Nelson_R32 Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Genuine retrofit Cruise Control (with full fitting instructions) anyone? The kits work out about £30 cheaper than if you were to buy all the bits individually and thats including the steering cowling (which you have to buy individually as there are so many different colour combinations. I've still got to finalising pricing for TSN'ers but we should be looking around £135.00 for the parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Could you fit one for me during the meet weekend? I don't have DIS or multifunction wheel? I'll make it worth your while.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaskat Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 I'm interested can it be fitted DIY style or do you require VAG.com software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson_R32 Posted May 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 VAG COM will be required for the installation as you need to tell the vehicle that Cruise Control is enabled I wouldn't be able to do this UBM but I'm sure there will be people at the meet who have retrofitted it before. Its basically remove steering wheel, remove cowlings, remove control unit, fit new control unit. refit all the other stuff and enable cruise via VAG COM I'm still waiting for A3 8P Cruise control, should be with me within the next two weeks.

nordberg Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Wonder how much the stealers will charge to fit such a device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_C Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Typically about £250-300 IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordberg Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Ouch. So upwards of £400 for retrofit CC. That's a lot of coin..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venomous Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Hello from a lurker! Had my S-Line Steering Wheel and Gear Knob fitted to my 53 A4 130 Sport today, the Independent Specialist was of the opinion that he could do the cruise control work provided he had the wiring diagram. On average they are 50% cheaper than the local stealer for labour costs. Cheers Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_C Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Hello Brian - welcome to TSN I had cruise fitted to my last car (B6 A4) by a dealer, and it was over £300. That was before I knew about TSN and the various ways and means of getting it done for substantially less! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson_R32 Posted May 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Welcome to the forums Venomous, You won't be needing wiring diagrams for the B6 or B7 A4 as the cars are already wired. Its just a case of replacing the Steering Control Unit if it needs it. And also enabling the Cruise Control via VAG COM or Dealer's 50-52 The kits with Control Unit's have a RRP of £164.00 including the cowling and postage and I can supply them to TSN'ers for £145.00 However, I will be requiring vehicle Registrations/Chassis Numbers to order these as I need to find out trim colours/transmission combinations.

Cupramax Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 No, it means finding someone with VAGCOM or a visit to the dealers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordberg Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 OK. I have no idea what VAGCOM is. Time for Google Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson_R32 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Sorry people, I actually made a mistake on the price, I can supply them to TSN'ers for £142.50 Now a stocking live too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynas Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Eek.. that's a good deal. You reckon dealers will bitch if you ask them to enable it? How much would that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will22 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Is that for everything that you need to do it besides Vag-com? Dealer told me that it would be either £110 or £260 if it needs some other thingy and that they won't know until they start taking the thing apart.
