Thanks for the reply Higgy I will certainly be looking into this. Was your SE cruise control fitted from the factory or retrofitted? As this is another thing that I am currently hoping to have fitted.

Hi Folks Looking for a wee bit of advice. Been racking my brains while waiting for local dealer to get car booked into check. I am planning on getting cruise control retro fitted but I am aware that it is a 50/50 that it can be done due to my15 changes. I have found that it can only be retrofitted to vehicles fitted with a Kostal switch which I believe to be the steering wheel control switch that is behind the steering wheel. I have the 3 spoke wheel with no multi function buttons on it. I have been looking for a website that can check parts by vin. The only ones that I can find is realoem but it says my vin is not recogised. It has part numbers for Kostal switches and Valeo switches which i am guessing is the ones that arent compatible. Has anyone had any success on getting cruise control retro fitted to vehicles newer than 64 plates? Or have another website that I has parts by vin? Beginning to wish I didnt listen to the dealer saying that it could be retrofitted as they failed to notice that the car needed to have a Kostal switch and just waited out for a SEL model which would have saved a whole lot of hassle haha Thanks Sleeper17

I know there is other topics covering this but they all seem to be before MY16. I have recently got myself a 2016 model Octavia SE however I thought I wouldnt miss the old steering wheel controls over the years. But how wrong have i been. Maybe if the old buttons were on the stereo it woudnt be so bad. However I am wondering if the old problem of depending on module fitted lowline midline etc still a problem on the newer cars that come with the 3 spoke steering wheel? Is it now possible to fit the control buttons and get it coded and away you go? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Joe

Hey from Sunny Scotland. Back to a Skoda. Owned a Fabia a few years ago. Which i found to be very good on diesel and very reliable although it had no power (SDi) I have decided to go back to Skoda. And have got myself a 65 plate Octavia SE 1.6TDI
