Title: Retro-fitting Cruise Control
Post by: dom on 22 December 2013, 21:06

I know that to retro-fit cruise you need the stalk and loom and then it to be activated. Does anyone know if this is the only loom that you need?

It's described as a partial loom, but I'm sure I've read somewhere that this is all that's needed. Can anyone confirm?

Cheers, I had a feeling that was the case :afro:

VW Teeside sell a full kit including stalk for about £90, that sound about right?

just buy vagcom you tight git :grin: login 11463 boom done.

i dont think vw/tps supply the ecu wires as they're part of the original loom, it's easy enough to make one up though. Google for a guide!
