Adding a cruise conversion

[woz]

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.

dont u have to have a software upgrade which i think is quite expensive from volvo

[Tomcat]

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

Hi,we keep all the bits for the conversion,the whole thing we do at £50 inc next day shipping.Easy to fit,bit fiddly wedging yourself down by the pedals but otherwise a piece of cake.

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.
