cruise control add on?

derek666 · 29-09-2007, 23:22

is it possiable to buy the cruise control stalk, then fit it, and then get someone to use vag-com to initialise it.

is it that simple to do this ?

or is there lots more parts involved?

cheers

EDIT:::

just found the stalk on the skoda superb page, under safety,

Å*koda Accessories

looking at this, it must just be a add on item.

Unusually no, I didn't touch a drop last night. Perhaps *that* explains my post

If you do a quick search for cruise control on the site, you'll find that one of the regulars' pops up with great regularity sorting out CC installation woes.

And he can do installs at quite sensible cost by arrangement (including on my Fabia)

The stalk will require fitting (steering wheel and airbag off) and the wiring fitted to the engine ECU and then it will have to be coded up. You will need VAG COM to enable the cruise setting in the engine ECU. Both myself and Stu (hinted at above) have a fair bit of experiance in the cruise control fitting game

That isn't a picture of the stalk you'll get with the Superb though - Sadly

Lummox · 30-09-2007, 18:31

No the Superb one will look the same as the Fabia/Octavia 1.

**VRStu** · 30-09-2007, 18:32

I'll wager it'll be on the new model though.

Lummox · 30-09-2007, 18:34

I would think it will be the same as the 3C Passat and have a seperate stalk for cruise.

Sorry, should have said...

VRStu often advises on cruise control and alternatively, he will fit for a reasonable cost; he did the one on my Fabia. Other cuise control advisors and fitters are available.

Better
