Looking into getting cruise control retrofitted to my golf. Been looking but can't find any definite answers.
On my car I have the control module with part number 1KO 953 549 BC. Was wandering if this was compatible and if it was a straight forward fit, Or would I need to change it?

Hi mate,
Not sure if you got it sorted but looks like you got a midline control module which is compatible for cruise control.
Would be good to upgrade to a highline if you wanted to upgrade the steering wheel to a fully MFSW :happy2:
Here's a link to see the specs of your module:

Hope this helps matey

I haven't, Its baffling me! Says on the ross tec site that it wont work, But people are saying it does and doesn't!

You can quote me on this (my tally is nearly 50 now)
BC controller does work with cruise, providing the HW SW is NOT 638
035, 036 and 636 are ok
The above is also applicable to other part numbers
The Ross-Tech info is also wrong when it comes to BS and CB modules
CB is a Highend
BS & CB do not support the G85 behind the slip ring
-
I took a pic of the sticker on the control module. I'll upload it now. All these numbers are confusing me!

Eddie to the rescue

Variants:
Lowline: No additional Options/Features
Midline: Cruise Control, Board Computer
Highline: Cruise Control, Board Computer, Multi-Function Steering Wheel
1K0-953-549-BC Type 2 SW 0070 Midline Yes - #1
As above your module falls under midline which does support cruise control,
Shouldn't have any problems mate
-
but if you look at the #1 it says it doesn't, Strange!
Heres a pic of the sticker on mine

-
That will be fine
-
The HW is 036 which eddie says is ok?
-
Sounds good to me, Thanks for clearing up the confusion!
A local specialist charges £150 to supply and fit this, Does this seem a good price?
-
I would say its a bit expensive! The stalk is £50-£60
-
Think this is something i'd rather someone else do, As I don't fancy messing about taking the steering wheel off. Done it before with a previous car and it was a pain to get the steering wheel straight again after it!

I Charge £90 for supply and fitting the stalk
If the wire is required that adds £20

Quick question on this topic..
I've upgraded from a non mfsw to a mfsw.
Now on the mfsw the buttons are active but the rear wiper has stopped working.
Anyone have any ideas why the rear wiper doesn't work?
Steering wheel conflicting with the stalk?
I feel to just remove the rear wiper totally lol

sounds like a coding issue

hi mate,
could you point me to the right direction with coding where to look as no one seems to have this problem
thanks in advance
-
I can help fit it for you andy, im in Bolton :happy2:
-
Is there a certain part number I need?
Is it plug in then code and it works or is there wiring involved? Mines a 2007 2.0 tdi sport.
-
I think the wire should be there in an 07, its 06 and earlier that didnt have them. Its a steering wheel off job, fit the new stalk and then code it in.
-
This is worth a read if your going for the DIY option and covers both possibilities.

If there's no wiring involved I may give it a go myself, just mark the wheel so it goes back how it comes off, its all the wiring that puts me off along with not having the equipment to code it all in!
-
Theres no wiring involved. I have VCDS too
-
Think I'll be giving you a shout when I'm ready to do this :happy2:
