Title: Cruise control 2000 2.2 facelift
Post by: chrisl_1960 on 10 February 2009, 20:53:31
I'm thinking of adding CC to my 2.2 facelift, as far as I'm aware all I need is to fit the relevant stalk, and then have it activated via tech2, is this correct?

does the stalk of any model fit, or does it have to be facelift, and is it engine size specific?

Assuming its an auto then yes i had it done to mine ....30 odd quid for the stalk and half an hour at Vx to have it activated  :y

4 wire stalk (all Omegas the same except 2.5TD), possibly clutch switch if manual, and a chat with a real Tech2 (http://theboy.omegaowners.com)

I'd recommend a brand new genuine stalk - 2nd hand ones prone to failure, and pattern ones are a bit crap

How much is it for a new GM stalk Theboy?

I was thinking of activating mine as well with a wee trip to hotel21 :y :y

Not 100% on the price of a new stalk but, from memory of similar posts on here, less than 30 quid.....  Plus T2 time....   ;)

My thinking hotel21 is,if i get the stalk and get my other key sorted out then i could arrange a 'date' with you and get both done at once.....

IIRC, he needed older style, as no intention of buying the fob part?  Transponder would soon get lost with a horseshoe ;D

I have one spare horseshoe keyblank that would need a) cutting to profile of original key and b) getting transponder set to the car.  No keyfobs or alarm units.  perhaps Martin Imber could sort you out?

Back on the CC point,does anyone have the part no.,for the stalk at the dealer? would be easier,my local dealer is very clever and on the ball! ;D

Hi Guys! I'm new here and this is my first post!

I'd be very intrested in that part number as cruise was the only thing I wanted on the car I just got that it didn't have!

Checked dealer this morning, and inc vat £47 as H21 said, thinking about getting a bit cheeky, and ringing the dealer, see what they quote for the whole job  :)

I was in my stealers at the weekend and they had a poster stating 110 to fit cruise.

PS Digged out my invoice when i bought the stalk on 14/07/08 = 34.98+vat. (With ABS discount) Part No: V0009181011 - 5309A Switch - Signal
