stupid Q re: Cruise Control
« on: 23 November 2009, 11:19:14 »
I have a 2001 2.6 CD, how do I know whether or not I have cruise control, as I'm not sure the car has it.

Sorry for the duh question!

thanks!

Have you got 3 buttons on the end of your indicator stalk?

No then. You need to get a cruise stalk (best new from VX on a trade club card), fit it then get yourself to http://theboy.omegaowners.com and contact your closest tech2 guy to enable it ;) :y

Hey may be able to plug & play. I bought mine, swapped the stalks & had instant cruise. Doesn't work for everyone though.

Plug and play on the diesels I was told, not so on the petrol, well on my 2.2 anyway.
Most simple mod I have done to my TD.

When I had my 2.2 fitted-as stated-needed tech2, but also highly recommend if doing this to also update ECU and 'box software AT SAME TIME.

I went back to update this AFTER my cruise was enabled-cheaper if done together.
The ECU/'box update modified the crazy flat-out acceleration on resume to a nice gentle build up back to resume speed and also made the cahnges smoother.

TIP-get software updates done at same time as enabling, while you are hooked up to the tech2  :y

Mine cost £32+vat at VX main dealers-basically half an hour of labour.

To clarify the tech2 bit:

2.2 petrol, 2.6,3.2 WILL need chat with Tech2. No ifs/buts.

others (inc the 2.2dti it would appear), no tech2 needed
