Hello, I have purchased (but still need to collect) a 2013 Octavia vRS. It doesn’t come with cruise control and it would be great if it could be Retro-fitted. Is it possible? Can anyone let me know who/where/how much?

I’d also like to get another set of alloys so I can use one set for winter and one for summer. Where’s the best place to look for decent second hand ones? Any for sale here?

Once I take delivery, I’ll post up some pics and hope to be an active member for many years

Also, search this forum for Cruise Control Retrofit. It should be possible and you may be able to get it done at a dealership, or do it yourself.

Many thanks

Yes its definately possible, there is a thread with all the détails & overall costs but it should be possible for a dealer to do it too.

If I remember right the cost wasnt so bad even for a dealer fit including coding the cruise activation (which must be done by the dealer).

Way back in 2007 when I purchased my mk5 Golf, VW dealers kept telling me cruise was only a factory option (£225).  Then by chance I checked a leaflet at one dealership which said cruise can be fitted for £150. Salesman went to check, found out that it could indeed be fitted to a MK5. So I bought their pre-reg GT.

 

£225 for a factory fit option or £150 for the exact same system to be added at the dealership. Crazy or what?  Hope you have similar luck with Skoda.

Great thanks. I’ll speak with my nearest Skoda dealer... but not sure which is best in Essex area? If anyone can recommend a helpful and reputable dealer that be great
