Default All speed dynamic radar cruise control

I brought my new 2016 ES350 last month and I love the car.
One feature I am missing is the all speed DRCC. In my car the cruise disengage at 25mph. I see the feature i am looking for is available in some other higher models and the Lexus technology video's says 'when your call is equipped with all speed DRCC'.
I would like to know if it's possible to add this feature in my 2016 ES by any means? I searched and couldn't find any other useful info.

I can't answer your question but maybe another member will chime in. Otherwise, welcome to CL and good luck with the new car.

Unfortunately, dealers will not assume responsibility and install options like DRCC. Dealers can't install options that need to be installed at the factory on the assembly line. It will consist of more than a software upgrade, and the hardware involved would be very expensive too. It is important to do your research when purchasing a car, and buy the car you really want.

As much as I'd like it to go down to 0 MPH, it stops at 25 MPH. I have a 2014 ES UL/ML with PCS. I use it all the time. I think Lexus doesn't want to put its best DCC into the "low-end" ES and saves it for the LS. No biggy to me since the ES is not a self-driving car and if I'm in traffic that slow, I ought to be driving my self. Annoying, it seems, but I can understand.

All speed DRCC is available on the GS as well. Not just the LS.

starting with the 2016 RX, not prior. OP, they can not even add back up camera lines
to models not built with them, no way they (or you) are going to add all speed to the
high speed versions.
