Cruise control retrofitting??
« on: 07 February 2014, 18:00 »
Hey,

Been reading some of the searches for this information and seen some members have fitted it on here but not really too much info.

I bought a mk6 GTD and the only thing it's missing is cruise control and i was wondering about fitting it?

Been advised i need to change my steering wheel control module and obviously fit a c/c stalk. Does anyone know the part numbers id need or have them for sale? I have vag com so should b able to code myself.

Any help appreciated

Hi,

Had cruise fitted at the VW dealer,mine is a 2012 model year,as far as I can gather it depends a lot on the M/Y as far as costs go,best I could get mine for was £290 all in,if it had been pre 2012 it would have been £165 inc.

I have a G revision stalk cruise kit that is Gen VW ,brand new and unused, spare from my edition 30 if needed, what else you would need I have no idea,Sorry.

Thanks mate. Im not even sure which one i need or i would try source the parts.

I've heard fitting is easier than a mk5 so i could prob fit it myself if i knew what to buy lol

Will maybe call the dealers on Monday to see about a price but i would guess it would b cheaper to fit myself

I may be wrong but I think its on 09 to 2011 MY its a single cruise/indicator stalk and 12MY is both stalks and slip ring hence the jump in price.

Part no. for the kit I have is 1k0 054 690A and the stalk has a G on the end of the part no.

Gs wax - see ive been told by a guy that retrofits them that I need both stalks and the right module but obviously since he sells them he won't give part numbers. My car is an 2010 GTD

Mattyj - i wish it was that simple for me! I have vag com etc just need to talk to an expert who can advise me what will work in my car lol.

Seen there's a member on here Thedoc, seems to know his stuff so maybe he or someone else could help

Why would you need two sticks? Don't get that at all

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.

Although mine is the GTI, it is a 2010 car like yours. I had the Cruise retrofitted by the dealer before I picked up the car and the cost was £162 as they only needed to replace the one stalk. Worth it in my opinion and I got a 2 year warranty on it.
