DIY fit. Bit awkward but don't need any technical ability really.  £250 with next day delivery I think.

Invaluable in my personal opinion.  Keep a constant eye on pressures, temps and vital engine info.  Maybe more pertinent to highly tuned motors.

@RetroRaz Tried the adaptation?

Very true Tfsi_Mike these cars are prone to failure  :signLOL: My tt was a beast and never let me down from the 50k miles of driving her hard even after the re map and mods whilst depreciating in value  :signLOL:

You could still try what mike did. Do the channel 0 reset with vcds and then turn the car off. Leave for half an hour for it to completely power down the clusters and then try accessing using stalk.

Hi Retroraz

I'm interested in getting cruise control fitted to my 2005 MK5 Golf GTi. The idea only came into my head recently when I drove down to the Jurassic coast and back on a day trip last week. 6 hours driving can get a little tiring lol.......

I saw this posting too late unfortunately but thought I would post a message. Anyway I'm based in Leighton Buzzard and can travel if necessary. Let me know whats possible  :happy2:

Best regards
George

Hi Retroraz - I'm new around here, and picking up my Pirelli next week hopefully.  I'm very interested in having cruise fitted; no idea where you're based though? I'm leeds but spend time in Suffolk and Surrey too.

Hi George.

Chances are that on a 2005 model you may need the additional wire going to the steering wheel control module. Some cars have them already. Best way to check is if your car has a standard roof aeriel then you have the newer wiring scheme and won't need the wire.

Next time im up in midlands is September for a few days.

Let me know if that suits you
