Whilst mine is in being repaired I asked the dealer to check if it's compatible for the dealer fit Cruise Control, yes it is, so at least by the end of this week I will be cruise controlled up as well

The price came in at a smidgen under

I have been following this quite closely myself.

I spoke a dealer yesterday who said that all Octy II CC retrofits were stopped until further notice. I have the instal instructions for the Golf MK5, which I believe will be similar, and it is only suitable for cars with the multifunction steering wheel at the moment.

Be interested to see how yours goes.

If the Golf Mk5 version only works with the multifuction steering wheel then it won't be suitable for the Octy II as it uses buttons on the stalk for CC.

Yes I know.

There are part numbers for the non multifunction kits but when I enquired these weren't yet released.

Was there issues with one done in the UK ?? I heard a rumour of a court case due to an incident with an aftermarket one fitted, not 100% sure of specifics.

i don't know but the Golf instructions are very specific - only with Multifunction wheel.

I have the latest Octavia accessories catalogue (arrived yesterday) and it shows cruise control as a dealer fit accessory for

I am keen to get this fitted to mine (its the one thing I miss not having that was on my old one) and have had simlilar responses from two dealerships in that they say that there are problems with retro fitting cruise control so until those issues have been dealt with this option is not available at present.

I Will be following this with interest.

£60 is the right price for the kit designed for cars fitted with Multifunction steering wheel. The other steering wheel requires another interface which is going to put the price up I think.

What about the Fabia? Anyone had that done - if so prices would be good. Lots of motorway miles makes me want it retro fitted...

Hi All

This is something that we have been looking at.

We believe we can do Cruise and we are offering this at £195.00 + VAT

But as always with the first one we would need the car for the day , but we are keen on doing this.

So if anyone is interested please PM me

Thank you

Sarah

I just called the stealer.

My Cruise is being fitted as we speak,

If the Golf Mk5 version only works with the multifuction steering wheel then it won't be suitable for the Octy II as it uses buttons on the stalk for CC.

but you get CC in Octavias without the multi function steering wheel, so why should that matter

One or two :P

Perhaps the parts for non Multifunction have now been released. Be interesting to see.

It was intimated that the kit available only worked for a car with a multifunction steering wheel which indiacted that the controls would be on the wheel itself. Octy II's do not have the ability to operate CC from the wheel buttons even with the multifuinction wheel fitted. In summary you need a kit which comes with a replacement stalk with CC switches on it. The one mentioned for the MkV Golf won't work.

Well the dealer called, mine is now done, cruise control fitted. As I mentioned I am not picking it up until tomorrow so when I do I will post a picture of the "stalk" and let you know how it works.

cheers

Great news mate - bet your glad to have it.

I've done a bit more research today for Octy II and it is dependant on which control unit you have, nothing to do with the MF steering wheel.

FWIW the Golf kit supplied for use with the MF steering wheel is still controlled by the stalk and not the wheel - it is control unit specific.

Not if you set it for 100mph it won't!

Picked it up tonight, yep the cruise is fitted, same as the elegance and works really well. I missed not having it after having it on the furby before so at a smidge under

Glad you managed to get it fitted OK. Kind of take CC for granted now, so useful on a long motorway journey.

I have just used mine for the first time on those great long traffic free roads of France and found it to be a wonderful bit of kit and dead easy to use. It sits rock steady on the set speed no matter whether it is up hill or down dale.
