Cruise control kit

[satking]

Hi.
This is my first post on the forum which i find excellent,my vehicle has just about everything but not cruise control which my previous vehicle had,i do miss it and would like to know if there is a kit which i can buy to fit myself.

Hi,

Yes. I've read on a german forum that it's possible to retrofit the cruisecontrol and speedlimiter. Two things need to be done, the control stalk needs to be fitted, and the computer needs to be told that the cruisecontrol is present.

Here's the bill with partnumbers.

18 AW.........................................96,30
A169 462 02 23 Verkleidung.......10,30
A169 540 33 45 Reparatursatz...10,52
A169 545 00 04 Schalter.............65,11
Q1230000 Kleinmaterial..............15,00

Endbetrag (inkl. MwSt.).............228,79 Euro's

Since installing the stalk involves removing the airbag I recommend that this is done by qualified mechanics......

Good luck !!!

when I got my 2006 B class, I was told the cruise control was standard on all models, strange it is not on yours

I think they probably meant standard on all auto models. I read somewhere that 90% of M/B are autos.

Hi Deheld
Do i understand that what you are saying is that the vehicle is pre wired and you just nead to fit these items.

kdbcom, i guess you are right, they must have meant Autos

with the parts needed and the work to fit them, it sounds like it will cost a arm and a leg.

Yes, that is what I understand from the german forum. Makes sense, since the throttle is controlled via a fly-by-wire construction you basically only need the stalk and the adjustment in the computer.
My previous Audi was also pre-wired, it's often cheaper to retrofit the cruisecontrol than to order it from the factory.

Sounds, interesting, I'm hoping to install the cruise control on my B200 CDI. Mine is auto but it is not a standard option, it is optional..

Can someone please explain what is this part number?

18 AW.........................................96,30

It is very simple if done by a professional. I presume that 18AW is work units and the labour fee. It can be done in one hour.

Hi Guys,

My b200 did not came with a cruise control, but I would like to get it retrofit. Had anyone got it done ? The dealership is kinda not calling me back about this.

thanks
