Title: 57 reg Edition 30 can I install cruise control
Post by: PM30S on June 15, 2015, 10:32:38 pm

Hi all just bought a edition 30 on a 57 plate.
Can I just buy a cruise control stalk and fit it or not.
What's involved with getting the car to have this option fitted.
Many thanks

Once fitted you will need vcds to code it...

As above, you just need to fit the stalk and get it coded. VCDS is the coding platform used on VWs to enable things like cruise control. Whereabouts are you from? Someone near you is bound to have it.

Do you have high-line clocks? There is a certain steering wheel controller needed as well.

Please read this thread to understand what you need - being a 57 plate you'll have the wire already going to the ECU, so that's one job down!

Also, look out for the newer shape of the cruise control stalk - version G.

Apart from the odd midline module. All mk5s which have a trip computer be it midline or highline will support cruise control. Early 55 plates and earlier need an additional wire installed.
