Cruise Control?
« on: April 26, 2011, 10:24:27 pm »
Looking to get cruise control fitted to car, as once I'm back to full fitness well reasonable fitness, I'll be doing alot of motorway driving & cruise control is a must.

Looking through some threads, I see I can get it all done at a dealers for £130 ish?
or
Few people on here can do it for cheaper?

If the second option, could it even be possible to do at whilst at inters? ie any people that can do it going to inters?

Cheers MJR

Sorry to jump on the band wagon, but I am also looking to get this fitted. Looks like I can get a genuine stalk from ebay, is that my best bet?

Who could code close to Chemsford/Braintree?

Sorry for been cheeky?

My GTI is a "05" reg, so I'll need the stalk & a control module? These hard to fit?

A couple of words of advice -

Some guides I have seen show taking apart the steering controller to remove it.  This is absolutely not the way to do it!

Ignore eBay for the stalk and buy the retrofit kit from a VW dealer, it will have warranty and will include the additional wire that early cars need.

Would it just be easier getting dealers to do it then?

it might well be easier, but then its going to cost you. If needs the wire they will add an extra £100 on top
