It can be done technically as mine has just had it fitted. 

I travel on motorways a lot and do use it.  It is great as you can speed up to over take and the relax your foot and it goes back to the set speed.  It especially good through road works with average speed checks.  The MK6 golf system works well and is simple to use.  The computer display works very well showing the speed you have set it and info about if it on or off.  It's very relaxing on long journey at night which we do to avoid the traffic, hence the xenons and cruise on my car.  It is only worth it if you will use it which I do and does depend on the sort of driving you do and where.  You can't use it on the M25 because of the traffic!

I agree it should be standard on a GT spec car!

However, my wife refuses to use it and says she does not like Gertrude (her pet name for the GTD) taking over! :laugh:

It is standard on the Golf GT, it should be standard on the GTD and GTI?

Hi...

I too have been after having cruise control fitted to my May 11 Golf GTD.
Ive been into VW Hull many times since I got the the car In May 11.
My car was built post March 11 and have been told the the modules changed but VW didn't inform anyone.
VW have been working on a fix and did release some parts but have since recalled them as its not working as it should.

Mine is 2012 car and had to have an extra module (what ever that is) fitted.  This works fine but perhaps not on a 2011 car?  Who knows.....
