Cruise Control fitting guide
Moz:
I've just spoke with Awesome GTI over them fitting this for £150. They said if my wheel isn't multi function, I'll have to replace the steering ECU at £135 on top of the £150.
Does this sound right to anyone?
I have a 05 GTI and it doesn't have a Multi Function Sterring wheel and only has half MFD.
Can anyone advise?
vRStu:
Yep sounds right to me. If they offer a service based on a requirement for parts which is then exceeded, in your case by needing a new steering, controller then it's correct to add that cost to the service.
You would be wise to try and ascertain which controller you have beforehand in case you don't need it.

Thanks for the reply mate.
I understand the process for the parts cost on top, my question was more directed towards "Does my vehicle fall into this category"
Obviously I don't have a the Multi Function Steering wheel, so does this automatically put me into this bracket of a new steering controller, if not, what can I do to confirm if I need a new controller or not.
Taking into account, at the moment, I don't have access to VCDS.
Thanks in advance.

Dude, a MFSW is NOT a requirement for cruise control retro fitting, and you don't need VCDS to find out what steering controller you have. Just drop the cowling around the column and you will find the controller attached underneath, the part number should be clearly visible, post or PM the number and I will confirm if retrofit is possible.
To access the controller, turn the steering wheel 90 degrees each way to expose 2 x torx screws, there is a third screw underneath in the recess where the rake and reach lever is.

Ah- thanks for clearing that up mate. I'll have a look tomorrow and get back to you with the part number to confirm. Be nice if it was possible without changing the controller etc.
Nice one mate
