Hi... My car is a march 2011 onwards, registered May 2011 and I've wanted cruise control fitted since getting it new. I've been into VW many times and been told NO not available as yet. They did do a kit about a year ago but had trouble with them so VW recalled them...
Any help getting this fitted would be great... I live in East Yorkshire so somewhere close would be great....

Thx

Apparently Matty there is 2 different sets of stalks. One set which each side is individual one for indicators and the other for wipers. My set is apparently both stalks joined so the whole unit has both.

you can tell which stalks you have by the way main beam operates. On earlier cars, when you push the stalk forward for main beam, it stays there. On the later cars, push it forwards and it springs back to center.

Hi everyone, I'm looking at buying a 60plate mk6 which doesn't have cruise control. It's something I'd like to retrofit...

I'm coming at this as a bit of a novice (!) so just wondered if anyone would be kind enough to answer a couple if questions?

- is this even possible? An initial enquiry with the local VW garage, they said no.
- from reading various threads and searches, it seems it depends on the month of manufacture?
- it's not something I'd be comfortable fitting myself, will there be independent garages that would do this, and have the knowledge to do the necessary coding?

Thanks! :smiley:

Had my 09 plate done for £160 and the guy said if it had been 10 plate or newer there's something extra that needs to be done! Might be another £100 but it can be done, where are you based?
