Hi

I have a 2010 Octavia 1.6TDI CR which I believe to be the base model.

My dash display tells me outside temperature and trip...that is all.

The car has no cruise control on the light stalk or extra buttons on the wiper stalk, can I change the stalks for ones with the extra buttons, and will doing so allow me to do more with the dash and have cruise control?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, to be completely sure, I advise you to do a complete autoscan via VCDS to determine which module and unit you have and determine what parts you will need (for example, there are two types of stalks, one composed of two singular stalks, and in this case, the needed one is just the left, and the other case is just a single assembly) just to understand how to proceed. Because looking online, it seems for the mid and high trim, the stalk replacement and coding are all that are needed, but I believe in your case, also some wiring will be needed. Online, and on Briskoda, there are a lot of guides.

For example, here there is some useful info:

Hopefully this is of use!

Thank you, (I've run the VIN via skodaparts to check the components). Judging just by the number of pins between your steering unit 1K0 953 549 DA and the other available (medium and high versions), there are a lot of pin differences. I've found this website that sells the CC retrofit kit where you can ask for info about:

https://wibutec-shop.com/Retrofit-kit-GRA-cruise-control-system-Skoda-Octavia-1Z-from-02-2004-to-05-2010

If you enter your VIN code, the price will go up to €364 because you don't have a multi-function display, which is related to the steering module (cruise control MFSW, etc.), so I believe the retrofit kit will include the module, stalk and wiring.

Also, considering the fact that you have access to VCDS, see if you can enable it just out of curiosity, but I am really sure that it will not work.

Thankyou so much for doing all that for me, looks like I will probably give up on the cruise control dream, dont really want to start pouring money into the old girl!

Just to tick the box, what option would I be enabling in VCDS?

Any idea about the dash display and if there's a way of it showing things like consumption, not just the outside temperature?

You're welcome, happy to help. You can try to ask that company and see what they say, and if they give you any part number or idea of what you need, you can look for them used on eBay or a local scrapyard. For the cluster function on the VCDS "home page" there is the cluster menu called 17 - Instrument. In my Fabia (I've done a lot of upgrades and retrofits like rear electric windows), for example, I've managed to modify the service interval from 15k km to 10k km (I prefer to do the service earlier to preserve the timing chain and general engine life) and also to enable the washer fluid warning light (one wire to the cluster and the sensor in the washer bottle), and enabling the liter of fuel that is needed to fill up or needle sweep. That's just for the cluster. I don't have the Maxidot, so the functions are a bit limited. You can also look for other modules, especially for the comfort module / central electrics, to enable other functions like opening the window by pressing the unlock button on the keyfob and things like that, also in the abs module I'm not sure if you have a newer gen of abs unit, but you can try to look for tpms (it uses the abs sensor to determine the tire rotation to detect if all the wheel are rotating the same way if not there is an air leak and the warning light turn on but the only way to reset it is via vcds or retroffitting the switch) and also automatic hill hold if you are stopped up hill or down hill while having clutch and brake pressed the car stay stand still for about 3 to 4 second allowing you to move without the handbrake method (I've learned that way, but some electronic helping is not always bad).

For the temperature depends on whether there is a thermometer (installed probably yes) and for fuel consumption, I believe it is possible.
