How to retro fit cruise control. Comprehensive guide
cagiva:
Just thought I would post to say a huge thanks for this guide - I now have fully working cruise control on my 2006 Golf TSI and have managed to clear all warning lights. I didn't need to diagnostic wire - I wasn't sure since it always say pre and post 2006, and my car is 2006 - but can confirm that the 2006 models have the wire.
Couple of tips I had if anyone is stuck:
1. To remove airbag use your phone with forward facing camera so you can see on the screen what you are doing, it makes it much easier to remove the two clips.
2. Make sure you put your steering wheel back on straight - my guide line was inbetween two notches on so I got it wrong the first time.
I did have quite a big problem with the steering warning light. I also had the traction control warning light on, and the "ESP" button near the gearstick was on, saying that traction control was turned off.
My car has the MK60 brakes and I followed the two parts of the guide several times without success, and for some reason my power steering completely stopped working. I eventually went out for a drive (with no power steering), during my journey the power steering just came back on and the ESP warning light disappeared. I stopped in a lay-by and did the steering reset process again and it worked. So if you have problems with the steering warning light, ESP light or no power steering then just keep doing the two steps to reset it and go for a drive, keep repeating and it will work.

Apologies for reviving an old thread but thought it better to revive this than start a new one on the same topic.
My question is can someone please explain to me how exactly you work out what number you should input where this install was 000032?
I.e., what are the parameters for deciphering this code or am I missing something REALLY obvious!?
I have everything else done, ie., stalk installed, wire already present and all codes cleared. Just the coding to activate the CC itself required.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Regards,
Mick.

A helper window should popup when entering in the code, however you do need to activate cruise control in the engine control module too.

Thank you for the quick reply.
Am I to understand that this helper window will assist in deciphering the correct code to input?
I've only recently gotten VAGCOM etc and am very new to this coding lark so apologies if that is a very silly question!
Thanks again.

Yes it should tell u what what each digit is for, you have to add the values in the helper popup and enter that number in
