hi i have a 2010 superb 2 (bxe), is it possible to retrofit the cruise control to it if so what do i need. thanks in advance. 

Hi, I have done a few retrofits in Audi S4, VW Passat and a few T5 and 5.1 transporters and can say if TPS do a retrofit kit, you can do it in around 4 hours if you haven't done one before or a bit longer if you aren't an auto mechanic with the correct hand tools.

TPS will need to know if you have a rear wiper, trip computer, multi function steering wheel and a few other things to make sure you get the correct stalks for your car. The airbag has to come off and the clock spring to swap over the stalks. Around six wires need to be fitted into the stork connector which has to be opened up to insert the fine pins, then off to J519 to connect into one of its plugs, then power feed from SC fuse box on side of dash which you will need a tool to remove a fuse terminal and substitute with the one in the loom so it spices into it in effect with proper connectors. Then off to another connector block ( Ebox under the battery Transporter). Then the engine ecu and J519 (BCM) needs coding to allow it to work with ODIS or VCDS. The kits are fairly cheap, but it does take some effort to plumb it in. Looks like a bit less wiring to do on the Superb, check these guys out:

About six years ago I fitted cruise control to my 2009 1.9 (BXE) S hatch, no multi-function steering wheel. 

 

The installation was easy apart from (for my car!) a wire needed to be run from the steering wheel controller into the engine ECU plug (located alongside the wiper motor mechanism)  The ECU has anti-tamper 'shear' bolts which have to be removed to get to the ECU connector.  A single black wire was supplied by the online shop who supplied me  the stalk upgrade (gen. standard VW part in box).  The wire, and critically, its connector pin, had a VW part number - I think mine was for a VW EOS. 

 

The connector head that fits the ECU has to come apart to fit the new pin/wire.  That connector is quite an intricate and ingenious piece of design, it is not immediately obvious how the pin fits in.  Also the position (number) that it fits into needs to be known (is it 21???).  A 'dummy blanking' pin is removed for the new pin to fit into the vacated space.

 

But, yours may already have the wire fitted from the factory, in which case it's much more straightforward, however the steering wheel controller changed in 2010 IIRC, and the newer one is not compatible with 'my' upgrade as is, hopefully yours is the same as mine.
