i've just bought a 2.2 manual sport and after two elite models i miss the cruise control. is it possible to fit easily?

[jonathanh]

yep, need stalk, brake switch, clutch switch (may be fitted anyway if a manual) and a chat with a tech2

[Taxi_Driver]

Should just need the stalk.......worth trying it first to see if it works without giving the stealer money for the tech2 chat

Would the cruise control unit for a v6 pre facelift work ok with a 2.2 facelift model? If you do need a control box have one here nice and cheap

You dont need anything apart from the stalk and to make sure the brake/clutch(if manual) switch is there......which they should be for a 2.2 and to make sure the ECU knows it got cruise fitted(hence the tech2 needed)

2.2/2.6/3.2 are drive by wire (ie electronically controlled) and hence no need for other throttle additions

I have a 2.2 auto 2002 CD .... im interested in fitting cruise as well ... if i read correctly all i need is the stalk and a wee chat to tech 2 .... is that correct and where do i get the stalk from ??

Correct  

Either scrappy or dealer.........from dealers about £30ish

Then about £45-50 for tech2 at dealer (if it doesnt work.....ie not already enabled)

Tho tech2 work will be cheaper if you bump into TB or MDTM

Mmm its very tempting .... ive seen a few stalks on flea bay from £13 used to £30 new ....i'll assume its just an easy job to sawp the stalks over  :-/ ...  just a pity i dont stay near anyone with the little machine

2.2 just needs stalk, and a chat with Tech2.  Never come across a non CDX 2.2 with cruise enabled in ecu.

Ive ordered the new stalk ... so when i comes i'll fit it and go see Mr VX

Ok i've fitted my new stalk today   ... phoned round a few dealers to have it enabled ... 2 out of 3 said it could be done but one said its a hit or miss and possibly would not work on my car ??  ...unfortunatly the one who said it may not work was the cheapest to have tech 2 session  :-/

[Proz]

Well im booked in tomorrow for a half hour session on the magic machine to get my cruise activated .... hope it works fine  :-/

[markey mark]

fit it you might already have it enabled matey !!

I did fit it earlier today and went out for a run and tried it .... didnt seem to work alas ..... lights , indicators all work fine though ...so looks like i need to pay for the machine
