Adaptive cruise

I had a quick drive around last night and noticed that ACC on the car popped up with "Acc not available"... I did quick scan on VCDS which resulted in following.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Try cleaning the lens behind the radiator grille. Sometimes that's all it needs.

Pass. I'd suspect that you'd be able to get to it either from above with the bonnet latch cover removed of from below with the under engine panel off.

You may also want to check the lense cover is not damaged, I recall this was the reason for mine giving an acc error.

As luck would have it Audi accidentally ordered the radar plate when I asked for just the grill. So I can shed a little light on your cable. It's attached to the plate, what it's for I am unsure but would imagine it's related to the heating of the plate or something?

So get the car on a lift or squeeze under it and try to figure out the location for the plug. Probably quite close as the cable isn't very long.
