I am but I'm afraid I did it on the first day of driving so I cannot compare to stock. I may try changing back for a few days though

So what does this brake assist actually do apart from the obvious?

just makes the brakes more sensitive or require less pedal. i find the pedal far to long as standard

Just tried this and it does make a difference. The overall feel and sponginess is still pants but they do feel a bit sharper. I think I'll stick with this setting. Interestingly a couple of channels up there is something called 'brake boost'. Anyone know what this does? I'm not brave enough to mess with it without knowing what value does what..

Is that not emergency brake assist or something?

No idea buyout certainly seemed changeable. Only by changing the numerical value though. There's no helper / description.

I'm sure I looked at brake boost on mine yesterday and it was set to enabled already....
