Cruise Control fitting guide

then you have to do the activation code in the engine module.

I notice from your guide the number you input was '11463' is that a generic number, or if mine will be different how will I find the activation code I need?

I got that from the rosstech site and i believe its generic.

Talking to a complete novice here, can you add a link?

I got the code from here and also confirmed with a couple of other forum people that had done the install

Yup, thats the page I tried to link, but it didn't work.

I'm a bit baffled mate, I am getting the cc coded today but to save a wasted journey I thought I would just confirm which module I have, a quick check and the part number ends with BC, cross checking on Ross Tech and this shows its for a midline, but mine has the highline fitted......

Also what model year is your Caddy?  My car is an 07 so do you think the diagnostic wire will be on it?  I know I can check but it would mean taking off the wheel again and I haven't got the time.

Cheers, Lee.

So I paid Martin (Gizmo68) a visit today for the necessary coding, but left there slightly despondent (to begin with)!  As I mentioned in the previous post after checking the part number for my control module I was baffled to find it is listed as a midline, when I have the highline MFD.   Anyway, coding was done, first piece of good news, it has got the diagnostic cable fitted, codes were excepted so we took it for a run.........no CC??  Went back and tried again and realised the coding was wrong, input the correct ones and went out again, still no CC, went back and decided to have a search on the Ross Tech site for anything we missed then Martin found the following:

1K0-953-549-BC    Type 2    SW 0070    Midline    Yes    -    #1

Above is the part number for my control module and the '#1' at the end means that CC can not be retro fitted!!    Bear in mind there are about 40 different variations and mine is the only one that doesn't work.......

Anyway,  we decided to leave the coding in place in anticipation of me sourcing an new controller.  On the drive home I turned on the CC for some reason at which point the light illuminated on the dash board and hey presto, I now have CC?????????????

Very baffled, but not complaining, I will still keep an eye out for a new control module though as mine definitely doesn't support a MFSW.

Thats odd about the #1 designation... I must admit i'd never noticed that but also then odd that its decided to work...

Sorry for the late reply.. been at work but as you found out you do have the diagnostics wire... My understanding is that its already on any car after 06.

Also re midline / highline... I dont think that relates to if you have a highline dash or not... Its just the 3 grades of steering control module.

I have fitted cruise control to 2 cars with the BC controller
1st didn't work ( 638 SW 0070 )
2nd worked ( 035 SW 0070 )

I thought so??  No worries about the late reply, I wasn't expecting you to be at my beck and call.......   I see what you mean about the low/mid/highline, mine is a midline as it doesn't have a MFSW.

1st didn't work ( 638 SW 0070 )
2nd worked ( 035 SW 0070 )

Interesting, what significance does the '638' and '035' number have, I can't seem to find them codes in Ross Tech wiki?

Many thanks for the time spent today, especially now as I have the desired result, enjoy the black stuff!

638 & 035 or 036 on your one is the Hardware version

so low hardware works maybe????

this is mine, does this mean i would need to change the control module to get cruise control fitted?/

Based on Eddie's observations I would think probably yes.

Yours will be ok as it ends AF the problem one ends BC
