Title: MV6 cruise control retorfit
Post by: Matthew Woodward on 06 July 2010, 09:29:42
I have just bought a 3.2 MV6 estate, 2001 year.
Am I right in thinking that to get cruise control I just need to buy the stalk on some bay site, fit it and then get Vauxhall to turn the cruise option on in my ecu?
I hope its this simple.

That`s it, but I`d get a new stalk from VX, round the 30-40 quid mark. May be someone near you with TechII. Put your location up :)

Yup  :y

2nd hand stalks often go faulty in a short time.
pattern from ebay - ive found dont work very well, poor lock etc
genuine - bit more expensive £40 ish, but work well and reliable,

yes, or get yourself to one of our meets, there are normally a few tech2's at those.

Can also get a through check over of your car, and other updates done too like climate panel update, and gearbox ecu update  :y

some updates would be fantastic. When is the next meet in the Kent area? Or Cornwall area is possible too.
Would love the car checked etc
