Assist is definitely bound to the TCU not the headunit.
Big advantage to this circuit is that it would also retain voice control; if voice control was already activated in the CIC since you're not doing any recoding.
I sent the US distributor of their products an email to check on availability, chances are they don't even know about it yet. Potentially would be a good group buy opportunity to get some units over here.
I wouldn't be surprised though if it was vaporware.
