Hi all - I have a 1996 t5 with no cruise control.

Q: Is it possible to retro fit a cruise control to my baby?
Well obviously it can be done, but is it simple and what is involved - has anyone done such a conversion??

It may be cheaper than inadvertently racking up more points on my licence!!!!
.....and better for road safety all round obviously ;>)

It is possible and being as 850's are fairly common these days you should be able to pickup all the parts fairly cheaply.

No, there's no software upgrade on the older cars, just fit the hardware.

Would this also fit a 2000 C70 T5 Convertible?

Personally I have no idea. I dont even know how to do my 850.
When I do, and post my how to, you can read it and see.

We may be some way off.
