Santa claus had suddently decided i was a good little boy and so, under the tree i found the "old" laptop of my brother togheter with the Vag-com :rofl:

It didn' take long until i succesfully activated DRL Usa style (dimmed at 60%) and auto lock/unlock of the doors.

I'm now thinking about retrofitting the cruise control, (as i can activate it via VAG), on the net you find loads of complete kits (lever + wires) but the question is:

How does i know if my car is " cruise control ready"??

I noticed several kits are intended for Octies after 07/2005, i own a 12/2004 Octy II 1.6 MPI Ambiente.

Thanks in advance for any help

i have a post some were now pal wit loads of cruise ontrol info, im just trying to find it, i fitted my stalk and wire then activated it via computer and still no joy. hoping to get some were now im off work for a week

Your early Octavia will almost certainly need the additional wire to the ECU.

1.6 Ambiente might not have the correct steering controller, do you have an onboard computer?
