cruise control retrofit

Featured Replies

can someone help me out with how difficult it is how to retrofit this 

It can be done.

PM Techie1. He's done quite a few for forum members

can't seem to find him 

You will need:

 

1. the cruise control lever unit which comes with all the wiring 

2. and maybe, maybe not the correct comfort unit to support the cruise control function.

 

Then it is a matter to install both - I hope you only need the stalk otherwise it will be an expensive retrofit.

It needs to be coded in via vcds aswel

Its not a simple clip on job. Most people wouldnt be able to do it themselves, if thats what you're thinkin?

New stalks are needed and a a wire running to the ecu. Vcds is also needed to program it on. Saw the guys at awesomegti fitting mine. 300 pounds including fitting.

It's a pretty involved job, I had tech1e fit mine on a 2012 Roomster. The kit for mine included new stalks, wiring and a body control module (or comfort unit), which was not required. The car also needed to be coded at the Skoda workshop.

That would be because i gave you his username wrong aha.

Its Tech1e.

Apologies

Mine's is pretty much fully loaded, Climate control, Maxi dot, sav nav with the DAB (RNS 315 Amundsen+) and rear sensors as well which come up on the display.

 

Only thing that wasn't fitted was the cruise which they put on it for me, Just checked the invoice £275 + £55 vat £330

It was done 4 weeks ago and I've owned the car for 3 weeks so far and put over 2000 miles on it although 800 of that was driving it back to Scotland! I'll pm you the reg.

Thanks so much - I have had mine 2 weeks and love it - Its just the cruise I need to complete the car

Tech1e on here is your man. Hes near Worcester and retrofits cruise.

Does a great job too n Ross is a nice guy.

I wouldnt use anyone else tbh....

Thanks for advice - I have now got Winchester Skoda to do it - after numerous calls and 3 other local Skoda dealers refusing to do it!!!

It is a pain in the arse job to do, so thats probably why they dont want to do it. It took my dealer about four days to do mine! They had terrible problems trying to get it to accept its code. In the end it turned out the car needed a software update before it would take it.

Glad you are getting it sorted.

I swore after doing one on a roomster never again

Respect to those people. Who do them
