Retro fitting cruise control please help :-/

[Little Red]

Hi I've rang around a few places with regards to getting cruise control fitted on my car. Three places have said they will do it (they are VAG places not just any old garage) prices ranged from £2-300 but so worth it as I do 180 miles a day and another genius scheme has been out in place along the m6 to introduce more of those horrid permanent average speed cameras I don't speed but at 4am sometimes it's easy to wander slightly over or under the 50mph current speed so I wanna just cover my ass

Anyhow the nearest garage recently rang and said that actually they can no longer get the parts required from seat to do the job ! Does anyone have any recommendations in where to go, or can tell me the parts I need so I can buy them then just send them to the garage to fit?

I've found a site (kufatec) and as far as I know I only need the stalk? But it's asking me if I have the multifunction display or not?!

Does my 2006 facelift FR have a multi function display or not? (What is that?!)

Sorry so many questions!!

Hello.

I fitted it to mine recently. Bought from Kufatec!

And I was also stuck on your question about multi function display but once I tell you what it means you'll kick yourself laughing in embarrassment haha. Basically it means does your car have the thing that tells you MPG, trip, average speed, etc. The right hand stalk with the two buttons on the end

Which yours does as it's the FR version, my sport does etc etc

Fitting was kind of easy, if not a bit fiddly. I've got loads of pics of me doing it and I followed a strange guide

Thanks dann! Funnily enough I said to my bf I wonder if that's what it was, but I thought that stalk was the other side?! Haha shows how forgetful I am!! Right that's ace sooo glad u used the same place too thanks so much for the reply! So is the stalk the only thing I need then ? Thanks soooo much

Had a look at the link - is it your thread on this forum as well you have documented it on? If I need to know anything else I will defo come bothering you thanks again

Just looked at your thread and the work you have put into your car and would like to say "Well Done" mate.

Love the fact you have kept it looking standard. I would love cruise on my FR. It does look a bit fiddly stripping the dash out and taking the wheel off etc.

If you ever get the time any chance of a full detailed step by step write up on here. I know these take some time in doing.

Also do you have a link for the kit that you used. Thanks

Edit.

Was it this one.

I had cruise retrofitted to my MK4 1.8t FR by a Seat dealer. All they did was fit the stalk and enable it with their software (VCDS)

My seat dealer said they wouldn't retrofit anything
Doubt they'd be able too anyway if my local vag place can't get the seat parts off them. Couldn't even get them from sere either
Gonna try this other stalk now anyway as it's been fitted successfully before just so long as this vag place discounts me for sourcing and buying the part myself lol

Thanks buddy, love to hear comments like that means a lot

That's the one I bought. It did take around a month to come though

 

[Badger]

Dan, your DIY skills and car are very good, well done

Little Red, if you do go for this and you don't have VCDS, give me a shout and I'll activate it for you (free) as you're local!

Aww thanks badger that's really nice of you - I'll let u know if I can't get that part sorted

...

A month to arrive? Eeeek best get ordering then!!

 

[Badger]

Mine arrived in 10 days when I ordered mine. The instructions are in German but Dan's guide pretty much sumarises the install

It's not hard, just fiddly when trying to get to the plug at the bulk head.

 

[Little Red]

Whooo ordered!
Best not take a month with £7.50 postage charge on top lol, and I gotta work out his he manages to pass the paypal fees back to the buyer lol cheeky sod haha but can't complain it's the only place I can get it from

I think I might be convincing my bf to do the work then as I won't be able to fit in any foot wells soon lol plus I'm dangerous with wires!!

 

[dann2707]

You need small girly hands to do the installation though, that's where i'm lucky haha

If he does the job stand over him with your phone and take plenty of photos for us guys on here.

Dan makes it look easy but having done most things on cars I have never taken off a steering wheel. Gives me the shivers thinking about pulling the bugger off without damaging the rim.

Cruise was a £165 dealer option when I bought the car back in 2008. I thought about it but did not think I would use it, bloody fool I am.

 

[dann2707]

I might make it look easy but it wasn't haha.

I followed this guys "guide" on here. I can't emphasise enough that snorting cocaine before writing a guide isn't the greatest of things to do haha. You'll understand when you see how it's written. Nice of him to do it though!!

Nath are you saying that the wiring was already there ?
