You need both stalks and possibly the steering slip ring. kits are available for 2010 cars onward and if your dealer won't quote for it take your hard earned cash elsewhere as they are being lazy. don't be fobbed off by them.

It's more expensive on later mk6's as they replace both stalks, i assume it's all one unit but when i had mine retrofitted at the stealers it was only £170, mines a march 2010.

The steering wheels has to come off as does the couling, the stalks are replced and then coded.
was yours the older single stalk version then? Always ment to do mine.

Iirc later cars the stalks are all one and something like the slip ring also gets replaced.
I know I have asked this question before and the differences and what was needed were pointed out.

Yeah mine only needed the indicator stalk changing, i was one of the lucky ones as it was cheaper than factory fit! :cool:
I think yours may have came over on the same boat
Thanks iirc there both were week 6 or 7 2010

I am stunned that to gain cruise control, only a stalk is required.  I thought a module of some kind would be required at least

Yup! And if you had an earlier car like myself it was £250 from the factory or £185 dealer fit! :shocked: I got a little discount on it as well!  :cool:

On older versions yes.
At the end of the day its canbus as long as the program is there and the option enabled it would work.
A lot of things work like that nowadays. Why have loads of versions of a program or electronic circuits.
Make them all the same (bulk is cheaper) plug in the acc and enable that part of the program. Thats the joy of a digital age and communication system busses. Its how alot of electronic devices now are designed.

Must admit, this will make me think about retro-fitting cruise.  I had it onmy last MK6 GT.
On a recent visit to Germany, I really missed not having it.

Must admit, I would only let the stealers fit it though.
