Does this mean no ACC relocation needed for winch on LUX equipped models now?

[gryphon1231]

Trying to figure out winch/bumper selection for when my WT comes and just came across this. I''m not a fan of ACC and didn't plan on using it anyways.
Has anyone else tried setting up winch on a Bronco with LUX package and not using an ACC relocation bracket? BTW this is taken from the Ford Performance Parts URL.

"LUX Package Radar Adaptive Speed Control must be set to 'normal' using Featured settings. The radar bracket is behind the winch, a driver message "Adaptive Cruise Not Available Sensor Blocked" will be present. Customers desiring a Winch can change Cruise preferences Press Driver Assistance select Cruise Control select Normal."

That just disables the Advanced Cruise Control and turns it into Normal Cruise Control.

I get that, but was under the impression that the ACC module controlled the rest of the nanny features.

I guess my real question is, has Ford now officially changed their position and said if you want to install a winch with the LUX package just disable the ACC module.

No, there is a camera in the rear-view mirror/windshield that most of the other nanny features relies on (emergency braking), the ACC module is only for radar cruise, turn off the ACC and it gets ignored.
