CRUISE CONTROL RETROFIT - AUDI A3 8P *MK5/6 GOLF/PASSAT/EOS*

[@spantney]

Nice one dude! I actually did this on my S3 a few weeks back, and fitted a flat bottom multi function wheel at the same time. Its probably worth pointing out that you need to make sure you have the correct revision steering control module to support both cruise control & the MFSW. I had to purchase and install one with part code 8P0953549F at the same time I did my retrofit. Also, only 06 onwards cars have the cruise control cable fitted as standard (even if the stalk isn't fitted), so pre 06 cars you need to purchase and run the wire too :)

[@matimcfetridge]

Cheers mate, will pin this comment just incase anyone is wondering about different years etc! To be honest I just risked it and it worked 😂

[@danielnewman7476]

cheers for pinning this I'm going to try it on my 07 se.

[@micul24]

So... which module doesn't support cruise control and mfsw ?

[@liamali8034]

I have a 2012 model so all i need is the stalks and to code it in correct?

[@micul24]

@@liamali8034 Yes,just done mine. You won't need control module for all face-lift A3s.. cars that have DIS (driver info system) will work .all you need is the cruise control stick and coding. Don't forget about the steering wheel lower trim cover for cruise control

[@neilhenry4792]

Thanks! I didn’t realize it was so simple. I was disappointed my new car didn’t have it but will fit it now

[@ВеселинВеселинов-ж4о]

ur videos made me to love my 8p even more

[@cedvaio]

Thank you so much Mati: I needed to change the wipers control and thanks to you video it all went smoothly 😉🤗

[@andrewkyle8837]

I have a similar Audi the back lights are different also on a 59 plate ghost lights I only have the red light on the side nothing under the door other than a plastic cover can I get puddle lights for my A3 sports line no body will give a straight answer yes or no or light convertions

[@billyboland2391]

Another brilliant video Mati, going to do this on my A3, keep the videos coming.

[@matimcfetridge]

Thanks mate! Very easy to do in reality, although was quite scared to attempt it at first 😂

Can I use the same procedure for a manual Audi A3 2009 1.4 TFSI???

[@dunem666]

What's best place to buy the cowling and levers? I have a 2009 2.0tdi manual and hoping to install this

[@matimcfetridge]

Would just go to a breakers yard or failing that get on ebay!

[@t0mhardy]

I enjoyed too much to your humor, I became here to watch montage video but I pretty laughed cheers mate

[@147wilko]

Nice vid. About to o this to mine. Just need to get a lower cowling. Got the stalk and tools. Was nice to watch someone do it all the way through. Have read through a few descriptions and it sounded within my capabilities but seeing it being done was really useful. Hoping to get mine done next week.

[@matimcfetridge]

+Jason Wilkins honestly mate I think you will be fine, I had never done anything like this before and managed to do it first time so you should be sweet! Let me know how it goes and make sure to check out the other A3 videos!

[@grahammcdonald]

At 12m03 one clip at the front, that was tough. I needed a long 2mm Allen.

Just install my cruise control now my car won’t start any idea? Cheers

How hard do you think it would be to retrofit a parking sensor? My car is missing one.

I’m wanting to fit a cruise control to my 2001 mk3.5 golf cabriolet 2.0 litre. I got the cruise control bits off a breaker car but it was manual and mine is automatic. Looks like it’s going to be a difficult job. Any tips to give me? 😁

[@scap11]

Mate I’m loving the vids.. got an 8p Now I’m struggling to find a flat bottom steering with DSG paddles Any suggestions?

[@tof3275]

Hi Mati can you tell me the part number of the lower cowl that you purchased

[@uszokrepper1]

Are you sure that is only required the tempomat module without coding? It seems you did not coded afterwards but it works still? Many videos saying that you have go code it..

[@SameerBux-yo6rc]

Hi, did you have any traction control issues or absa coding issues after?

[@adalhussain1123]

I’m trying to find the cowelling stalk box but I can’t seem to find it?

I thought it was impossible to install and can only be done during manufacturing?

[@everydayshorts5988]

Hi, I have Audi A3 2009 plate I really want to fit cruise control in my Audi. Can you please explain where can I get this kit and where I can get it coded from. I would really appreciate that.

[@matimcfetridge]

Kit from eBay, can get it coded at pretty much any garage. Cheers!

[@everydayshorts5988]

[@JonathanBrown-e6r]

Is retro fitting the cruise control the same as getting it from from factory? Or is it not the same?

[@scitec717]

Same as factory, but not as easy to fit as what he makes it seem if you haven't done it before or not used to working on them VAG cars

[@anxhelomamo2880]

Hi there Mati I have been considering undertaking this on my 8P1 ( 2009 ) 3 door hatchback but I have been put off by the connection to the accelerator and brake connection. While watching the video I see that you did not touch either of these so am I correct in thinking that this can be achieved with the use of my MAXIECU OBD 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 One last thing can you please tell me the Audi Part Number of your "engine cover" because all the ones I am seeing have the oil filler hole on the right hand side 😊😊😊😊

[@stefianio]

Can this be done with a manual 8p as easy?

Don't see why not, still got an electronic pedal!

where can I find this?

[@tof3275]

Hi Mati I have just watched your video on "Cruise Control" and I have some questions ; 1) My steering wheel does NOT have the extra buttons as seen on your steering wheel, am I OK to go ahead and fit ? 2) I do not have a computer game BUT I have a MAXIECU reader, can I do the coding from there ? 3) How do I know that the steering wheel is correctly lined up, are there any Audi marks for reference ? Tony

[@matimcfetridge]

As far as I know mate you need the multifunction wheel, cant help you with the coding Im afraid as I did mine on VCDS at a garage so thats the only way I can confirm works. As for the steering wheel just make sure you put steering lock on before you start and try put it back the same as you take it off 😂 you will know when you drive it if you need to move it a spline

Hi Mate, Is this will work for 2010 Audi A3 1.4 TFSI? Can I buy it online?

It will.

[@Camcanoe]

Do you know if its possible to drive the car again before coding? I've read somewhere you need to clear some fault code or something... I'm gonna do the retrofit but I'm relying on a friend for coding so hoping I can do it at home and then drive round his.

[@matimcfetridge]

Yeah I drove mine to that garage that coded it mate 👍🏼

[@edchambers]

Well despite the weather and the dogging-spec steamy windows that turned out ok in the end. I take it the GoPro yielded no useful footage (or did you forget to check it 😂). Pretty sure that's the code for auto locking though. Thought Cruise-Control was: ⏹⏹▶️⏺⏺🔼◀️🔽🔽
