always touched and will not affect or interfere with the original driving camera assist system and automatic car following function.
- 09. If you already have this button on your steering wheel, please do not buy and install our product, because this will cause system conflict! If it is for research and testing purposes, you need to remove the HOD module in the steering wheel and connect the original connector to our simulator. Again: do not connect the two modules, the system will show a failure!
- 10. We recommend that you check and program the vehicle related modules to have a newer i-step version.
- 11. After installing the HOD Emulator, it may make the parking assistant unusable, because the parking assistant will require the hand to leave the steering wheel.
- 12. If the vehicle already has TJA / Lane Keep Assist / 5AR / 5AT / 5AU, just unplug the original HOD Sensor and install our HOD emulator, no need to change any FDL code.
