Mook Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Shark_90 is the best one to answer your question. He did just about every OEM mod you can to his B6 A4 1.8T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Welcome to my world Cruise control is available without changing the steering wheel. You would gain an extra stalk underneath the indicator stalk to control the system. The multi function wheel is also retrofittable, however it is generally regarded as cost prohibitive. Also, the multifunction wheel for the B6 is rather drab, it's the 4 spoke SE wheel with some buttons on either side of the airbag. I retrofitted the 3 spoke B7 version to my car with the scroll wheels however due to the uncertainty of the dual-stage airbag with the B6's single stage system, I wouldn't like to be held responsible for any ramifications and therefore have never retrofitted one for someone. Let me know your thoughts and we can work something out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark_90 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 With the B6 steering wheel, not a lot!! I must admit I use cruise quite a lot, especially through SPECS areas where they check your average speed. If it's laziness then to be honest the cost will definitely outweigh the advantages!!!

maersk Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Would not be without cruise. Use it all the time in 40 and 50 limits where they are on duals and are (black) rat traps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitch3110 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Another one for cruise, once you have lived with it very hard to do without. Bit like auto boot lid, Sky+, a Blackberry, barbour quilts, Pearl Jam, a Westfield, Coors Light, monkfish, a deep bath, a good Touraine Sauvignon & that thing you do with ya misus when you are both really really drunk....................
