As I am doing a heap of other stuff, I thought it would be a great idea to fit cruise to my 3.0 facelift.
I have looked but I can't see anything that tells me what I need, apart from the stalk, control box and cable....
I'm sure there's a switch on the brake or clutch plus a fuse???
Anybody done this??? Is it plug and play or, Do I need a software update???
Any help would be great.....

Sorry if this is a silly question bearing in mind it's a fl, but does it have a throttle cable or is it DBW?

It's not whether it's facelift or not .......... 2.5 & 3.0 have throttle cables, 2.6 & 3.2 are both drive by wire

Cheers Andy, couldn't remember which way round it was! Advice differs accordingly

I'm sure I'll be corrected if need be, but if your car is auto then I think you'll need to swap your two pin brake switch for a four pin switch. Just plug & play with no software update needed.   
If you have an extra pedal, you'll need the appropiate switch on that too.

As Andy says, and you don't need tech2 

[HockeyDave55]

Thanks guys, that's all good to know..
It is indeed a 3.0 manual (with a cable throttle)
I've not looked yet but does the loom/harness support the 4 pin switch? Is it an extra switch? Or, Does it replace to 2 pin??? And as I think Andy B is saying, there is another switch on the clutch pedal?

Spot on, if manual then you need to get a clutch switch too, the connecter is tucked up behind the fuse panel, mine was cable-tied up there. Real easy addition and so worth it.
I changed the 2pin brake switch for a 4pin switch and got a clutch switch from a dealer for £30 IIRC. that was 2 years ago though...

I just poked my massive head under the dash and it has a 4 pin switch on the brake pedal but nothing on the clutch?? Strange?
Edit that.... Is it a 4 wire plug going into a 2 pin switch?

It won`t have, that`s why you need to get one

Yep, as mine was exactly. you'll need to buy a 4pin brake switch and a clutch switch.

30seconds to fit, make sure you test the brake lights after you fit the brake switch, you'll see when you buy one that there is a ridged area with a slide-on locking piece of plastic that can be adjusted. I drove with brake lights on for a day and CC wouldn't work due to not adjusting this first!

Thanks for the heads up, is there a procedure for setting the switch?

Yer there is.

Fit switch, turn ignition on and see if brake lights are on. If not = Good.
If on without your foot on the pedal, slide out plastic locking piece and reinsert to the next ridge up.

It's easier than it sounds, the second omega I retro'd CC to was fine, new switch in and no adjustment needed.
