Located in Lincolnshire.  would rather not have to travel to Newcastle to a chap i dont really know for something as safety crucial as fitting cruise if i am really honest.

be grateful if you could please...then i can see if it's beyond me!  :chicken:  would i then need someone with vagcom or whatever the current equivalent is to "code" it for me?  any volunteers?  :happy2:

Yes it will need vagcom to code it in. Pretty simple though if you can get hold of it

Yeah?  would appreciate that fella  :happy2:  am waiting on the link to the long fitting instructions and if i can do it i may well take you up on that if the offer stands.  have you done one before, is it straight forward to code it?

any other links useful to me for this appreciated...but i am going to look in the how to guides section first!
